The Killers 2022 Tour: Dates, tickets, where to buy and more

On August 5, American rock band The Killers released a new single titled boy, ahead of their tour, scheduled to kick off in August.

The North American leg of the tour will begin on August 19 in Vancover and wrap up on October 10 in Washington DC. The Killers will then head to New Zealand and Australia, where they have shows slated for November and December. Tickets for the tour are currently available through the band’s pfficial website.

The Killers' single, boy, was written after the band was forced to cancel their Imploding the Mirage tour due to the pandemic. The song was kept on hold because it did not fit the vibe of their 2021 album Pressure Machine. It was finally debuted at the Mad Cool festival in Madrid on July 7 and was also performed nine days later in Amsterdam.

The studio version of the song has now been made available for listeners.

In a statement, The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers said that the song was written after he returned to Utah following their tour cancelation and started visiting Nephi, which is where he grew up. He said:

“I found that the place I had wanted to get away from so desperately at 16 was now a place that I couldn’t stop returning to. I have a son approaching the age I was at that time in my life. With ‘boy,’ I want to reach out and tell myself — and my sons — to not overthink it. And to look for the ‘white arrows’ in their lives. For me now, white arrows are my wife, children, my songs and the stage.”
