The Killers announce outdoor shows on huge 2022 Australia tour

Is there anything more perfect than shouting along to The Killers in the sunshine?

Get your dancing shoes ready because American rockers The Killers are heading our way in 2022.

The November and December tour dates will be The Killers’ first time back on our shores since their 2018 Australasian tour, which included ten sold-out arena shows. But the band did give us a little taste about what we can expect from the tour when they headlined Splendour In The Grass’s virtual festival, Splendour XR earlier this year.

As well as playing arenas in major capital cities, they will also perform two unforgettable a day on the green shows alongside an outdoor show at some of Australia’s most beautiful wineries.

Talk about the perfect way to experience The Killers’ incredible catalogue of hits.

The Killers will tour our shores as part of their 2022 Imploding The Mirage World Tour, which will see the band playing headline shows and festivals across the globe in celebration of their sixth album, the ARIA #1  Imploding The Mirage .

Earlier this year, while touring was still on hold due to the ongoing pandemic, The Killers released their seventh studio album, the quieter, character-study-driven album,  Pressure Machine .  The resulting record is an aural document of growing up, and living, in the American Southwest.

So it’s safe to say that alongside classic hits like ‘Mr Brightside’, ‘When We Were Young’, ‘Human’, ‘The Man’, and ‘Bones’, The Killers have got a stack of new music to show Australian fans.

Since bursting on to the scene in 2004 with their double platinum debut album Hot Fuss, The Killers have gone on to sell over 30 million albums worldwide and headline some of the biggest festivals and stages in the world – cementing their place in music fans hearts and playlists in every corner of the globe.

Don’t miss your chance to see The Killers perform in these special, not-to-be-missed outdoor concerts when they land on Australian shores in 2022.

The Killers will bring their new albums Imploding The Mirage and Pressure Machine to Australian stages in November and December 2022. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.com.au.

Make sure you have a My Ticketmaster account

Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance –  Ticketmaster.com.au .

Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time

Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.

Keep your options open with ‘Best Available’

Save time by searching “Best Available,” which scans all sections fast – it’s quicker than searching sections one at a time.

Keep an eye on the clock

There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as they’re progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).

Don’t refresh your screen

Stick to one window while you’re in the Waiting Room and when you’re being pushed through the Smart Queue and always resist the urge to refresh.

Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.

Remember: there are a lot of fans

We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is as popular as The Killers, sometimes they go very quickly.

Be sure to follow the above tips to ensure you have the best chance of snapping up some tickets.

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: The Killers Australian tour tickets go on general sale from Monday 15 November @ 2pm (local) via Ticketmaster.com.au.

