The Killers set to perform new material at British Summer Time Hyde Park

The Killers will have new material to perform when they play British Summer Time Hyde Park on July 8.

The 'Smile Like You Mean It' rock group's drummer, Ronnie Vannucci Jr., has revealed they are nearing completion of their first record since 2012's 'Battle Born', and although it may not be ready for the festival held at London's Hyde Park, they will definitely have some new songs to share with their fans.

Speaking to NME magazine, Ronnie said: "It's sounding good.

"We have a problem with taking two steps forward and one step back, so that makes it take longer. We keep asking ourselves: 'What does a four- piece band do? How do you keep it fresh?' It's a constant exercise in experimentation."

The group, also comprised of frontman Brandon Flowers, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer, are perfectionists when it comes to their music and want to make sure the new stuff is out of their comfort zone.

He explained: "We're trying to arrive at something we're all just a little bit uncomfortable with. When everyone is slightly uncomfortable, then we know we're there.

"We're just pushing it in different directions, then bringing it back and trying another direction."

Asked if they'll have new music for the summer show, he added: "By then we'll have some new s**t for y'all."
