The Killers in London watch England go to the Euro 2024 final then play Mr Brightside - Full version

The Killers playing in London on 10/07/24 paused their show to watch England go through to the Euro 2024 final and immediately followed with Mr Brightside

[@williamchapple8886]

A band that understands their audience like no one else

[@drejam2002]

Their audience went to a concert instead of watching our biggest match since the Italy final. Fair enough, they can do whatever they like, but the people that went to the concert obviously aren't really bothered about the football.

[@juniusvindex769]

More like stage managers choice, than the band....... That said, the killers are an epic band and are bigger in the uk than than the states. A lot of their early videos were filmed in London and Brandon was always a gent at his concerts. He doesn't have an ego.

[@anya381]

So many other bands have done it

[@nsbmiller]

@@drejam2002 erm, remind me when they would have bought the tickets.... with the price of O2 concert tickets I somehow doubt they'd have just decided not to bother to attend because of a football match!!

I gotta say, their timing on picking up the start of Mr Brightside after the whistle was sublime. That little pause for breath, then into a big feelgood song.

[@1msmoona]

I am still on a MASSIVE high from this. Had resigned myself to just hearing the result after. Unforgettable life moment. And Mr Brightside straight after. CLASS. I love them even more now.

[@garypeakpt]

This is why they are one of the greatest! It’s not just another show or crowd for them. They care about the people and actually live in the moment with them. A lot of artists these days are just in ground hog day ticking each gig off to get to the next. Respect to these guys!

This is a Memory that will last Everyone There a Lifetime. Well done the Killers you nailed it thank you.

[@gailpenn7161]

Ok firstly the killers are my sort of band but I was there with my hubby I got him tickets for crimbo,last yr but I can honestly say that was one of the best experiences of my life watching 20,00 plus people raising their hands as the whistle went in complete unison it was good of the band to do that but boy it was everything and more looking round the arena at that moment gave me chills and I may have got a bit emotional .

That’s very generous of The Killers and beautifully choreographed. The Rolling Stones didn’t do that at Wembley Stadium , July 4 1990 when England played West Germany @ Italia90. We were relying on fans in the directors boxes signalling down the score when it went to penalties. Weird when a cheer went up mid song, then found out we’d lost. Quite surreal.

[@essbeenz]

That’s just so classy from the band. 20 years in and they’re still smashing it.

Fair play to Flowers , he’s a real Musician, Front Man , singer and people person , he knows how to make the crowd go wild , also love how he brings the drummers on stage and gives them a chance to shine, all around genius , hope the Killers keep it up 👍🏻
