Continuing today’s trend of notable bands teaming up for high-profile tours, Kings of Leon will hit the road this summer with the likes of Built to Spill, The Black Keys, The Whigs, The Features, and The Stills. Yeah, sound the odd touring combination alert!

As previously reported, Kings of Leon will return from a six month hiatus to embark on a four month North American endeavor, starting June 5th in Atlantic City. The aforementioned outfits will split opener duties; The Whigs will kick things off before Built to Spill and The Features take over beginning July 9th. On July 23rd, it’s The Stills turn. Then, starting August 3rd, The Black Keys and The Whigs will hop on the tour bus, serving as openers for the remaining of the tour. Got all that? If not, just check out the complete tour listing below.

We should also note that The Stills’ stint will prove particularly special as it will mark the return of original guitarist/vocalist Gregory Paquet. Paquet departed The Stills to go back to school after the band wrapped touring on its acclaimed 2003 debut, Logic Will Break Your Heart. After Paquet’s departure, drummer Dave Hamlin, moved out from behind the kit to play guitar in the band, while touring keyboardist, Liam O’Neil became a permanent member. Paquet will renew his duties as guitarist, accompanying his now current bandmates on their two week leg with Kings of Leon.

Tickets for the upcoming tour are currently available via Ticketmaster.com.

Update: Post updated w/ correct opener dates.