THE KILLERS ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IMPLODING THE MIRAGE TOUR 2022 INCLUDING TWO A DAY ON THE GREEN SHOWS We’re back! After the toughest two years in a day on the green’s 21-year history, Australia’s favourite outdoor concert event is proud to announce its return with the a day on the green debut for one of the biggest live bands in the world – THE KILLERS . Roundhouse Entertainment and Frontier Touring are thrilled to welcome THE KILLERS back to Australia and New Zealand for a massive nine-date mix of arena and outdoor shows on their Imploding The Mirage Tour 2022 in November-December. Originally announced in 2020 when COVID first halted worldwide touring, this will be The Killers’ first time back on our shores since their 2018 Australasian tour which included ten completely sold-out arena shows. The tour will see THE KILLERS make their a day on the green debut with two big outdoor shows – Peter Lehmann in the Barossa Valley, SA on Saturday 3 December and Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong, VIC on Saturday 10 December, 2022. Tickets on sale Monday 15 November via adayonthegreen.com.au/thekillers THE KILLERS will play headline shows and festivals across the globe in celebration of their sixth studio album, the critically acclaimed ARIA #1 album Imploding The Mirage (out now through Island Records/Universal Music Australia). “The Killers are the pinnacle of live music performances and should be seen for both the spectacle and showmanship of the band.” – The Advertiser Earlier this year while touring was still on hold due to the pandemic, THE KILLERS released their seventh studio album, the quieter, character-study-driven Pressure Machine . It’s an aural document of growing up – and living – in the American Southwest, told from a myriad of perspectives. Pressure Machine includes Quiet Town and Runaway Horses (featuring Phoebe Bridges). The band performed album track In Another Life  on The Late Late Show with James Corden . Imploding The Mirage was self-produced by the band in partnership with musical engineer Shawn Everett (The War On Drugs, Kacey Musgraves, Beck) and Foxygen multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Rado. The album, as a whole, is heavily influenced by the likes of Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen and New Order and was a return to the Heartland Rock sounds of much-loved albums like Sam’s Town and Battle Born . The list of featured artists includes Lindsey Buckingham, k.d. lang, Weyes Blood, Adam Granduciel (War On Drugs), Blake Mills, and Lucius. “If Wonderful Wonderful was an arm around a trembling shoulder, Imploding The Mirage is a raised fist to the future. It’s the sort of attitude that could help us all endure such trying times, and The Killers’ sixth album sounds unbreakable too. They long ago reached their natural pumped-up radio rock peak, yet here sound as though they’ve been hitting the sonic steroids. The Killers have made another dazzling statement of ultra-modern pomp, and one arguably even more in step with new generations of alt-rock. It’s a musical DeLorean: rooted in mainstream Americana but speeding into adventurous horizons.” ★★★★ – NME THE KILLERS first burst onto the scene in 2004, topping Australian charts and going double platinum with debut album Hot Fuss . Featuring hit singles Mr. Brightside and Somebody Told Me , the album received instant popularity and widespread international success. Since then, the band have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, and headlined all of the world’s top festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, and received countless accolades, including multiple Grammy nominations, American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards and NME Awards. THE KILLERS have amassed more than 393 million streams and sold more than one million albums (and counting) in Australia alone! On the very same day that 2017’s Wonderful Wonderful hit #1 on the ARIA Album chart, the band took to the stage at the hallowed Melbourne Cricket Ground for the 2017 AFL Grand Final and absolutely nailed their set: “The Killers’ set has already started to be considered as one of the greatest AFL performances.” - Tone Deaf “The Killers have killed it with the crowd at the AFL Grand Final as they kicked off pre-game festivities in front of a packed MCG with a bite-size rock festival” - Herald Sun THE KILLERS are exceptionally well-loved Down Under with all ten shows on the band’s 2018 tour completely selling out.

The Killers will tour our shores as part of the Imploding The Mirage 2020 Tour, playing headline shows and festivals across the globe in celebration of their sixth studio album Imploding The Mirage (out Friday 29 May through Island Records/Universal Music Australia). 

Today’s tour news coincides with the release of lead single ‘ Caution ’, the world’s first taste of Imploding The Mirage. The track is the band’s first new material since the January 2019 release of stand-alone single ‘ Land Of The Free ’. The official ‘ Caution ’ video will be released next week.

The band’s most recent album Wonderful Wonderful (2017) peaked at #1 on both the Billboard and ARIA album charts and has amassed more than 342m+ combined streams globally to date. NME have since cited Wonderful Wonderful as the album where The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers “bares himself more than ever before” as a songwriter and further cementing this as the band’s “best album since 2006’s ‘Sam’s Town’.

The Killers return to Australia & New Zealand in November-December next year.

The Killers are heading back to Australia and New Zealand for a massive nine-date mix of arena and outdoor shows on their Imploding The Mirage Tour 2022 in November-December.

Kicking off at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Monday 21 November, the band will take to Christchurch Arena on Friday 25 November, before visiting Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 29 November, Perth’s RAC Arena on Tuesday 6 December, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday 13 December, Hunter Valley’s Hope Estate on Saturday 17 December for an outdoor performance before wrapping up at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Monday 19 December.

The band will also be making their  a day on the green debut, performing two big outdoor shows at Peter Lehmann in the Barossa Valley, SA on Saturday 3 December, and Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong, VIC on Saturday 10 December 2022.

Originally announced in 2020  in support of their critically acclaimed ARIA #1 album  Imploding The Mirage  but then cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, this will be The Killers’ first time back on our shores since their 2018 Australasian tour which included ten completely sold-out arena shows.

What you need to know

  • The Killers  return to Australia & New Zealand in November-December 2022
  • The 9-date  Imploding  The Mirage Tour 2022 will play arenas and outdoor shows across Auckland, Barossa Valley, Brisbane, Christchurch , Geelong, Hunter Valley, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth
  • General Public tickets for all shows on sale Monday 15 November

Keep up with the latest music interviews, news and reviews  here .

