THE KILLERS Announce Sam’s Town Vinyl Reissue & Decennial Extravaganza

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their sophomore album Sam’s Town, The Killers will be releasing a 10th anniversary Sam’s Town vinyl reissue this Fall and hosting a 2-day extravaganza at Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall in Las Vegas, NV on September 30th & October 1st, 2016. Tickets for the event will go on sale August 5th at 10am PST,with presale tickets available to members of The Killers’ fan club on August 3rd starting at 10am PST. All profits from the event will go to support local Las Vegas charities for the homeless and addiction recovery.

The Sam’s Town vinyl reissue is available for pre-order now via Bong Load Records for release this Fall, PRESS HERE to pre-order. The fully re-mastered double LP will feature “Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys Stars are Blazing Mix).” The sequentially numbered records are limited to 5,016 copies and will include a special edition, coffee table book-style booklet reflecting on the 10th anniversary of the album.

The Las Vegas four-piece released Sam’s Town in 2006 – a heartfelt love letter to their hometown that was an RIAA platinum hit upon release, spent 42 weeks on the Billboard Top 200 and spawned hit singles “When You Were Young” (which was nominated for two Grammy awards) and “Read My Mind.”

Produced by Flood (U2’s The Joshua Tree, Depeche Mode’s Songs of Faith and Devotion) andAlan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins’ Siamese Dream, Nine Inch Nails’ The Fragile) and accompanied by imagery by photographer Anton Corbijn, who shot the cover of U2’s The Joshua Tree, Sam’s Town found The Killers adding a Springsteen-inspired Americana influence to their modern New Wave sound and catapulted them to headline status at venues like Madison Square Garden and festivals including Glastonbury and Coachella. Rolling Stone readers recently named Sam’s Town the most underrated album of the last 10 years.

To highlight the album’s achievements and celebrate the 10-year anniversary of its release, The Killers will host a Sam’s Town Decennial Extravaganza featuring:

*Performances by The Killers on Friday and Saturday night

*An expert-led tour of The Killers’ Las Vegas – from iconic spots in the band’s musical history, including Battle Born Studios and early locations that shaped each member
