HOMO/LUMO are Molecular Orbitals and the energy of them can in principle be calculated exactly, including all particle interactions. Band theory uses approximations based on the periodicity of the lattice in extended systems, and ignores many contributions to the specific energy of individual particles, such as electrons/holes upon optical excitation, requiring corrections to describe such "excitons".
