The Killers have announced a trio of "encore shows" in Las Vegas.

This year saw Brandon Flowers and co celebrate 20 years of their debut album, Hot Fuss, by playing it in full with a whopping 10 nights at The Colosseum in Caesar's Palace.

Now, the Mr. Brightside rockers have announced three more homecoming shows (two of which will be filmed) in the City of Sin, playing the venue on 22nd, 24th and 25th January next year.

Sharing the dates on their socials, the band said: "We liked our Vegas show so much that we’re coming back for a limited run in January. We’re filming the final two shows to preserve it for posterity, so come join us and be part of history as we play Hot Fuss in its entirety three more times."

The band - completed by Dave Keuning, Ronnie Vannucci Jr. and Mark Stoermer - treated their home crowd to the glitzy dates, playing their debut album in full as promised as well as hits from across their career.

The band kicked things off with Jenny Was a Friend of Mine and ended on Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll, which featured as a bonus track on the vinyl and European editions of their 2004 debut.

The dazzling set saw Flowers in full Elvis Presley mode, treating the crowds to a snippet of the King of Rock and Roll's Burning Love during their All These Things That I've Done single.

Another nod to Vegas came with Flowers' rendition of Luck Be A Lady Tonight, which served as the intro to their performance of Change Your Mind, which was played for the first time since 2019.
