The Killers Expand 'Rebel Diamonds' & 'Hot Fuss' Australian Tour

It comes as no surprise that demand to see The Killers this November and December is huge. However, demand for the pre-sale that opened yesterday was so phenomenal that tour promoters Frontier Touring announced a third and final show in Melbourne.

The Killers will now play at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Thursday, 12 December, Friday, 13 December, and the additional date of Saturday, 14 December.

As The Music reported earlier this week, the shows on this tour are either a Greatest Hits set (named after the band’s Greatest Hits album, Rebel Diamonds) or a celebration of their beloved debut album, Hot Fuss, which they’ll play in its entirety as well as some extra songs. The extra Melbourne date is a second Rebel Diamonds show.

Pre-sale tickets for The Killers’ upcoming tour are still available, with Frontier Touring noting that pre-sale availability for the first two Melbourne shows is limited. The general sale opens tomorrow (12 September) at 4 pm local time – you can find all the ticketing information you need here.

Catching the band live in Brisbane in late 2022, The Music reviewer Roshan Clerke compared the grandiosity and yearning of the band’s live show to a famous figure from New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen, who The Killers have always looked up to.

Clerke also praised the band’s “celestial rock and roll,” which is how frontman Brandon Flowers described the band’s newest tunes. You can read The Music’s live review here.

Last year, Australian singer Meg Washington surprise-released a Hot Fuss cover album, putting a minimalist spin on The Killers classics, including Somebody Told Me and Mr Brightside.
