The Killers Pressure Machine Out August 13, 2021 on Island Records
The Killers will release their seventh studio album, entitled Pressure Machine, on Island Records on August 13, 2021. The album was co-produced by the band, Shawn Everett, and Jonathan Rado (of Foxygen), all of whom worked together on The Killers’ critically acclaimed album Imploding The Mirage, released last year.
The Killers will be heading back to the road to celebrate both Pressure Machine and Imploding The Mirage, along with their much-loved catalogue of global hits, in 2022. The tour will make a Las Vegas stop at T-Mobile Arena Friday, Aug. 26, 2022. Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday, July 23 at 10 a.m. PT at axs.com.
When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the promotional run and worldwide tour for The Killers’ majestic, critically acclaimed 2020 album Imploding the Mirage, “everything came to this grinding halt,” says frontman Brandon Flowers. “And it was the first time in a long time for me that I was faced with silence. And out of that silence this record began to bloom, full of songs that would have otherwise been too quiet and drowned out by the noise of typical Killers records.” Indeed, for the first time since 2004, the relentless momentum and pressures of being in a globally-renowned, stadium-shaking band stopped.
