Kings of Leon 时隔 13 年重返奥斯汀城市极限音乐节压轴，携弦乐团献唱新单曲《My Whole World》
10 月 10 日，美国摇滚乐队 Kings of Leon 在德州奥斯汀 Zilker Park 举行的 2026 年奥斯汀城市极限音乐节（Austin City Limits，ACL）上担任压轴演出，这是乐队自 2013 年以来首次重返 ACL 舞台。
本场演出最大的亮点是完整弦乐团的加入。乐队请来小提琴家克里斯汀·韦伯（Kristin Weber，以 "Strings of Leon" 为人所知）同台，在热门曲《Back Down South》中担任弦乐，随后又将《The Bronx》与德州乡村传奇乔治·斯特雷特（George Strait）的经典《Amarillo By Morning》串烧演绎，向德州致敬，引得全场大合唱。
演出的核心曲目是新单曲《My Whole World》的现场呈现。这首歌收录于乐队的第十张录音室专辑《O My Beloved》，专辑将于 11 月 6 日由 Love Tap Records 发行、Virgin Music 负责发行渠道。乐评认为这首单曲展现了乐队在词曲深度上的新方向。
主唱卡莱布·福洛威尔（Caleb Followill）在台上介绍韦伯登场时透露，她参与了新专辑的录制。弦乐的加入让乐队标志性的 anthem 式摇滚更具戏剧张力，也被视为新专辑声音美学的一次预演。
奥斯汀城市极限音乐节是美国历史最悠久的音乐节之一，Kings of Leon 此次回归压轴，被视为本届音乐节最具分量的摇滚时刻。
Kings of Leon Return to Austin City Limits Headline Slot After 13 Years, Debut New Single 'My Whole World' With String Section
On October 10, American rock band Kings of Leon headlined the 2026 Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas — the band's first return to the ACL stage since 2013.
The landmark set was elevated by a full live string section. The band brought acclaimed violinist Kristin Weber (of 'Strings of Leon,' who played on the new record) on stage for the fan-favorite 'Back Down South,' then wove 'The Bronx' into a tribute medley of Texas country icon George Strait's 'Amarillo By Morning,' drawing a massive singalong.
The centerpiece of the evening was a sweeping live rendition of the band's new single 'My Whole World,' taken from their upcoming tenth studio album 'O My Beloved,' due November 6 via Love Tap Records and distributed by Virgin Music. Critics have praised the single for showcasing the band's evolved lyrical depth.
Frontman Caleb Followill introduced Weber to the crowd, noting she played on the new record. The orchestration added dramatic depth to the band's signature anthemic sound — and offered a preview of the new album's sonic direction.
Austin City Limits is one of America's longest-running music festivals, and Kings of Leon's return to its headline slot stands as one of this year's defining rock moments.
