Followed the followills since i seen them with ther beards at ther first t in park. They have progressed well. But they went a bit poppy, so i reckon they sold out. Bring back the rock on the next album. (And the beards), yeah!

Cath
Yup, I never thought I would say this, but I wanna see beards n long hair again!!!

kings of leon were amazin!! waited all night to be at front and eventually got there but when kings came on we got to squashed and had to move back was gutted :(..the crowd did sing along to all of there songs, especially me, but obviously more people are going to sing to sex on fire more than any other song cus it was number one and everybody knows it!! highlight of my weekend aswell as killers and paolo nutini!!!

geffy dundee
Still disappointed they did not close the sunday instead of Blur ( who were rubbish). But still every time i hear The Bucket live i get the shivers down my spine!! Rock on Kings

Nelson Mandela
Kings of Leon are no match for my band 'jail house blues' still a good band

elaie
great

Monkey Boy
Love them but ever since Only By the Night they've attracted a fan base that just don't get it. Watch the clip and see how they go mad over the new tracks and don't even know any of the early stuff. Move onto Kasabian, this is getting old!

Caax3
I LOVED KOL! I absolutely loved them this year! l love all there songs! Rock on KOL!!!!!!! :D

Ross
I think as much as Blur were amazing KOL should have closed TiTP 2009. Black Thumbnail at the end wiz just amazing.

bex
wicked! the best ive seen kol stand out to me .i love it

claire'n'ian/scotland
kings of leon were amazing! cant wait 2 c them again!

Ross Corbett
I must have been to around 200+ live concerts but this set was just totaly amazing, you could tell from the effort the band put into the performance that they were here at T IN THE PARK because they wanted to be there on the night, i listened to the music with a lot of focus to see how they woul;d do in the open air at such a huge venue and all i can say is they rocked, if there was a roof big enough to cover the place they would have taken it off they were that good, hope to see them again soon KOL-KOOL

Fiona
I missed KOL this yr, was not well and had 2 go bak 2 ma tent!!:(Alot of my friends reckon they were better last yr tho!! Which is hopefully the truth, then I didn't miss anythin!

becca
was epci! i was there.. wanted to see KOL for ages now and i'm so glad i finally got to see them. made my weekend. took me all day to get anywhere near the stage though.. well worth it! their new album birlliant no matter what anyone says so get off your high horse and get over it =D and i can assure you Sex on Fire was NOT the only song anyone sang along too. Caleb could barely get a word in.. KOL forever!

David Thomson
i have a friend that works on the production for the bbc and he said the kings did not want their set to be on tv at all. however they eventually agreed to a few songs. they feel they are over exposed. blur were the same.

debbie knight
what can a say lost for words they are the best luv it

Chris
thats harsh, saying our loss, some of us werent lucky enough to go. I was meant to go but my mate bailed on me at the last minute. So full coverrage would of been great to see, whats the dealio?

John
5th time seeing them, get better every time......Did'nt play Milk though :(

lee
what an amazing band! i watched kings of leon dressed as batman, first festival i aver been to and first time i have watched kings of leon live! for those who didnt go, its your loss, absolutely made my weekend seeing them!!

phil fraser
that was just the best ever.bbc you shld play the whole set they made titp....

sean
anyone moaning bout the coverage should have gone, get over it guys

David
Pretty poor Coverage to be honest, if you decide to show the other two headlining acts live on TV, then why do you not show the third headlining act live?

collette
They made t in the park for me this year , luv them luv them

Johnny
Kings of Leon have sold their soul

Keith Bell
Ive seen this band at lincon,doncaster and sheffield from the start and have heard them evolve to what they are now, and that is one of the all time greats - they will be remembered! Im looking forward to their next album full of rock / bluesy numbers keep em coming KOL!PS - Good comment D MacGregor

louise walker
fab fab fab, took me back to when i saw them in june at men

johnny,fife
first titp, first kings of leon, great to hear their old stuff as it tops there new album by far, come back soon they were AMAZING!!!!

Mark
KOL were AWESOME!

Aimee Aberfeldy
I LOVE the Kings of Leon and they were amazing AGAIN at T in the P roll on next year!!

