U.S. rokk heads: welcome to your Ozzfest. Sure, it's only two bands, but a Kings of Leon/Black Rebel Motorcycle Club tour is sure to be almost as full of guitars, beards, and black clothing as Ozzy's labor of love.

The RCA labelmates will hit the road together in September for a month and a half of shows, and they have quite a few dates separately as well. BRMC's tour continues tonight (July 27) in Östersund, Sweden, and the Kings pick up again in Minneapolis on August 2.

Both bands' new records, BRMC's Baby 81 and Kings of Leon's Because of the Times, are out now.
