When asked about supporting The Killers, Zebra & Giraffe's Greg Carlin said: "I am so excited that we've been chosen to support the Killers on their South African tour. They're one of my favourite bands and it'll be an honour to share the stage with them. I can't think of a better way to end the year than to play with one of the biggest bands in the world!"
