Fans snapped up tickets for dates in Wolverhampton, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Glasgow, London and Dublin after just five minutes of them going on sale at 9am. It is unknown at this stage whether the band will be adding any extra dates.
The gigs, in support of their forthcoming second album 'Sam's Town', follow The Killers' comeback show at Blackpool's Empress Ballroom venue last week (September 8).

Hull Arena (21)
Glasgow Academy (22)
Newcastle Academy (23)
Nottingham Rock City (25)
