The Killers
September 22
Sound Academy, Toronto

The Killers are back on tour, finally, after four long years since their last release. Battle Born is the groups fourth album, and if you haven’t checked it out yet you most certainly should. This weekend they’re taking over the sound academy, and there are straggler tickets left available, so hurry!

UFC 152: Benavidez vs. Johnson
September 22
Air Canada Centre, Mattemy Athletic Centre
—
The ACC is hosting the latest UFS face-off between 125-pound fighters this Saturday. A ticket ain’t cheap, but available. If you aren’t up for spending the necessary moolah to actually see the fight, then come to the Mattemy Athletic Centre this Friday at 3:10, for the UFC weigh in. UFC superstars, such as Jon “Bones” Jones, are going to be there, and you can ask them questions!
