The Killers are coming home.
From Aug. 14-30, Brandon Flowers and co. are staging an eight-concert residency at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace.
At all shows, the Sin City-based band will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their classic debut album “Hot Fuss” by playing the record in its entirety for the first time.
Hit tracks from “Hot Fuss” include “Smile Like You Mean It,” “Somebody Told Me,” “All These Things That I’ve Done” and, yes, the ubiquitous “Mr. Brightside.”
While it isn’t guaranteed that they’ll play other songs from their storied catalog, Stereogum speculates that fans can “expect to hear a lot more of the Killers’ greatest hits at these gigs (since) the album’s original tracklist only runs 11 songs.”
In addition to the residency, the hitmakers are also headlining at the New Orleans Jazz Festival, Boston Calling and New York’s Governors Ball this summer.
And if you can’t wait to get your hands on tickets, you can pick them up as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available for the “Hot Fuss” Vegas residency on Ticketmaster until Friday, Jan. 26, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

“Hot Fuss”
The Killers debut, which was released in 2004, sounds as vital now as it did when it first hit shelves.
Featuring a scandalous subplot — dubbed “KILLERS MURDER TRILOGY,” both “Midnight Show” and “Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine” allegedly tell the story of a jealous lover who may have killed the fictional Jenny — the album made quite a cultural footprint.
“Hot Fuss” came in 33rd on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 100 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time.”
Outside of the concept album’s four major radio-friendly singles, the 12-track record also houses the underrated, jazzy “Believe Me Natalie” and the glitzy, anxiety-inducing “Midnight Show.”
Really, there isn’t a flop in the bunch. “Hot Fuss” is filled to the gills with bangers.
As a refresher, here’s the track list:
01.) “Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine”
02.) “Mr. Brightside”
03.) “Smile Like You Mean It”
04.) “Somebody Told Me”
05.) “All These Things That I’ve Done”
06.) “Andy, You’re A Star”
07.) “On Top”
08.) “Change Your Mind”
09.) “Believe Me Natalie”
