I've seen a lot of hate on here against The Killers but personally I think they'd be a great Friday night headliner. They have a new album coming out soon and there are rumors of a tour in the works. Sam's town is one of my favorite albums and hearing Read My Mind at the farm would be such a good way to start off the weekend. I'm interested to hear all of your opinions on why you think they would or wouldn't be a good headliner. Personally I'd much rather have them than Muse or the Foo Fighters.
By "guilty pleasure," I mean like they're a relatively straightforward pop band but I really, really enjoy their straightforward pop songs, Fuzzy. If that makes any sense. I don't *really* feel guilty about any band I truly enjoy.
We were just talking about this in chat this morning. I would be really happy with them. I would rather see them than 90% of possible Friday headliners.
Also for the first idiot who says they aren't big enough to headline, you are an idiot.

I'd love to see the Killers on Friday night. From what I've seen they put on a great show. Actually listening to them now on my ipod. Ironic? I don't think so...
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad" The dream maker's gonna make you mad The spaceman says, "Everybody look down" It's all in your mind
I would love to see the Killers next year. I saw them headline Orlando Calling back in November, and they put on an extremely entertaining show.
And an even better one at a club the night before for Victims. Saw both those shows and driving 7 hours to see my and their 3rd North American show in row at Firefly. So ya, I want this to happen....

Day & Age was so-so. Hoping they bounce back on this next album. Sam's Town was one of my very favorite albums of the 00's. I caught a lot of flack for holding it in such high esteem. A very acceptable Friday headliner in my eyes.
I would be happy with The Killers, Jack White, or Muse in the Friday night spot. I would be accepting of Coldplay or Foo Fighters assuming that there's something on Saturday night that really draws me in.