Released back in May 2020, their sixth album  Imploding The Mirage  features a huge spread of collaborations with artists including Lindsey Buckingham, kd lang, Weyes Blood Adam Granduciel (War On Drugs), Blake Mills and Lucius. Drawing from influence ranging from Kate Bush to Peter Gabriel, the album sees The Killers exploring a new sonic direction. Having moved from their hometown in Las Vegas before writing and recording the album,  Imploding The Mirage  leaves behind the grit of the band’s Nevada roots, pushing them out of their comfort zone.

Presented by Roundhouse Entertainment and Frontier Touring, the phenomenal live band will deliver an electric set filled with their biggest hits, non-single fan favourites and choice cuts from  Imploding The Mirage,  and perhaps even a few cuts from their seventh studio album, the quieter, character-study-driven  Pressure Machine . Released earlier this year while touring was still on hold due to the pandemic,  Pressure Machine  is an aural document of growing up – and living – in the American Southwest, told from a myriad of perspectives.

Since first bursting onto the scene in 2004, topping Australian charts and going double platinum with debut album  Hot Fuss ,  The Killers garnered instant popularity and widespread international success with their refreshing synth-rock sound, their infectious nature and their Las Vegas blood; plus Flowers’ unique vocals. . Arguably the band’s biggest masterstroke was their sole release of bona fide earworm ‘Mr Brightside’ which went on to become song with the most weeks in the UK Singles Chart ever — clocking in at a total of 200 weeks.

Selling more than 30 million albums worldwide, and headlining all of the world’s top festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, the band have gone on to receive countless accolades, including multiple Grammy nominations, American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards and NME Awards.

On the very same day that 2017’s  Wonderful Wonderful hit #1 on the ARIA Album chart, the band took to the stage at the hallowed Melbourne Cricket Ground for the 2017 AFL Grand Final and absolutely nailed their set, delivering exuberant energy that punters can expect from their forthcoming Australian tour.

Monday 21 November 2022 – Spark Arena, Auckland, NZ

Friday 25 November 2022 – Christchurch Arena, Christchurch, NZ

The Killers Are Coming Down Under in 2022 for a Huge Arena and Winery Tour

Open up your eager eyes, Australia and New Zealand: The Killers are headed our way. With international tours starting back up again, the Las Vegas-born rockers will hit up a heap of arenas Down Under in November and December 2022 — and a few Aussie wineries, too, if you're keen on sipping vino while singing along to 'Mr Brightside'.

Destiny is calling you to shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Melbourne in Australia, plus winery gigs in the Barossa Valley, Geelong and the Hunter Valley, with most of the latter taking place as part of next year's A Day on the Green tour. In NZ, you'll be doing just fine at Auckland and Christchurch concerts — and no, there won't be any sick lullabies to swim through.

Given the band's lengthy back catalogue, Brandon Flowers and company won't just be playing 'Mr Brightside' on repeat, but will be making a hot fuss over plenty of their hits — including tracks from their 2020 album Imploding the Mirage . The tour is named after that record, even though they released another one, Pressure Machine , this year. That's what happens when live gigs get put on hold during a pandemic, clearly.

Remember: somebody told you that you'll be dancing along to 'Somebody Told Me', 'Smile Like You Mean It', 'When You Were Young', 'Bones', 'Human' and 'The Man' as well.

While the Aussie leg of The Killers' 2022 tour includes plenty of outdoor venues, the timing means that they won't be repeating their AFL Grand Final berth after stealing the show back in 2017.

[Review] The Killers @ Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne 13/12/2022

Post Image

It wasn’t quite the summers night we were expecting but the fans turned out in force united by their love of music. The wait had been long, four very long years in fact, but the time had arrived, and The Killers were playing in Melbourne for the first of two capacity shows at Rod Laver Arena on their Imploding The Mirage tour. Hot off the back of their open-air show at Mt Duneed Estate Geelong which wrapped up to rave reviews, I was keen to see what all the fuss was about. Plenty had turned out early to nab a prime position, myself included, and I was thankful I did, as the crowd started packing in swiftly behind me.

