Tickets for next summer’s headline gig at the Liberty Stadium by the Killers go on sale at 9.30am on Friday morning.
The Las Vegas-born group, who last week concluded an extensive, sold-out UK tour with two euphoric shows at London’s O2 Arena, will play Swansea’s Liberty Stadium on Saturday 23rd June and Macron Stadium in Bolton on Friday 13th July 2018.
Tickets will be available after 9.30am on Friday from this link as well as www.ticketmaster.co.uk and www.gigsandtours.com.
The Summer 2018 shows will be The Killers’ first stadium dates since they headlined a sold out Wembley Stadium in June 2013. The shows come in addition to the band’s headline slot at Isle Of Wight Festival, announced earlier this week.
Since the release of their 2004 debut, Hot Fuss, with its now-classic breakthrough singles Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me, The Killers have gone on to sell 25 million albums, win countless Grammy, Brit, Q, NME nominations and awards and headline stadia and festivals around the world.
The Las Vegas band’s superb new LP, Wonderful Wonderful, was released in September 2017 and saw the group achieve a record breaking fifth consecutive UK Number One (a seventh for frontman Brandon Flowers, who also has two #1 solo albums to his name), also topping the charts in the U.S for the first time. The Killers’ career-spanning live set draws from an enviable back catalogue that also boasts such hits as When You Were Young, Human, Read My Mind, Runaways, The Man and Run For Cover.
The new comes following last week’s announcement that Little Mix, the world’s biggest girl band, will play the Liberty next July, following the likes of Rod Stewart, Kings of Leon, Pink, Elton John and Take That in stopping off at the home of the Ospreys and Swans.
