AEG Live is thrilled to announce THE KILLERS live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre Wednesday, September 9, 2009.

The Killers are an American alternative rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2002. The band belongs to the lineage of high-energy rock bands that manage to be both commercially successful and critically acclaimed. The band consists of Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitar, vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (percussion, drums). Flowers first met guitarist Keuning while perusing the classifieds for fellow musicians; when Dave’s ad mentioned The Beatles, Oasis and more, Flowers knew he was on the right track. They claimed the name The Killers (taken from the bass drum of a fictional band in a New Order video), and eventually recruited Stoermer and Vannucci into the fold, all of them agreeing that there seemed to be an intangible something to the music they were making, as well as the response they were generating from people who saw them play. And as these performances became bigger and bigger, praise for the band began to spread rapidly.

Their debut, Hot Fuss, catapulted them onto the global stage selling millions of copies around the world. The band toured for two years straight behind Hot Fuss, playing more than four-hundred shows, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin to work on the follow-up album. The result, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled Sam’s Town, was released in 2006 and spent forty-two weeks on the Billboard Top 200. They also release the compilation album Sawdust containing B-sides, rarities, and new material in 2007. Inspiration has never eluded Las Vegas’ The Killers, and it’s a damn good thing it hasn’t, because their third studio album entitled Day & Age, released in November of 2008, is full of their finest songs to date.
