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!!

The national anthem for Great Britain played straight after England's historic win in the footy is just perfection. Bravo Killers, bravo indeed. Outstanding.

[@neiltay2002]

Not much of a Killers fan, but the way they launched into Mr Brightside at that exact moment was perfect.

[@Pokjhbvcf]

Class to be fair

[@jwhargreaves]

Anyone would think they'd rehearsed that with the England team.

[@terrygarside9536]

People had bought their tickets months ago , perhaps the last chance to see The Killers live in the UK ....like someone said previous time to get rid of the horrendous Sweet Caroline replace it with Mr Brightside for england supporters .

[@GarryJones61]

What? The audience wanted Sweet Caroline - they play a song nobody knows. Idiots

[@AndySmith-85]

​@terrygarside9536 not horrendous but time for change yeah

[@paulmdevenney]

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.

i was there! probably the best moment of my life

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 .

[@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.

[@alansimon1354]

I've never seen a band stop a concert and show a sporting event on a big screen, amazing!

[@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!

[@TriAmphontsApple]

What a Legend, respect to The Killers.

[@kevinbird1104]

The whistle, the commentary, the guitar kickin into life with everyone screaming trying to handle all the overwhelming emotions...yes wish i was there

As a day one Killers fan, this is part of what makes them so very special. They get us. They know how important moments like this are and even have the right song ready!

[@robnewton3368]

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.
