You wanted an arena tour from The Killers, and they're giving you on this November.

The Las Vegas collective will stop off at 11 UK & Irish cities for a total of 12 shows, with London getting a duo of gigs at the O2 Arena. Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle are just a sample of the cities The Killers will visit on their winter 2017 stint, which begins on Monday November 6 in Birmingham.

The tour is in support of the group's fifth studio album Wonderful Wonderful, which is scheduled for release prior to the tour beginning. It follows their four previous Number 1 studio albums Hot Fuss, Sam's Town, Day & Age and Battle Born.