Opening the coveted support slot was Alex Cameron who was looking the goods in his three-piece suit and definitely gave off the Brian Ferry vibes. Strutting through a 45 minute set he kept the fans entertained with lots of cheeky banter, endlessly reminding us of this sax player and business partner Roy Molloy and his backing vocalist/keyboard player Jess Parsons . He was shown plenty of appreciation from the ever-expanding crowd as he belted out songs such as Miami Memory and Sarah Jo. A terrific addition that had RLA singing along was a cheeky cover of Island’s In The Stream which was very well received. Having co-wrote quite a few tracks with The Killers he was quite comfortable on stage and had plenty of fans up front singing along to his songs.

Feeling well warmed up it was time to move on to the main event, the one we were all waiting for, Las Vegas rockers The Killers ! The anticipation was building and the energy quite frenetic as the lights dropped to squeals of delight and the band filled the stage. Bursting out bringing the stage to life was vocalist Brandon Flowers was straight to it with My Own Soul’s Warning followed closely by Interlude. The stage was awash with lights, projections on the giant screens and confetti cannons turning Rod Laver into quite the spectacle as we were coated in the colourful offerings as they descended in slow motion. When You Were Young got the floor bouncing and showed just how tight The Killers are as a live band, Brandon making use of every corner of the stage as he delivered the mega hit with gusto. There was no time for chat between songs, packing in as much as they could in their allotted time, Jenny Was A Friend of Mine, Smile Like You Mean It and Shot At The Night flying out in rapid fire.

Human was coupled with intriguing videos on the big screen, covered with tiny boxes filled with dancing figures it was quite captivating.   Spaceman really hit the mark with Brandon easily making the transition from keyboard to launching off risers in a heartbeat. Engaging with the crowd on every level, and ripping out that stunning smile on autopilot, Somebody Told Me turned up the heat with red lights, smoke machines and lasers cutting a wicked picture across the stage, the energy was palpable in the arena as the floor moved as one collective group. Runaways gave us all a chance to catch our breath before we all welcomed a sing-a-long of “we can’t wait ‘til tomorrow” on repeat as Brandon told us to “think about it” it felt like a special moment and one I was glad to be a part of.

Another huge hit was Caution off the 2020 Imploding The Mirage album , this came complete with the whole rear of the stage igniting in sparklers projected out via baby smoke cannons, this was not just a feast for your eyes it was a whole banquet and we could not get a seat at the table quick enough.   All These Things That I’ve Done had all our voices primed and ready for ‘I’ve got soul, but I’m not a soldier’ which echoed back across Rod Laver as the masses didn’t miss an opportunity to be involved in this amazing spectacle as green and gold confetti exploded over us. With a speedy exit from the stage, it was time to start the chants and clapping to draw them back out, and it didn’t take long as they returned with The Man. With the arena on their feet, it was a glorious encore as the confetti cannons shot out million-dollar bills with Brandon’s picture showing he really is ‘The Man’ and of course I pocketed a few for prosperity’s sake. Bling (Confession of a King) from Sam’s Town was next up then the one we had all been waiting for Mr Brightside . Starting with a slower remix of the song I was left wanting but not for long as they jumped into the OG radio version and boy oh boy did Rod Laver erupt. Hands in the air, punters bouncing in unison, it was the perfect end to a spectacular live show and I now see why The Killers are one of the worlds biggest bands.

If you are yet to catch The Killers DO NOT miss this opportunity there are just a few shows left on the tour, so get out and see some live music and I guarantee the memory will make you Smile Like You Mean It for years to come!

Right-o, champions. We’ve been stuck inside on and off for the past years. Now it’s time to come out of our cage and feel more than just fine.

The Killers Take Live Performance To Star Trek Proportions #REVIEW

by Paul Cashmere on December 14, 2022

The Killers have had an enormous leap in live performance in recent years with them now, dare I say, reaching that level of live greatness U2 entered around ‘Rattle and Hum’.

The credit for that driving force goes to drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr who steers this band like Spock on Star Trek. Sure, Captain Kirk gets the accolades as the frontman of the Enterprise and like in Star Trek, Vannucci’s Spock is every much as important as Brandon Flowers’ Kirk.

