The Killers can’t get enough of Queens.

This gig comes on the heels of an international summer tour, a Las Vegas residency celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal album “Hot Fuss” and a handful of U.S. and Canada shows that includes a stop at Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on Sept. 7.

As of now, tickets are available for all of their 2024 gigs.

“Hot Fuss”

The Killers debut, which was released in 2004, sounds as vital now as it did when it first hit shelves.

Featuring a scandalous subplot — dubbed “KILLERS MURDER TRILOGY,” both “Midnight Show” and “Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine” allegedly tell the story of a jealous lover who may have killed the fictional Jenny — the album made quite a cultural footprint.

“Hot Fuss” came in 33rd on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 100 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time.”

Outside of the concept album’s four major radio-friendly singles, the 12-track record also houses the underrated, jazzy “Believe Me Natalie” and the glitzy, anxiety-inducing “Midnight Show.”

Really, there isn’t a flop in the bunch. “Hot Fuss” is filled to the gills with bangers.

As a refresher, here’s the track list:

01.) “Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine”

02.) “Mr. Brightside”

03.) “Smile Like You Mean It”

04.) “Somebody Told Me”

05.) “All These Things That I’ve Done”

06.) “Andy, You’re A Star”

07.) “On Top”

08.) “Change Your Mind”

09.) “Believe Me Natalie”

10.) “Midnight Show”

11.) “Everything Will be Alright”

12.) “Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll”
