The Killers announce 2023 UK and Ireland shows, including Reading Festival and first Edinburgh show

‘Somebody Told Me’ band have announced four shows in UK and Ireland next summer

The Killers have announced a number of UK and Ireland tour dates for summer 2023, including their first ever Edinburgh show.

On Friday (9 December), it was announced that the “Mr Brightside” rockers will play four gigs across the UK and Ireland next summer.

The band will headline Reading and Leeds Festival, playing Reading on Saturday (26 August) and Leeds on Sunday (27 August)

It marks the first time The Killers have headlined the festival since 2008.

On 3 September, The Killers will also headline Electric Picnic Festival in Stradbally, Ireland.

The band will play two solo shows around the same time. One will be at the Royal Highland Centre Showgrounds in Edinburgh for their first ever show in Edinburgh.

The Killers will play a second solo concert at Boucher Road Playing Feels in Belfast on 1 September.

The 2023 dates follow last summer’s sold out stadium tour, which saw The Killers play to 400,000 fans at shows including two nights at London’s Emirates Stadium.