The Killers is a “sum of the parts” band. In showcasing the importance of Vannucci it would be remiss to ignore Dave Keuning on guitar, who despite a short absence from 2017 to 2020 creates a unique guitar force to the sound of this band. Likewise with bass player Mark Stoermer supplying the other half of the rhythm section with Vannucci, we do still have all four origins of this band working as one. And that’s why it works so well.

Ronnie Vannucci Jr Photo © 2022 Chris Phelps www.chrisphelps.com Imploding the Mirage Tour 2022 Rod Laver Arena - Melbourne, Australia 12.13.22.

The greatness from the Killers’ song come from all those obvious elements forgotten in pop today. A great melody with a hook, a key change and an instrument middle section allows every song to take the audience on an exciting journey to an exotic destination. The reason The Killers songs work is the exact same reason why pop hits today don’t. Because The Killers maintain the diversity of the song while pop today is an extended 30 second jingle. The Killers are an actual rock band who I could imagine 20 years from now being what U2 were at their peak and potentially one of the great stadium acts of the 2040s. (In 2043 Brandon Flowers will be as old as Bono is today).

It is no wonder The Killers transcend generations of both fans and contemporaries. Bruce Springsteen, Elton John and Lindsay Buckingham can easily collaborate with this band because they are all cut from the same cloth. The Killers have never been shy of acknowledging their influences or their heroes just as their heroes happily talk about those who inspired them.

And all that goes into the pot to brew up a great show. The Killers are not a great band by accident. They studied the best and have never tried to reinvent the wheel, just improve it.

The Rod Laver Arena show setlist in Melbourne summarised the best of the best of The Killers, spanning the 18 years from 2004’s ‘Hot Fuss’ to 2022’s new song ‘Boy’. The songs are anthemic which for 12,000 plus fans is all that is needed for unity. While the audience demographic was top heavy in early 40s, there was spattering of youth brought along by 30something parents who had been into this band for more than half their life. There was also a good chunk of 50+, an audience who appreciates real music and finds it in a band like The Killers.

The Killers at O2 Arena London: timings, set list and everything you need to know

The Las Vegas rock band’s Rebel Diamonds tour is in the capital for six massive shows

Ed Cunningham

Few bands are loved in the UK quite like the Killers. You only have to watch the band’s rendition of ‘Mr Brightside’ at Reading Festival last year to gauge just how much Brits adore them: needless to say, a Killers show in the UK is a proper event.

The Killers are currently touring the UK as part of their Rebel Diamonds Tour ( which saw them play Manchester the other week ) – and now it’s London ’s turn. Brandon Flowers and the band are playing the O2 Arena for a whopping six nights over the next week or so. 

Planning on heading down to Greenwich to see smash hits like ‘Somebody Told Me’, ‘When You Were Young’ and ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’ live and in the flesh? Here’s everything you need to know about the shows, from doors to support acts. 

RECOMMENDED: AC/DC at Wembley Stadium: timings, tickets and everything you need to know .

When are The Killers playing London’s O2 Arena?

The Las Vegas rockers’ shows are on July 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 .

What time will The Killers come on stage?

Expect the band to come on at around 9pm every night. However, on July 7 the Killers may take to the stage earlier (at around 8.30pm) due to the O2 having an earlier curfew on Sunday. 

What time do doors open?

Doors open at 6.30pm for every show, apart from on July 7 when they open at 6pm. 

Has the setlist been confirmed for the show?

There’s no confirmed setlist. For an idea of what the Killers will play, however, this was their setlist in Glasgow last week (according to Setlist.fm )

  • Mr Brightside
  • Shot at the Night
  • Run for Cover
  • Jenny Was a Friend of Mine
  • Somebody Told Me

Who is supporting The Killers in London?

The Killers are being supported by Scottish rock band Travis on all London dates.

Are there any tickets left?

Ticketmaster says that all shows have ‘low availability’, though there are more tickets remaining for later dates on July 10 and 11. You can check for tickets here .

What are the band’s remaining 2024 UK dates?

There aren’t any. After their London shows, the Killers’ Rebel Diamonds Tour leaves the UK for Spain , Japan , then finally North America.

What are the reviews saying so far?

If you’re heading to the show, it’s going to be one hell of a night. The Standard gave the gig a glowing five stars, lauding the musicians for ‘giving more bang for your buck than any other modern band’, while calling Brandon Flowers ‘one of the century’s great frontmen’. Hats off to the Killers.

