Following the announcement of THRASHER, his highly anticipated third solo album and first in over a decade, The Killers’ Brandon Flowers has unveiled details of a headline tour across North America, the UK and Ireland this autumn. The UK run includes a special show at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 15th October.
Fans can look forward to hearing songs from THRASHER played live for the first time alongside highlights from Flowers’ UK chart-topping solo albums, Flamingo (2010) and The Desired Effect (2015), as well as beloved tracks from The Killers’ celebrated catalogue.
The Royal Albert Hall date is set to be a particularly special occasion, marking Flowers’s first full performance at the venue since The Killers’ legendary 2009 shows. Those unforgettable concerts were later released on the band’s iconic live album and DVD release Live From The Royal Albert Hall.
THRASHER will be released on 21st August 2026 via Island Records. Recorded in Nashville at Historic RCA Studio A with longtime producers Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado, THRASHER features many of Music City’s most renowned players, including longtime Gillian Welch collaborator David Rawlings on guitar, prolific and influential pedal steel player Bruce Bouton, and 85-year-old Charlie McCoy, the legendary harmonica player whose signature playing graces all four of Bob Dylan’s iconic Nashville records. Rooted in his formative childhood years in the small town of Nephi, Utah, the timeless sonic approach proves to be the ideal home for Flowers’ most personal and vulnerable songwriting yet. The first single from the album, “Plans”, will arrive this Friday, 26th June.
