The Killers are marking the 20th anniversary of their seminal record, Hot Fuss, this year. As part of the celebration, the rock group is heading to their hometown of Las Vegas for a residency that will see them playing the album in full for the first time.

The band will play eight shows at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace from August 14 through August 30. The tickets are going on sale for the general public on January 27.

The Killers released Hot Fuss on June 7, 2004, for British indie record label Lizard King Records. The album featured hit singles like “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me”, and was met with positive reviews from the critics and audience. It remained at the top of the UK Albums charts for two weeks and peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard 200. The record was also nominated for the Grammy Award in the Best Rock Album category.

Before they settle in Las Vegas for their Hot Fuss residency, The Killers plan to tour the UK and Ireland in June and July. The group previously planned to release their eighth studio album in 2023 but opted to scrap the record in favor of the greatest hits album Rebel Diamonds.