The Killers celebrate Independence Day and perform with fan as they kick off residency at The O2 in London

Check out what went down as the band vowed to prove why they're "a great rock 'n' roll band" as the band jammed with a fan on 'For Reasons Unknown' and covered Tom Petty while Flowers spoke of his "dirt poor" beginnings

The Killers kicked off their residency at The O2 in London last night (Thursday July 4), where they invited a fan on stage to play drums on ‘For Reasons Unknown’. Check out footage, photos, the setlist and more below.

Supported by Travis (who covered ‘Somewhere In My Heart’ with Brandon Flowers in Glasgow earlier this week and told the crowd to expect a stadium show packed into an arena from the headliners), the Las Vegas band took to the stage with an emotional opening for their first of six nights at The O2.

With a fitting speech for a tour promoting their latest greatest hits album ‘Rebel Diamonds’, Flowers spoke of the band’s rise to success through “confidence, by shouting affirmations in the mirror”

“You’ve got to give the world irrefutable proof that you are who you say you are,” he began, before their burst into the title track from second album ‘Sam’s Town’. “We’re The Killers – and we’re a great rock ‘n’ roll band. Here let me show you.”

Responding to a number of signs in the crowd, Flowers gave the audience the option of having drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr play drums on ‘For Reasons Unknown’, or to invite a fan up to get behind the kit. Going much more smoothly than it did when they did the same at Reading 2023 , this time the fan-assisted rendition went down a storm thanks to ‘Jenny from London’.

While not making reference to the UK’s General Election, he did mark the night in the US calendar. “Tonight’s a celebration,” he said at one point. “It’s July4 . Any Americans in the house? We won a war. I can’t remember who it was against. Too soon? It’s been 250 years people!”

They also covered Tom Petty’s ‘American Girl’ to mark the occasion.

Another emotional moment came at the top of the encore when Flowers spoke of his humble beginnings, growing up with “no backyard, no front yard, just dirt and sky”.

“It didn’t bother me that we didn’t have grass,” he continued. “I was six. I’d spray down the dirt with water from the hose and play in the mud for as long as they’d let me. We were literally dirt poor. But I wasn’t a minority. One day a fed-up neighbour left a dollar in our letterbox. Attached to the dollar was a sarcastic note that read, ‘This is a donation towards you getting a garden’.

“I don’t remember what I learned about the story when I was grown up and out of the house, but I do remember the way it felt when pallets of sod showed up at our house. The excitement of helping my father unload these sweet rolls of earth side by side; it was the day that my parents had finally saved enough to get actual green grass. That’s the place where I lived – it’s a place that my parents prepared for me.”

He added: “I was free from any anxiety or embarrassment. We all do that for our children in a way. It’s experiences like that, that pave the way for songs like ‘Pressure Machine’. ‘Pressure Machine’ isn’t a love song, it’s a life song.”

The encore closed with spirited renditions of ‘Human’, ‘Mr. Brightside’ and the band all performing around a piano for ‘Exitlude’.

The Killers’ setlist at The O2 was:

‘Sam’s Town’ ‘Enterlude’ ‘When You Were Young’ ‘The Way It Was’ ‘Somebody Told Me’ ‘Smile Like You Mean It’ ‘For Reasons Unknown’ ‘Dying Breed’ ‘Bling (Confession of a King)’ ‘American Girl’ (Tom Petty cover) ‘Caution’ ‘Runaways’ ‘Read My Mind’ ‘Your Side of Town’ ‘Andy, You’re a Star’ ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’ Encore: ‘Pressure Machine’ ‘Human’ ‘Mr. Brightside’ ‘Exitlude’

The new shows have also seen founding member  Dave Keuning  back in the line-up, following his  departure in 2017 to spend more time with his family . He confirmed that he wouldn’t be joining the band to tour their fifth studio album,  ‘Wonderful Wonderful’ , seven years ago, but remained a member of the group.

While he did not contribute to their follow-up LP  ‘Imploding The Mirage’ , he did  join them in the studio back in 2021 for their seventh album ‘Pressure Machine’ . He also used his time away from the touring line-up to  release solo music .

