When The Killers launch into their latest North American concert dates later this week, they will do so with a recently extended itinerary on the horizon. The Las Vegas-based rock crew has added a handful of new dates to its late summer 2009 tour, which now continues through October 3 at American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL.

The rock crew has two shows planned for this weekend on August 8 at Horseshoe Casino in Elizabeth, IN, and August 9 at Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL. After a round of shows overseas, The Killers will return stateside and begin their primary tour leg on August 31 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.

Even as they fill venues on a current international trek, alternative rockers The Killers are finalizing plans for their next North American venture. The 14-date late summer tour is scheduled to kick off August 31 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD, and continue through September 28 at Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, AZ.

Along the way, the Las Vegas-based band will stop for shows on September 4 at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, MA; September 9 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO; and September 22 at the Arco Arena in Sacramento, CA. Two Canadian dates are on the booked for the run on September 5 at Quays Jaques Cartier in Montreal, QC, and September 6 at The Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, ON.

Paul McCartney will be making his first-ever U.S. festival appearance when he joins The Killers and The Cure as this year’s headliners at the 10th annual Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, April 17-19. Once again, the festival is being staged at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA -- the same grounds where the festival debuted in 1999.

Among the 130-plus acts are Morrissey, Amy Winehouse, Franz Ferdinand, My Bloody Valentine, Leonard Cohen, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, Thievery Corporation, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
