The rock band is just six weeks away from the release of <em>Wonderful Wonderful<\/em>, their first album in five years.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Nevada-based band has teased fans over the prospect of a new album since late-2015 after the members went on hiatus to focus on solo endeavors. In the five years since their last LP <em>Battle Born<\/em> was released, frontman Brandon Flowers, bass player Mark Stoermer, and drummer Ronnie Vannucci have all released solo projects. Though their individual projects were not a complete contrast to The Killers&#8217; sound, there was wide enthusiasm when the band reconvened and offered fans a taste of their new music.<\/p>\n<p>The band have just recently released the album&#8217;s title and full tracklist via Twitter, but their latest singles, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w3xcybdis1k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Man<\/a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rkm8ph6tMh0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Run for Cover<\/a>,&#8221; are fueling the excitement over the new collection.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our new album is called Wonderful Wonderful.

The latter channels the familiar indie-rock sound of the band&#8217;s early hits, and is an instant toe-tapper.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of <em>Wonderful Wonderful<\/em>, The Killers will headline <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketclub.com\/concerts\/lollapalooza-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lollapalooza<\/a> in Chicago&#8217;s Grant Park for the fourth time in their career. While The Killers won&#8217;t be able to gift the crowd with all of <em>Wonderful Wonderful<\/em>&#8216;s ten tracks during the coveted performance slot, they can still bring everyone to their feet with fan-favorites like &#8220;Mr. Brightside,&#8221; &#8220;Somebody Told Me,&#8221; &#8220;Human,&#8221; and &#8220;All These Things That I&#8217;ve Done.&#8221; The major festival will serve as a warm-up for similar shows in the coming weeks and by the year&#8217;s end, a new world tour.<\/p>\n<p>The group has a number of major festival gigs lined up immediately following the album&#8217;s release, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketclub.com\/tickets\/global-citizen-festival-stevie-wonder-green-day-the-killers-the-lumineers-2017-09-23-3195029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Citizen Festival<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketclub.com\/concerts\/austin-city-limits-festival-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Austin City Limits<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketclub.com\/tickets\/lost-lake-festival-the-killers-chance-the-rapper-major-lazer-3-day-pass-2017-10-20-3121221\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lost Lake Festival<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketclub.com\/concerts\/voodoo-music-arts-experience-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Voodoo Music &amp; Arts Experience<\/a>.
