The Killers Announce a One-Night Show at First Avenue Before Their Target Field Gig

The beloved American rock band The Killers have announced a one-night show on July 13 at  First Avenue, one night prior to their scheduled date for headlining at the Twin Cities Summer Fest at Target Field. The announcement came as welcome news for fans, especially those who couldn’t find the tickets to the latter show, which is set to feature artists like Flaming Lips, Death Cab For Cutie, The Killers, and Imagine Dragons, among others. Compared to the former, the Target Field concerts will be much less intimate, with the capacity of the venue being 40,000. The presale for the tickets for the  First Avenue show is to begin on Friday, July 7, at noon, while the sale of tickets for the general public will come live at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 8.

The band was formed in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2001 and rose to fame with their unique fusion of indie rock and synth-pop, turning into one of the most influential bands in the early 2000s and has been nominated for a total of 7 Grammys. With a repertoire of numerous chart-toppers, including those like “Mr. Brightside,” “Somebody Told Me” and “All These Things I’ve Done”, The Killers have amassed a huge fan following over the years, turning into one of the most iconic bands of the era and has sold over 25 million albums worldwide. Their latest album ‘Pressure Machine’, which is their eighth album and seventh studio album, was released in 2021 and dealt with the theme of the band’s lead singer Brandon Flowers’ childhood in Nephi, Utah.

Earlier this year in March, the band finally held their long-awaited and much-delayed ‘Imploding the Mirage Tour’ at the Petersen Events Center. Standing behind an infinity symbol-shaped keyboard, Brandon Flowers greeted the audience with the words, “Welcome to the better-late-than-never Imploding the Mirage Tour.” Originally scheduled to be held on 8 October 2020, the concert was rescheduled multiple times because of the pandemic and finally saw the light of day after a delay of 892 days, starting with the song “My Own Soul’s Warning” and soon moving on to the first of many sing-along fan favorites of the night, “When We Were Young.”

In an interview in 2022, Flowers opened up about the sense of fulfillment he feels when performing live shows, saying: “We’ve missed that communal experience and that outlet ourselves, it’s part of our identity. I say it so much because it’s sort of a surprise to me. When we started, it was about the songs, of course, then you realize that there’s this whole other art form. We’ve taken advantage of that, and it’s also just been really wonderful for us.”
