AMERICAN rockers Kings of Leon have been confirmed as the headline act at the Slane Castle concert next summer. The band will play Meath venue on May 28 next year, some 30 years after Irish band Thin Lizzy headlined the very first concert at the venue in 1981.

Freddie Kanoute has denied he is ready to turn his back on West Ham and join Fulham.

Frederic Kanoute hopes to return on October 19 as his groin injury is not as serious as first appeared.
