I would have thought they wouldn't travel to Europe twice, one at each end of the Summer. And just because V might not have booked them as an exclusive, it doesn't mean they won't play anywhere else.

NME reckon them and Timberlake are exclusives: http://www.nme.com/news/the-killers/75834.

Not that "exclusive" necessarily means anything anymore - see Latitude (and possibly now Sonisphere).

They might do they like London/The UK anyway, they came back to do that small show for the greatest hits album launch last year.

I Need to see The Killers live again soon. Would love it to be at Glasto, but can't see it somehow. I'm sure Neil would have caught a whiff if they'd been mentioned as being in the mix. Makes a trip to Vfest look tempting along with a couple of other good bookings on their lineup.

+1 for The Killers. I missed them at glasto last time and have regretted it since. its about time they came back.

Sound wasw terrible last time they played, although apparently it wasn't their fault. Something to do with the Sound Police.

Now they're doing Tennents Vital, the UK Exclusivity for VFest is a load of BS.

I've heard they're rumoured again..

Was they ever actually announced as exclusives? ...Their not listed as exclusive on many of the news stories I found, including http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/14/140303x.shtml

Means nothing in realation to Glastonbury as its the end of August...

V Festival directors Bob Angus, Simon Moran and Dennis Desmond commented: “We’re very excited to announce the V Festival line-up, and proud to bring headliners Justin Timberlake and the Killers, following on from their sold-out Wembley Stadium show in 2013, with both headliners summer festival exclusives

I was watching there T set from last year while round my cousins house last night, surprised at how much I enjoyed it. They've struggled to make a decent album but theres a dozen or so tracks I really like off the first three.

[eFestivals]

They tour and have toured far too much.

particularly for a band that have always been bland, to say the least.

If those screaming girls stopped screaming and saw and heard what was actually happening, they'd realise there was nothing worth screaming about.

Like the Arctics they're a pretty good singles band who could string together enough resonable songs to make them interesting live if you've never seen them before. If you have or they tried to play more obscure stuff I imagine it would be rather dull.

[Monkismo]

God no. They were ok in 2007 as long as you were near the front (I went half way through to go to the loo and couldn't get back in through the mud so ended up at the back where the sound was so bad I went back to the tent) but everything they've released since has been utterly shite. Do people really like their last two albums? Sounds like euro-pop to me.

[dentalplan]

I think V are quite fussy with their English exclusives and that's demonstrated by them booking The Killers for the thousandth time. Certainly can't see them showing up at Worthy Farm and I don't imagine anyone 'rumouring' them will have much to go on other than them still existing.

[chrislfc]

They were excellent in 2005 when they subbed White Stripes I think.

2007 was very average as already stated due to the wind and the sound problems.

Arctic Monkeys put their 2007 shambles behind them last year but they've just made a very good album.

The Killers are good but need a decent new album to get themselves back on top of their game i reckon.