Vicki
Absoultly AMAZING, Iv watched them twice in concert ad evry time they blow me away!!!! Gutted I didnt get to see more of them on TV, should have done full coverage as with the Killers! x

CORY
They were the headliners but i didn't even see much coverage of them on television. BBC you have let me down.p.s Best band ever =)

Meh
I saw them at o2, they were amazing. This is pretty damn...wow. I missed the Friday night stuff, cos Im stupid, but oh my god. Not enough Jared though! He's the best looking, show him more please!

Alex
I stayed up all night to watch the kings of leon of which they only showed 5 songs although they were the HEADLINE act!

Sam
anyone else a bit disappointed that they seem to play most of their songs slower than usual?

Sierra
I seen KOL in the m.e.n last month and I totally think they are the best band around, amazing live, old songs and new. Unfortunately the sound at TITP let them down which was a shame, I was there and during their set the sound was pretty awful. Did notice that the only time the crowd got going was during Sex on Fire!!! Bad sound or not my night was made when they played taper jean girl!!!

Stacey
Weres sex is on fire like? the crowd was louder than them !! Loved it

sonia
they were simply amazing! i wish i could do i all again :(

Tm
what a performance at this years T! the guys are that good its hard to believe they're live!! 10 out of 10 kings! i'v officially been charmed

Daniel K
they wer rotten live, the most disapointing, boring act i saw all weekend!!

L1
Where's the guitar smash up from the end? Loved KOL this year at T, just wanted to relive the end of the set and yet it doesn't seem to be covered?

Scott
Great performance despite some sounds problems, like all the bands on friday on main stage had. Crowd was really disappointing. I was quite near the front and going mental for Black Thumbnail and Slow Night So Long etc. Everyone else was just standing there waiting for Sex On Fire and Use Somebody. So annoying

Acedogg Reeferchief
Haha Charmer, it's just like a Pixies song, KOL are awesome

clairecoolconner
wasnt there for the first time in 10years and have just watched highlights - i love kol but why is mollys chambers so slowed down?????

Debbie
Absolute disgrace full set was not shown live on friday in England.Saw them at O2 amazing lets hope reading/leeds coverage is better.


Can't wait for there new album I read a while ago that there going for a more bluesy sound with the new one, which I think would suit them.

Brian & Caroline
Most amazin band ever, place was rockin :)

bob geldof
highlight of the entire weekend.

Bonita
Gutted it wasn't on BBC3 on Friday night as they are the greatest band in the world! Saw them at Manchester and can't wait to see them again.

Scott
Absolutely loved seeing the kings at TITP once more, just gutted to come back wanting to watch the show over only to find we are treated find be treated to such a small sample. Com'on beeb there is more more to music than just glastonbury!!

Eric
kings of leon were amazing,first time i've seen them at titp and i wasn't diassapointed

linda g.
why did we not get to see the whole of the KOLs peformance!

Emma
Excellent band, best live act i have seen. Pity your coverage couldn't reflect the full, amazing set to KOL fans and it's BBC audience! Very disappointed, especially as they were a headlining act at the festival.

muts
just back from t, absolutely amazin, still got goose bumps from the kings performance, quality

Alison (Cupar, Fife)
Absolutely amazing!

Michelle
KOL were totally amazing as usual!! BBC - you really should of showed more!!

Kieran
5 songs? honestly BBC get some more up. they were awesome!!!

Catrionaaaa
Amazing amazing amazing. Easily the best show I've been to :) Wish I could watch the full set back though, they did so many brilliant songs.

ryan
cant belive bbc did not show these guys live.... they r awsome

pat
wow simpley the best

Tara - Kingette
What a disgrace!! .... discusting coverage of the best band in the world!!! HUGE DISAPOINTMENT!!!

mick
was there so dont know about the tv coverage but the kings were the kings off titp 09 fact . someone sayed the didnt play on call wich they did about the only song the didnt play off the new album was revelry . it was a good set and they mixed it up a bit some newer fans only kno w whats on the new album but they also played old ones like mollys chambers on call fans the bucket milk and i am they finished with four kicks

smoggie foster
the worlds best band they should of had the uninterupted coverage as much as i love the killers kings of leon are in a different league

barkingmaddy
Why did the BBC choose not to show the Kings of Leon performance on normal BBC? If you can show the whole of The Killers set, why not the whole of KoL set??? I am lost for words.

