The Killers mark 20th anniversary with Sam’s Town on 27 November

The Killers will issue the Sam’s Town 20th Anniversary reissues on 27 November 2026. The release comprises two newly mastered vinyl editions, while a separate 7-inch singles box set is due on 29 January 2027.
Sam’s Town returns in two vinyl editions on 27 November
The release details give 27 November 2026 for the vinyl reissues. They comprise a numbered 2LP 45 RPM audiophile edition and a Red Smoke 33 RPM edition.
Each format uses 180-gram records. The audiophile package adds Peace Of Mind as a bonus track and includes a 12-page booklet, while the official 2LP page records the two-disc configuration.
The second album’s anniversary format widens the set
Sam’s Town was The Killers’ second album, following Hot Fuss. The anniversary editions revisit the record through physical formats rather than presenting a newly recorded album.
The band made the album after returning to Las Vegas, with Alan Moulder and Flood among its producers, according to anniversary background on the release. That history connects the core LP package with a separate collection of singles from the same period.
The physical programme therefore gives the two editions different roles. The 2LP set expands the album presentation, while the singles box gathers related releases in 7-inch form.
The singles box adds five Sam’s Town-era 7-inches
The 7-inch box set contains the four original singles When You Were Young, Bones, Read My Mind and For Reasons Unknown, each paired with its B-side.
A fifth single pairs Peace Of Mind with the Read My Mind Like Rebel Diamonds Mix. The release announcement identifies that mix as its first appearance on vinyl.
The box set arrives on 29 January 2027. Its contents extend the anniversary programme beyond the two LP editions due on 27 November 2026.
