The Killers Oxegen Show Unveiled

The Killers will play at Oxegen 09 this summer. The Las Vegas four-piece join the likes of Kings Of Leon, Snow Patrol, Blur, Bloc Party and Razorlight as the main events at Oxegen, which is based as Punchestown Racecourse in Naas, although, with the festival being a three-dayer, it hasn’t revealed who of the big hitters will be headlining over the others.

Their Oxegen appearance marks The Killers’ first confirming British festival of the summer, although, with the headliners of V and Reading still unrevealed, we’d bet on it definitely not being Brandon & co.’s last…

With The Killers now added to the bill, Oxegen is building what could be the festival line-up of the summer. It currently looks like this:
Kings Of Leon
The Killers
Snow Patrol
Blur
Bloc Party
Razorlight
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Pete Doherty
Elbow
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Ting Tings
The Script
Katy Perry
White Lies
Fight Like Apes
Pendulum
Jason Mraz
