The Killers have announced a special warm-up show set to take place before their upcoming UK stadium tour.
The iconic Las Vegas rock group will be heading to Sheffield’s O2 Academy in South Yorkshire to entertain fans, before heading off around the UK.
The chart-topping group are known for hits like When You Were Young, Mr Brightside and Human, and have headlined some of the biggest stadiums going – from Madison Square Garden to Wembley – so it’s amazing to get the chance to see them at some comparatively intimate venues, like Sheffield’s O2 Academy.
Elsewhere they’re set to appear at several UK football grounds including St Mary’s in Southampton and Carrow Road in Norwich, both homes to Premier League football teams.
The band have released seven studio albums to date, several of which have gone platinum. They’re known for their off-beat alt-rock stylings, catchy lyrics and frontman Brandon Flowers, who has also released two albums as a solo artist.
So, if you’re interested in seeing The Killers live in the UK in 2022, then take a look at the tour dates below or read on for the latest info on pricing and availability.
