The Killers are set to play Ashton Gate next week after their gig was pushed back twice due to Covid-19. The American rock band are bringing their 'Imploding the Mirage' tour to Bristol on Thursday, May 26, and will be supported by the Manic Street Preachers.
The long awaited gig will kick off 7.30pm with the fan village opening at 3.30pm and stadium bowl 5.30pm. Fans are assured that all tickets bought for the 2020 gig which sold out in hours are being transferred to the new 2022 date.
Ahead of the big event, Ashton Gate has posted a list of frequently asked questions on its website, including what people can and can't bring in. Anyone with tickets to the gig will have to make sure they leave umbrellas, and any food or drink, at home.
