During the live performance at the Pinkpop Festival on May 29, 2011, Kings of Leon was riding high on the success of their fifth studio album, "Come Around Sundown," which had been released the previous year, on October 18, 2010. This album marked a significant point in their career, as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and solidified their status as a leading band in the rock genre. Notably, the band had successfully transitioned from their earlier Southern rock roots to a more mainstream rock sound, appealing to a broader audience. The performance of "Pyro," one of the standout tracks from "Come Around Sundown," exemplifies their blend of alternative rock and Southern influences, which resonates strongly in a live setting. Following the festival, Kings of Leon continued to expand their global presence, solidifying their reputation with memorable performances and chart-topping releases.
