Seems like there's a lot going on independent of any Glasto visit tbf, with confirmation of small venue shows to mark Hot Fuss' 20 years anniversary and that Brandon is planning to release a solo album in 2025. Yeah, I think it makes it seem more likely than it probably is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killers are actually an undisputed headliner worldwide though - unlike Editors who can't sell 5k in London these days! Yeah, but a small-ish one in Belgium though. Their day at Pukkelpop of this year (together with Florence and the Machine, Macklemore, Dropkick Murphys, Foals, King Gizzard, Loyle Carner,...) never sold out, for instance. The show was not too great as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Florence pulling out did make me slightly less unhappy to miss out, given a Killers-Florence-Foals 1-2-3 is something I would've been on board with. I did gather it didn't sell out though.

It is odd tbf that they headlined Werchter above Depeche Mode in 2013 but were put onto the Barn this year, even if the post above says they still drew a big-ass crowd. They are doing Antwerp Sports Paleis in March (think London O2 size) and Ticketmaster Belgium hints that while tickets are still available, most of them are taken.
