Orlando, Fl., September 10, 2009 – Hard Rock International is bringing its worldwide Ambassadors of Rock Tour to Buenos Aires! Hard Rock has partnered with Nokia to bring award-winning alternative rock band The Killers to GEBA Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires as part of Hard Rock’s 2009 Ambassadors of Rock Tour, a global concert series featuring top artists and bands. On Friday, November 27, 2009, The Killers, currently touring the globe, will take the stage and perform hits from the band's third studio album Day & Age, which earned a number six on the Billboard 200 album chart and topped the music charts in the U.K. and Ireland. This marks the second time The Killers will perform on Hard Rock’s Ambassadors of Rock Tour, following a stellar performance for a sold-out crowd in London’s Hyde Park in June.

“The Killers performed an amazing set at our Ambassadors of Rock Tour kick-off in London at Hard Rock Calling,” said Sean Dee, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Hard Rock International. “And as Ambassadors of Rock continues to tour the globe, we are thrilled to have them join the lineup once again!”