Bradley revill
kings of leon kick ass !!!! they are theee best band i'v been listning to them for about 4 years and i'v still not met a match to them! great performance guys and come to scotland more often! kings of leon rock!

John Brown
Great show and (Its Magic) ad its our wee T in the park

midge
yes why didnt we get to see the whole set also i stayed tuned all friday to bbc 3 just to watch kings of leon an when they were due to come on the coverage stopped and went to sky channel 971 i dont have sky bbc wots goin on sort it out seriously the best band of the weekend and the bbc choose not to televise it omg

Claire Wilson
AMAZING!!! My first time seeing KOL. Loved the fact they played some older stuff! Hurry back to Bonnie Scotland - we love you xxx

Razzle
Saw them at the M.E.N arena in june they were phenominal best group ive seen live,so many people jumping on the band wagon now though with OBTN all most of the crowd new was sex on fire.

hannah
excited for leeds festival now :)hope the crowd dont just sing sex on fire and use somebody though.. that'd disappoint me

D MacGregor
Kings of Leon are an awesome band, but dont start complainin that they aint still the same as they used to be. Every band evolves, it's natural, whats important is that they are still brilliant. And so what if the only song most people sing along to is Sex on Fire, the popularity of that song will make people listen to the rest of the bands work and buy their albums so surely that is a good thing. Awesome band, FACT.

Sam J
Amazing songs it is such a shame that we don't get to see the full set.

Stinky Gypo
Can't believe you only showed a small amount of the set, shame on you bbc I player, get more on pls.

Jonny B
Best band of the weekend, and probably the best band around at the moment and yet less coverage than idlewild. That makes sense.

adam v
wat r u guys talking about theyre as good as ever ,so the album is a little diffrent change is good stops things getting boring

lyndab
You should have played the full set they were a headline act after all.

Shaz J
Was there amongst it all, the atmosphere was electric, best band by far, KOL rock x

michael- duntocher
just back. kol outstanding. best buzz ever being down the front on that beutiful sunny day. wish i could go back to be in that moment again.

Joel Green
I've been a fan of theirs since the first album and now they are on their fourth they are still the best band on the planet !! Rock On Kings Of Leon.. I didn't get sex on fire and be somebody tattooed on my arms for no reason !!!

peter
sorry to much hype big disapointment

marie connolly
what happened bbc to covering the headlining act kings of leon and showing highlights.who on earth made this mistake. kol have just toured and were brilliant and fans in england are being let down by the bbc. headliners for a reason bbc listen please

paul
why have they gone all soppy, speed you songs back up !!!!!

andy
where is the rest of the set? 16 minutes.... are you being serious?

s glover
k.o.l rule

christine
I love the KOL and saw them this year at the london's o2 arena. Shame on you BBC tv for not showing us their set as they are the best and Jared is hot as. xxxx

sophie
i wish they still did milk and four kicks amazing at reading 2007 but they have become too commercialized

Henry
They were great live at T in the park. All the songs thye played were great and loads of people joined in well worth the big push.

annie
looked great!! but wished it was on Tellyylove you KOL...X

J
I love the KOL and am very disappointed that the BBC only showed 5 songs considering they were the 'Headline' act for Friday night! come on BBC where's the rest????!!

Katie
KOL were amazing!! I was in the crowd and it was such a brilliant experience! Wish the whole set was on here though so i could relive the whole experience instead of only part of it.

Ollie
So disappointed with BBC 3 coverage, franz F were the warm up act!!! we saw more of them than the headlining kings!!! pity you didnt show them the same respect as you did to the killers on the next night! I was looking forward to an un-interupted set and didnt get it! Kings of leon are an amazing live band and felt you let the fans down.

Ailsa
4 Songs?4 Songs Is All We Get?Come On BBC.Get All The Songs Up!!!

