LAS VEGAS band The Killers have pushed back their UK and Ireland stadium tour, including Coventry’s Ricoh Arena, to the summer of 2022.
The band’s biggest ever Imploding The Mirage tour sold out in hours when dates first went on sale last year when they were originally due to come to the UK but following the pandemic the Coventry gig was postponed to May 29 2021.
They will be joined by special guests the Manic Street Preachers at the newly rescheduled show at Ricoh Arena on Saturday May 28 next year.
Fans are guaranteed all tickets held for the original dates will be honoured and are now transferable to the corresponding 2022 show.
Issuing a statement this week The Killers said: “UK and Ireland friends… We’re sorry, but there’s no way around this. These will be the same great shows, but we have to move them to next year. All tickets will be honored, so we really hope you can still join us!”

Imploding The Mirage is The Killers’ sixth studio album, and their record breaking sixth number one album in the UK with hit singles including Caution, My Own Soul’s Warning and Fire In Bone.
It was produced by the band with Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, and was recorded in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Park City, Utah. The Killers are currently in the studio working on songs for a new album.
Since the release of their 2004 debut, Hot Fuss, The Killers have sold 28 million albums, headlined stadiums and festivals around the world. Their last UK show was their celebrated Glastonbury headline set in June 2019, which saw them joined by Johnny Marr and Pet Shop Boys.
