Australia’s favourite outdoor concert event is heading back to Geelong this week with one of the biggest live bands in the world - The Killers.
Making the band’s a day on the green debut, The Killers will be performing big outdoor shows at Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong, VIC on Saturday 10 December 2022 as part of their Imploding The Mirage Australian tour.
Originally announced in 2020 in support of their critically acclaimed ARIA #1 album Imploding The Mirage but then cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, this will be The Killers’ first time back on our shores since their 2018 Australasian tour which included ten completely sold-out arena shows. The genre-busting pop narrator Alex Cameron with his full band and Australian rock singer-songwriter, guitarist, composer Jack Ladder will be joining The Killers for the show.
