Vegas fops the Killers are about to take their unapologetic theatricality and their eight-or-so great songs on the road, starting tonight in Boulder, Colorado. Day & Age, the band's latest, only includes maybe two of those great songs, not a great ratio for a Killers album (the first one had at least four), but these shows are still probably going to be worth catching, and not just because of what I have to imagine will be a hell of a light show.

At least on the first leg of the tour, shockingly compatible openers M83 will be along for the ride, and it'll be fun to hear their synthgaze epics in an actual arena, even if most of the crowd will still be in seat-locating mode when they're on.

Meanwhile, the Killers have just announced the second leg of their American tour, though they haven't confirmed an opener yet. That second leg goes down after the band gets done touring Europe and Australia.
