“The Killers are the pinnacle of live music performances and should be seen for both the spectacle and showmanship of the band.” – The Advertiser

THE KILLERS recently 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 Bridgers). 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.

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.
