The Killers Opening Act 2026 — Who is the Support?
How The Killers Tour Openers Get Announced
Most The Killerstour openers aren't named when tickets go on sale. The supporting act is locked in per-region (sometimes per-show) and surfaces on the official Ticketmaster show page in the weeks before each stop. Click any date above to see whether the opener is confirmed yet — Catch Movement pulls live show pages daily, so the listed support act updates as soon as Ticketmaster does.
For headliners at The Killers's scale, expect a single opener doing a 30 to 45 minute set, sometimes with a regional rotation (a Canadian opener for CA dates, a US opener for the American leg). The opener slot doesn't require a separate ticket — your The Killers ticket covers the full show.

- Check the listing — confirmed openers appear under the headline name once added.
- Watch for updates — openers are sometimes added 2 to 4 weeks out, so check back if it's still TBA.
Do I Need a Separate Ticket for the Opener?
No. The The Killers ticket you buy from Ticketmaster covers the entire show — opener + headliner — at the same venue, same night. Doors usually open 60 to 90 minutes before the advertised start time; the opener typically performs first, with a 20 to 30 minute changeover before The Killers takes the stage.

About The Killers
The Killers formed in Las Vegas in 2001 when Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards), then a 20-year-old fresh from being fired by a synth-pop side project called Blush Response, answered a Las Vegas Weekly classified ad placed by guitarist Dave Keuning. The two wrote Mr. Brightside in the first weeks of working together. Mark Stoermer (bass) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums) joined within the year, and the four-piece spent 2002 grinding through Las Vegas venues — the Junkyard, the Sasha, the Cafe Espresso Roma — before a six-week UK residency in 2003 caught the attention of Lizard King Records, who signed the band and licensed them to Island in North America. Hot Fuss was released in June 2004 and changed the band's life: Somebody Told Me, Mr. Brightside, Smile Like You Mean It, and All These Things That I've Done turned the album into a slow-burning global breakout that has now sold more than 7 million copies in the US alone and topped 10 million worldwide, winning the NME Award for Best International Band and earning the band Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. The band pivoted hard for Sam's Town in October 2006 — a heartland-rock reset produced by Flood and Alan Moulder that traded the Anglophile new-wave shimmer of Hot Fuss for Springsteen-scale Americana, with When You Were Young and Bones leading a record that debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and number one on the UK chart and shifted around 4.5 million copies worldwide. Sawdust (2007) collected the b-sides. Day & Age (2008) brought Human and Spaceman and was the band's last record with the recording lineup intact for a stretch, hitting number one in the UK and number six in the US. Battle Born (2012) leaned into stadium rock with Runaways and Miss Atomic Bomb. Wonderful Wonderful (2017) gave the band their first US number-one album and their second UK chart-topper, with The Man as the lead single. Imploding the Mirage (2020), produced by Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado, hit number one in the UK and was widely regarded as the band's best-reviewed record in a decade — Caution, Dying Breed, and My Own Soul's Warning carried the run. Pressure Machine (2021) followed quickly with a quieter, story-cycle record rooted in Brandon Flowers' upbringing in Nephi, Utah. Rebel Diamonds (2023) collected twenty years of singles into a single greatest-hits set. Across the catalogue the band have remained a Las Vegas institution, a UK festival staple, and one of the most reliable arena-and-stadium touring acts of their generation.
