Rock band The Killers will play Eastern Michigan University's Convocation Center on Dec. 20, according to a post today on the venue's Facebook page. Tickets go on sale Friday.

Tickets will be available via emutix.com. Ticket prices have not yet been announced.

Tegan and Sara will open the show.

The Killers have a substantial, dedicated fan base and have won critical acclaim for their smart yet accessible indie rock. Rolling Stone readers voted the band's 2008 release, "Day & Age," the Album of the Year.

Formed in 2001, the band has released three studio albums. Its fourth, "Battle Born," featuring the single "Runaways," is scheduled for U.S. release on Tuesday.