NME spoke to Brandon Flowers last year , with the frontman sharing the news of his upcoming solo album. “I’m making a solo record right now! I almost had it wrapped up,” he said. “The goal has always been to get all four original members to take ownership and be proud of what we’re doing, but it’s so difficult with all four of us living in different cities. It’s not impossible. It’s weird to be talking to you about it, but I’d definitely like to do that.”

He also reflected on the legacy of ‘Hot Fuss’ 20 years on, telling us: “[The Killers] were always little different from the other Vegas bands back then because I noticed that there was this competition and rivalry between local bands. I wasn’t thinking about them – I was thinking about The White Stripes , The Strokes , and Oasis . I didn’t allow myself to get to U2 just yet, but I asked myself, ‘What is it that these bands are doing and why are they not still in their hometown?’ That’s what set us apart quite early on.

“We were different, and we were ambitious. Ambition can be seen as an ugly thing to some people but it has served us well. We were able to persevere and it’s kind of unbelievable.”

The Killers’ ‘Rebel Diamonds’ tour continues at The O2 in London tonight (Friday July 5). Visit here for tickets, dates and more information.

In other news, The Killers previously covered The Stone Roses‘ ‘Ten Storey Love Song’ while performing in Manchester.

British nurse Lucy Letby found guilty of trying to kill premature baby girl after re-trial

Mugshot of a woman with blonde hair

Serial child killer Lucy Letby has been found guilty of attempting to murder a premature baby hours after she was born at the Countess of Chester Hospital in England.

Letby, 34, was last year convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others between 2015 and 2016.

What's next?

Letby will be sentenced on Friday, July 5.

Child serial killer Lucy Letby has been found guilty of trying to kill a premature baby girl just hours after birth.

Former neonatal nurse Letby, 34, was last year convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.

The jury failed to reach a verdict on an allegation of attempted murder of Baby K and a decision was taken to hold a re-trial.

Letby has now been found guilty of the attempted murder of Baby K on February 17, 2016, and will be sentenced on Friday, July 5.

The parents of the baby gasped and cried as the verdict was read after three and a half hours of deliberations.

Letby showed no emotion.

She is currently serving 14 whole life orders which means there is no minimum term or chance of early release.

Only three other women have received whole life orders in the UK.

In a statement read outside court by police, the family of Child K said: "Justice has been served and a nurse who should have been caring for our daughter has been found guilty of harming her.

"But this justice will not take away the extreme hurt, anger and distress that we have all had to experience."

Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Evans, who is the Deputy Senior Investigating Officer, added: "This has been a long and painful journey for the parents of Baby K — having to face continual denials and sitting through very personal and upsetting evidence in the original trial and again at the re-trial.

"Their courage, strength and resilience is absolutely remarkable.

"I would like to thank them for continuing to put their faith in us and I hope that the conclusion today provides them with some peace of mind and some of the answers they have been searching for.

"Once again, there are no winners in this case. Today is not a time for celebration — it is a time for reflection and a time for the family of Baby K.

"My thoughts — and those of the whole prosecution team — remain with them at this incredibly difficult time."

Manchester Crown Court had heard that Baby K was born at 25 weeks in the early hours of February 17, 2016.

She was transferred to the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Just hours after Baby K was born, Letby dislodged her breathing tube, the prosecution said.

A senior doctor who worked on the unit said he entered the nursery to find Letby standing over the baby's incubator.

Her blood oxygen levels were dropping, no alarm was sounding and Letby was doing nothing.

The prosecution stated that Letby had deliberately interfered with the baby's ET tube, intending to kill the newborn.

The defence argued that there was no evidence to suggest Letby had inflicted harm on Baby K — and that she had been waiting for the baby to self-correct.

The little girl was subsequently transferred out of the neonatal unit to a specialist hospital due to her extreme prematurity.

She died three days later, although it was not the prosecution case that Letby had caused her death.

After a trial spanning 10 days, the jury dismissed Letby's version of events and agreed that she was responsible for attempting to murder Baby K.

DCI Evans added: "A trained nurse responsible for caring and protecting a tiny, premature baby abused that position of trust in the most unthinkable way.

"The continued denials have caused significant upset for Baby K's family as they have had to endure a trial and subsequent re-trial. No-one should ever have to go through what they experienced."
