The Killers on Friday 6 July at Rock Werchter

Special news report! The Killers are confirmed for Rock Werchter 2018 - the Las Vegas group will headline the festival on Friday 6 July ! Bursting onto the worldwide music scene in 2004, The Killers were put firmly on the map with their now-classic debut album, 'Hot Fuss’, released to huge acclaim and success. The band, who have gone on to sell over twenty-five million albums worldwide, released their newest studio album "Wonderful Wonderful" in September 2017, a comeback that has seen them achieve a record-breaking fifth consecutive number 1 album in the UK. Led by their charismatic frontman Brandon Flowers, The Killers are sure to bring something very special to the festival, with a career-spanning headline set picked from an enviable back catalogue that includes Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me, When You Were Young, Human and most recent hits, The Man and Run For Cover. Early March, The Killers will play a virtually sold out Sportpaleis in Antwerp. On Friday 6 July they headline Rock Werchter. Having previously played the festival in 2007 and 2009, it’s high time for them to return to Rock Werchter.
