The Killers

[Vogue]

I know they're hiatus, and I certainly didn't expect to see them back so soon.

I've watched an interview between Zane Lowe and Brandon from a few days ago, it ends with Brandon saying something along these lines- "I don't know where we'll be come festival season but I hope that we've already been writing songs"

ZL: "So that means the conversations have been had?"

It's more clear in the video...

I could be wrong, but to me, that gives the impression that The Killers will be making festival appearances next year. Just some interesting news that I thought I'd share.

They really do need to take a bigger break imo

Since 2007, they've headlined Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, V fest twice and T in the Park twice as well as touring, so there's really not much demand for them

I think they could be potential Glasto 2013 headliners though

[adustlandfairytale]

I tell ye! They'll be at T in the Park in the next 2 years but didn't he say he wouldn't play Glastonbury again because they headlined it and there was no where else to go from there?

I think they may fall down the pecking orders in festivals. Since Hot Fuss they have massively downhill. The last album was very poor. I think they have peaked already

[alframsey]

i totally agree, but they have became very radio friendly which will keep them up the top for a while

unless their next album is a commercial flop this is where they will stay

i gather day and age was quite succesful, although it was simply boring and quite rubbish!

[Big Vern]

Maybe Brandon as a solo artist might appear during the day, but not The Killers I'm sure.

[Badlands]

A band who have a habit of releasing albums which have a brilliant first half and an awful second. That first solo single was shit as well.

No chance they'll play next year I reckon.

[LondonTom]

I can't see it unless they have a new album out, I think they will wait. Brandon has his whole solo thing for a bit, so it give the actual band a nice break.

I quite like Day & Age actually, my fav album is Sawdust, terrific album and what there 2nd studio album should have been really

[Rhymenoceros]

I really really really hope they don't play.

I have been to 4 festivals in the past when The Killers have headlined and, as much as anyone would say "oh just go and see someone else instead of pissing moaning about it" (I would ordinarily be one of those people) I just really don't think they're all that and would probably not settle for anything less than headline after they did it in 2007.

Give the slot to someone like Elbow, who, in my eyes, deserve their chance.

Plus their guitarist seems like a massive tool.

Just get Brandon playing, same thing really.