Nicky
Love K.O.L - brill performance! I don't understand why people critisize them for changing their sound, if every album was the same they'd be critisized for that too!

cath
I love KOL!!! but 6 songs from their whole set on bbc scotland when they are a headline act, wtf!!!! disapointing or what! but from the very few songs i saw, they sounded and looked amazing as per!

Syl
I don't understand why BBC only makes it possible for Britain to see videos.. pfff.. Wanted to see KOL. Goddamn! Greetzz from the Netherlands

freya
i do respect kol but i do think they are overrated ever since sex on fire came out

alisha
show the rest of the set! it was amazing...ppl want to see it!

Sally
KOL are such an amazing band live, I wish they'd shown more of the set.

kyle
yet again knocked up isnt here!!!!

Mel
KOL are the greatest band around, gutted the BBC didn't show their full set. Saw them in London in June & was blown away, they are truly amazing live!

Andy C
Can people stop banging on about how the last album isn't as good as the first 3 albums. Of course it is... really annoys me. World domination

Boozer
My m8 Smeggs has been Blowing thier trumpet for years, i can see why , A Class act!

Franco Begbie (Barlinnie)
Best band on the planet at this time!!!!

Priya
I am very very very disappointed that the Kings Of Leon did not for whatever reason receive the same coverage that The Killers had on BBC 3. It would have been amazing to have seen them as I could not go to the festival. Could somebody please explain, or even better show the full Kings of Leon set on TV.

nat
good work boys as always!

london
kol know what great music is all about! bbc need to give the fans what they want - more!

jessie
Cannot understand why their full set wasn't aired, but what was shown proves that the kings are amazing live

Laurie
so annoying not shown on tv.. love it

Liz
Watched the KOL set on TV on Friday night - Sex On Fire is my favourite song which they did last night, so why not show it on here? It was the highlight of the set

kingy
always reliable live performers, at their best

Cat
This is great - where's the rest of the set?!

Yasmin
IT WAS EPIC!!!!!!

Sami
Absolutley brill did'nt disappoint shame you could'nt show it all KOL Best group ever :)

Josie Dee
Bad coverage of the KOL.. WHEN ARE THEY ON BBC?

Viv
Much better now that I'm watching them on BBC3 Multiscreen - and not before time :-)

hannah
the so-called 6 minute long "part 2" doesn't make up for it. put up the whole set, they're the best band at the festival adn the band that have been played the least.

brettster
OH YEAH!!! jus too good!!

Gareth
It's a shame that the BBC chose not to show this in England. I wish KOL would play The Bucket and Molly's Chambers faster, like the used to...

gavin newbold
these lads are brill

Mark Daniels
Down hill since there new album. I do still love KOL but they are nothing on what they used to be, this time last year before OBTN they were absolutley amazing. Glastonbury 08 they were awesome. However the style has changed with the new album which is no where near as good as there first three albums. The huge success has changed them, and the fans in the audience are not what they used to be, the only song they sang along to was 'Sex on Fire'. I still love them tho

Grubber
What a band - shame so many people like them now-a-days you cant get a ticket for all the tea in china! Good performance, great tracks.

Big Al - Redcar
Saw them at Manchester they are Fantastic live !!

Natalie
They are the best live band around, love them but gutted they didn't play On Call

c

Heather White
WH DIDN'T BCC3 SHOW THIS IN ENGLAND! HAD TO WATCH IT ON THE NET. SOOOO UNFAIR! KOL RULE!

rosie
I was there and they were great but could you show more please! 10 mins isn't enough.

Emma
I would have enjoyed Kings of Leon's performance if we'd been shown more of it! 6 songs interrupted by The View and Nick Cvae, and people maing rude comments about KOL, not appreciated BBC!!!!

CeeBee
Brilliant - but want to see more than three tracks pleeeease

John Hamilton
By far Friday's best act. Outstanding.

gareth sanderson
fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

taylor
kings of Leon are great

Ange
I can't believe that KoL got half the coverage that Franz Ferdinand got, is there a reason that their full set wasn't shown?

Alan Green(Greenock,Scotland)
Watched this on telly last night and the "Kings" showed why they're the best rock band at the moment. Now i'm watch'n again on I-player in the back garden, hope the weather stays good 4 every1 at T in the Park.

Jolene
