The Killers to headline EXIT Festival Day Zero

One of the greatest bands of our time The Killers will headline Exit Festival on 5 July 2017! They will play at the colossal Petrovaradin Fortress on newly added Day Zero and lead the bill with Liam Gallagher, Rag'n'Bone Man, Jake Bugg, Hardwell, Paul Kalkbrener, Duke Dumont, Dixon, Jamie Jones and many more previously announced acts for the following four days of the award-winning Serbian festival. The Vegas four will give fans an early glimpse of material from their hugely anticipated new album expected later this year, alongside their greatest hits such are "Mr. Brightside", "Somebody Told Me", "Human", "Runaways" and many more. Their first ever show in Serbia will be a part of an exclusive tour that includes selected festivals and a sold-out Hyde Park to follow right after the EXIT!



The Killers stormed the world with their 2004 debut, “Hot Fuss”, which went on to become one of that decade’s biggest selling albums and has since been hailed as one of the greatest debut albums of all time by Rolling Stone. Since then, each of the band’s four studio albums has topped the UK charts along with many more all over the globe, selling more than 25 million copies! The Killers are known for their humanitarian work and social activism being of the main participants of global awareness campaign against human trafficking MTV EXIT, which was launched in 2004 at the EXIT Festival!

The Killers formed in Las Vegas in 2001 after Brandon Flowers, the frontman of the band, came out fascinated from an Oasis concert and published an ad in a local newspaper looking for guitar, bass and drums. They formed the current line-up in 2003, featuring the talents of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vanucci, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has received countless accolades for their artistic achievement, including multiple Grammy nominations, American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, NME Awards and more. The Killers headlined all the major global festivals, while also selling out largest arenas like Madison Square Garden and stadiums like Wembley.

EXIT Festival will take place from 5th to 9th July at the spectacular Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia. Tickets can be found at the official EXIT website and more acts will soon be announced for what is always a very genre diverse line-up that EXIT is known for.
