The Battle Born World Tour is the fourth major concert tour by Las Vegas, Nevada rock band The Killers in support of the band's fourth studio album, Battle Born, which was released in September 2012.

Itinerary

During the summer of 2012, The Killers played festivals across Europe and North America as well as intimate shows in small venues. The band then began a promo tour in September 2012. The tour proper started on October 26, 2012 in Glasgow and the band currently have dates booked for shows across Europe, North America & South America, as well as Australia. With more to be added in 2013.

On November 13, 2012 the band's show at Manchester Arena was stopped during the fifth song of the night "Bling (Confession of a King)" with lead singer Brandon Flowers telling the crowd that his voice had 'gone' and he couldn't continue, the following night's show also in Manchester was cancelled. Two days later both shows were rescheduled and are due to take place on the 17th and 18th of February.

The band's shows on December 13th, 14th & 15th in Camden, New York City & Toronto were cancelled after Brandon Flowers contracted Laryngitis. The dates have been rescheduled for May 2013.

On June 22, 2013 the band will headline Wembley Stadium, it will be their biggest show to date.
