The Killers to rock out the summer in Camden
The summer just got a little more fun as The Killers have announced a 20th anniversary tour.
The Las Vegas-based band will bring its version of fun rock ‘n’ roll to the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, N.J., Sept. 7. Tickets are available at https://www.livenation.com/artist/K8vZ9175PMf/the-killers-events.
The four-piece group formed in 2002, featuring the talents of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vannucci, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has received countless accolades, including Grammy and American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, NME Awards and more.
Their first album, “Hot Fuss,” was released in 2004 to worldwide acclaim. The album contained the singles “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me” in addition to the anthemic “All These Things That I’ve Done,” which has since been referenced by the likes of U2.
The band toured for two years straight behind their debut album, playing more than 400 shows, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin work on the follow-up album with producers Alan Moulder and Flood. The result, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled “Sam’s Town,” was released in 2006 and spent 42 weeks on the Billboard Top 200. A B-sides collection titled “Sawdust” was released in 2007, followed by their third studio album, “Day & Age,” which was released to widespread critical praise in 2008, anchored by the massive single “Human.”
In 2012 the Killers released “Battle Born,” which saw them expanding their world tour into countries they’d never visited before and were honored to perform at the world-renowned Wembley Stadium, one of the most monumental and significant shows of their career. After a decade of making music, in November 2013, The Killers released the compilation “Direct Hits,” which featured two incredible new songs alongside classics from the band’s revered catalog.
The band, which has sold over 25 million albums worldwide and headlined the world’s top festivals — Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury — released their chart-topping album “Wonderful Wonderful” in 2017. It garnered them their first No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart the week of its release in the U.S. as well as topping the charts in the U.K., Mexico, and Australia. In 2020, The Killers released “Imploding The Mirage,” hailed by critics as one of the group’s best records.
In 2021, the Killers released “Pressure Machine,” a quieter, character-driven document of life in small-town America inspired by frontman Flowers’ upbringing in rural Utah. In 2022, they embarked on their largest, sold out tour to date, playing stadiums in North America and beyond.
In late 2023, the group released “Rebel Diamonds,” a curated dive into an impressive catalog of songwriting and musicianship. The album of highlights features 20 tracks, including “Mr. Brightside” along with classics “When You Were Young,” “All These Things That I’ve Done,” “Human,” “Read My Mind” and more. They’ve announced a special Las Vegas residency for this summer, performing the “Hot Fuss” album in full for the first time to commemorate its 20-year anniversary.
