With “Battle Born” out tomorrow (Sept. 18), it’s about time the Killers put some tour muscle behind the album. The Las Vegas-bred rock group will kick off an international tour with a couple of warm-ups this month, then heads overseas until they’re back in North America on Nov. 29.
Tegan and Sara are skedded to open on the tour, and luckily for them, they’re nearly done with their next, as-yet-untitled effort.
As for those one-offs, the Killers will play an Unstaged live webcast from New York’s Webster Hall tomorrow (Sept. 18), with famed film director Werner Herzog behind the lens; they also have a gig in Los Angeles on Sept. 26, and numerous television appearances in between.
“Battle Born” is led off with single “Runaways.”
