'The Killers produce knockout performance a stone's throw from where it all began'

When frontman Brandon Flowers says thank you for being there for The Killers – he’s talking about much more than the packed crowd at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday night.

London, and more specifically the Dublin Castle pub three miles down the road in Camden, is where The Killers finally got their break in 2003 – and the rest is history.

“We knew we were good, but we couldn’t understand why America didn’t get it,” Flowers says during The Killers’ powerful and joyous set. “We hoped you would get it. You got it and it changed our lives. Thank you so much.”
