With the American band already headed to Australia for a national tour that commences in late November, The Killers will play the Sunday night concert (4 December) to be joined by a special guest (to be announced later).The Friday instalment of bands features a host of Australia's hottest musical exports with rockers Lime Cordiale joined by hip hop artist Baker Boy and electronic legends The Presets alongside local punk-rock duo Teenage Joans.

Six local acts will also be announced later as part of the MusicSA's Bands On Track incentive joining the line-up of artists.
"We made a commitment to not only bring back the great race that is the Adelaide 500 but, also, make it an event which will bring our events sector roaring back to life," South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas says.
"And that we have done in securing one of the world's best live acts to celebrate the Adelaide 500's return – The Killers.
"Plus we have some of our country’s most-revered artists set to perform alongside a bevy of local talent that will help soundtrack the return of this great event, putting South Australia in pole position on the motorsport calendar.
