It comes hot on the heels of the Connect Festival, which saw Primal Scream, Fred Again and boygenius play the venue.

One of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century, they have sold more than 28 million records worldwide and have topped the UK album charts with every one of their seven studio albums - most recently 2021's Pressure Machine.

Here's everything you need to know about the gig.

Is there a support act?

The Killers will be supported by Smiths legend Johnny Marr, who is likely to also make a guest appearance with the headliners.

Recent gigs have seen him perform several cover versions of songs made famous by his old band, including Panic, This Charming Man and There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.

What time will The Killers be on at?

Exact stage times have yet to be confirmed but doors to the concert open at 5pm. Judging by previous concerts at the venue The Killers are likely to take to the stage between 8.30pm and 9pm.
