"The Kings are back in business," bassist Jared Followill Tweeted following the performance. "Business is good. Really good. Vancouver got me all warm and fuzzy."

After Wednesday night's set, drummer Nathan Followill Tweeted: "Wow Vancouver. What an amazing crowd Thanks 4 the love. Felt so good 2 be back on stage..."
