After rocking Slane Castle to its foundations only a few weeks ago, the Kings of Leon will be taking to the silver screen in Castlebar on June 25. Mayo Movie World will show Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon, a unique insight into one of the biggest bands on the planet. Now a global phenomenon, the film charts their humble beginnings in the deep South, from struggling with the grasp of God and the pleasures of the Devil through alcohol, recreational drugs, and most importantly, the rock n' roll that would make them superstars, to signing a record deal and selling out stadiums worldwide. Featuring interviews with the full band – Caleb, Nathan, Jared, and Matthew Followill, plus exclusive footage of other family members and influential figures in the band's lives and career, this is the first time their tremendous journey has been documented. Talihina Sky is the definitive story of the Kings of Leon, told in their own words. The film will be followed by a live via satellite Q&A with the band from the Edinburgh film festival. The screening kicks off at 8.30pm on June 25 and tickets are available from www.mayomovieworld.ie and from the box office.
