Frank Erwin Center | Press Releases

AUSTIN, TEXAS – The Killers will be performing live at The Theatre at the Frank Erwin Center on February 3. The Las Vegas band’s tour will coincide with their upcoming album, Day & Age, scheduled for release November 25.

After the release of their debut album Hot Fuss in 2004, the Killers began touring outside of Las Vegas. Their first stop was the UK, where they caught the ears of the veteran fans of the bands they were influenced by, like Oasis. The Killers quickly signed with the UK label Lizard King and their shows started selling out all over London. Hot Fuss has been classified 4x Platinum by the BPI and 3x Platinum by RIAA. The Killers also had chart success with their singles “Mr. Brightside,” which shot to the Top 10 in the UK and US, and “All These Things That I’ve Done.” Mainstream success came when they re-released “Somebody Told Me,” which steadily climbed the Billboard 100 charts and hit No. 3 in the UK.

To record their third studio album Day & Age, The Killers enlisted the help of producer Stuart Price, a prominent name in the music business famous for working with artists like Madonna, Seal, and Missy Elliot. In an early review of the album, MusicRadar said "Day & Age isn't just The Killers' best album. It's one of the best records of 2008."
