The Las Vegas band, who are currently working of their fourth studio album, join the likes of The Stone Roses, Placebo, The xx, Wild Beasts and The Vaccines in playing the event, which runs from August 6–13, with The Killers closing the show on the final night (August 13).

The Killers, who are also booked to headline this summer's V Festival, told NME earlier this year that their new album would be finished in May or June, and might even be out in time for their August shows.

Speaking about this, bassist Mark Stoemer said: "It might be out [in time for V] but there's no guarantees. We technically started last May, but we've been doing it in pieces, and it's kind of taken a while to feel it out and figure out what it means to be a band again, because we took so much time off."

The bassist added that the album saw the band going in a more "rock direction" than their 2008 effort 'Day & Age'.

He said of this: "Stylistically, it's pushing in more of a rock direction than the last album. But we're also doing something we haven't done before. It'll definitely sound like us."

This is a great year for rock music. The Kings are officially back to slay us once again.

Well, it was all scattered pieces of info before. So this one officially sums up their plans and how their new album would sound like + a potential release date.

I hope there's more electronically driven synth sound in their music and harder basses but just enough to balance them and provide a unique 'The Killers' sound.
