The Churchill Park Music Festival in St. John’s is set to welcome one of the most influential rock bands of the 21st century, The Killers, as they take the stage on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. This exciting addition to the festival lineup promises to be a highlight for fans, as the Las Vegas-based band will be joined by special guests The Beaches and Matt Mays.
The Killers, known for their chart-topping hits like "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me," will headline the festival in a rare Tuesday night performance, an unusual choice for an event that typically spans two weekends. The band, formed in 2002, consists of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vannucci, guitarist Dave Keuning, and bassist Mark Stoermer. Over the years, they have garnered numerous accolades, including multiple Grammy nominations and American Music Awards, solidifying their status in the music industry.
Fans eager to catch The Killers live can purchase tickets starting Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at noon through the festival's official website, ChurchillParkMusicFestival.com. The anticipation is already building, especially with the festival's previous announcements. Just days before The Killers take the stage, Def Leppard will perform on Friday, July 25, 2025, alongside Honeymoon Suite and Sam Roberts Band, marking the first time in over 30 years that Def Leppard has played in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Churchill Park Music Festival has a rich history of attracting top-tier talent, with past performances featuring artists like Alanis Morissette, Shania Twain, and Pit Bull. This year’s lineup is no exception, and the addition of The Killers further elevates the festival’s reputation.
The Killers first burst onto the scene with their debut album, "Hot Fuss," released in 2004, which received worldwide acclaim for its infectious melodies and poignant lyrics. The album included iconic tracks that have become staples in modern rock, with "Mr. Brightside" achieving legendary status as one of the most streamed songs of all time.
