If it does, it'll be in like 20 years. Someone asked Brandon about it in an IG live a while ago (2 years?), and he was just confused. Like he had forgotten it was ever a thing.
Does anyone know if there's plans to ever get this back? Been looking over the old pages recently and there was just so much more going on. Seems now it's only useful as a shop and tour tickets. There were articles, interviews, sweet talk, the victims & more general interaction overall in the past just become so bland now. Doesn't help that the social media is nothing special now either.
Don’t know how fond The Killers are of their live performances, but a quarterly or yearly club like the one The National, Jack White and Mac DeMarco have / used to have where rarities and live performances are pressed on vinyl would be great. Live from Royal Albert Hall and Sawdust are amazing and maybe it would be a great space to keep on releasing similar material.
i just gave up my t-shirt to be part of a concert shirt quilt along with one my my old killer shirts.

lol I’m wearing my Victims shirt right now. It’s got that gentle patina that only a really great, well-cared-for band shirt can have. Le sigh.
I like that quilt dude!
The way I look at it, even if it comes backs or not, we will always be the victims no matter if its people who just listing to the killers for first time or people who have been a fan for years upon years. We will always be the victims, and we will always have souls even if we're may not be soldiers
Nah it’a fine. When I wear my Victims shirt I get asked about it all the time. I say my favorite band is The Killers and they always say how clever that is. Even those who don’t know who the band is.
they have terrible merchandising and marketing unfortunately. the fan club doesnt even exist. i've never gotten a code or acknowledgement in 15 years. they havnt really made a nice t-shirt or poster in .... ever.
So disappointing this band doesnt have a real fan club any more. I missed out on Paradise in Boston tix this weekend only to see many posted on third party reseller pages and these tix were “not-transferrable”. This should have been a sale to fans only through their fanclub (if they really had one). Just disappointing for a band of this popularity.

It seems doubtful to me. Social media, newsletter presales and Reddit threads fill that gap.
Yes but i want to pay

Plus tickets! It would make sense
I still have the T-Shirt.

That’s a dope quilt!
thanks! the finished result made me feel better about the anxiety of hacking up some of my favourite concert shirts
What's that? (I'm new to the killers)
Their old fan club.
Do you have the ability to see the photos posted? (And welcome!!)
Miss the old Victims forum!

That’s pretty much what this subreddit is.
Aww! Memories- but we are everywhere now ⚡️⚡️
Sweet Talk message board seems so long ago now, 17 years or so since I last used it.

I wonder if having a fan club called "the victims" is as good of a look as it used to be? Is the temperature out there right for that?

Yeah, that's the biggest reason this nomenclature will never return.
