Bright Lights comes almost a year after the band released the synth-laden Your Side Of Town, which was a tribute to much of the music that inspired them over the years.

Their euphoric new track - which appears to be somewhat of an ode to the band's hometown - comes at the perfect time, with the band set to start their Las Vegas residency, which will run between 14th - 1st September at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

The dates, will see all four original members of the band come together for the special shows, which will celebrate 20 years of their Hot Fuss album.

The Killers recently made history with a six-night run at The O2, London.

The Mr. Brightside rockers played a sestet of dates in the UK capital as part of their Rebel Diamonds tour, taking to the stage at the North Greenwich venue on the Thursday 4th, Friday 5th, Sunday 7th, Monday 8th, Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th of July.

The nights saw the band sell over 105,000 tickets for The O2-marking the highest number of any music act at the venue in 2024.

To commemorate the landmark moment, the band were awarded by a plaque made of sustainable material Jesmonite, which also features imagery of The Killers’ shows at the venue and incorporates a piece of The O2’s own tent fabric.

The Rebel Diamonds tour - promoted by SJM Concerts and with special guest Travis - saw The Killers visit the likes of Dublin, Glasgow and Manchester, but it's record-breaking residency had some particularly special nights in store.

Their first week at the venue ended with a surprise appearance from Erasure's Andy Bell, who joined them on their cover of his band's A Little Respect hit and helped them perform their Human single.

Then there was the iconic and euphoric moment on Wednesday 10th July, which saw the band stream England's win against the Netherlands in the semi-finals of the UEFA EURO 2024, followed by a swift transition into their much-loved Mr Brightside hit.
