The Killers concert chronology

The Rebel Diamonds Tour is the seventh major concert tour by American rock band The Killers. The tour supports their second greatest hit album Rebel Diamonds (2023), which features select songs from each of their studio albums.

The tour began at the 3Arena in Dublin on June 12, 2024 and is currently scheduled to encompass 29 dates across the UK, Ireland, Spain, Japan, United States, Canada and Mexico.[1][2][3][4][5]

Background

The tour was announced in December 2023, ahead of the release of Rebel Diamonds, initially spanning ten concerts in arenas across the UK and Ireland.[6] This was later extended to 16 dates due to demand.[7] The band later added a number of dates in North America, as well as a number of festival performances in Europe, Japan and the United States.

This tour saw founding member and guitarist Dave Keuning return to perform live with the band, following his hiatus since 2017.[8]

Critical reception

The UK and Ireland leg of the tour received widespread acclaim from music critics. Aidan McCartney of the Manchester Evening News gave the band's performance at Co-Op Live a five-star review, praising "the band's ability to deliver unexpected delights after all this time" and stating that they are "still at the peak of their powers twenty years on."[9] Writing for the i newspaper, Craig McLean noted that the band's set was shorter and more intimate than other similar artists touring at the same time in the UK, but nonetheless noted that "the band were in roaring form from the off", with particular praise for Dave Keuning's "exultant moves on his trapezoidal guitar" in a four-star review.[10] Reviewing the same Manchester concert as McCartney, Andrew Steel of The Yorkshire Post was similarly complimentary of the band's downsizing of the "relative... intimacy" of the band's arena performances in comparison to their stadium shows during the Imploding the Mirage Tour in 2022, claiming it allowed the band to appeal more to hardcore, as well as casual, fans.[11]
