At many of these shows, the band previewed several new songs from the then-upcoming album Wonderful Wonderful including the singles "The Man" and "Run for Cover".{{cite web |url=https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=the+killers&year=2017 |title=Search for setlists: The Killers 2017 |website=Setlist.fm |access-date=October 1, 2017}} On August 28, 2017, the band announced on its website and via Instagram and Twitter posts that guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer would not be present on the tour; guitarist/keyboardist Ted Sablay and bassist/keyboardist/guitarist Jake Blanton, both of whom have toured with the band in the past, would fill in for Keuning and Stoermer respectively.{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/thekillers/status/902279938304131072 |title=pic.twitter.com/XPf6GbFUK0 |first=The |last=Killers |date=August 28, 2017 |publisher=Twitter |access-date=October 1, 2017}} The band also added more touring musicians: Robbie Connolly (keyboards, guitar), Taylor Milne (guitar, keyboards) and backing vocalists Erica Canales, Danielle Withers and Amanda Brown.
