The Hot Fuss Tour was a concert tour by American rock band The Killers. It took place between 2003 and 2005 to support the band's first studio album, Hot Fuss, which was released in June 2004. The tour was enduring with the band playing well over 300 shows in a two-year period.
In late 2003, shortly after being signed by UK independent record label Lizard King and a successful string of performances in London, The Killers announced that they would be touring the UK supporting British Sea Power. During the first half of 2004 they continued playing support slots; opening for Stellastarr on both their UK and US tours and Morrissey on two dates in the US. They also made appearances at South by Southwest & Coachella Festival.
The band began their first ever headline tour in Portsmouth, England on May 23, 2004; Initially the band were headlining small venues which held no more than 1,000 people, by the end of the tour they were regularly selling out venues with capacities of over 5,000. The band supported by Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party & The Futureheads headlined the NME Awards Tour in early 2005 and also supported U2 on three stadium dates of their Vertigo Tour. The Killers were joined by British Sea Power for the final leg in North America; bringing the tour full circle, the final show took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on October 13, 2005. In total they played 305 shows spanning four continents and eighteen different countries.
