Artists/Line-up

The Killers

Cool fourpiece from Las Vegas who cite Duran Duran and UK New Wave music as their influences, they're known best for hits Somebody Told Me, and Mr. Brightside. Altogether now, "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier"...

They made my weekend! Vegas Vegas Vegas. The highlight has to be Bran don's squeakily tight trousers - time for a cold shower. The best band by far - it was a true spectacular. Love it!!!

Kate
I was there and just so disappointed. Perfect view of the stage, not far back but no sound. Definitelly not a good show when you can hear the crowd over the band. The Killers are one of my favourites and I had been really looking forward to it - so disappointed I could cry.

jonny
shit hot!!!!!!!

Martyn
The Killers are Over the top and over-rated, Arctic Monkeys were superb Friday night

scott mills
"amazzzin"

Emperor's new clothes I'm afraid. The music was okay but the front man spoiled the gig; he was absolutely toneless. Don't get swept along with the hype folks. Be objective.

Nndy
To be honest I think that the Killers were a bad booking for headliners. They don't have the universal appeal needed for such a massive stage infront of such a massive croud. I wasn't convinced by that shiny bloke's voice either.

Becci
The BEST performance at Glasto this year. Blew other bands out the water! I'm totally going next time! x

Kev Standen
Unbelievable set by The Killers! They really know how to put on a show and the songs were played out to perfection with great use of visuals!Stunning session.

Jayne McLoughlin
Absolutely Fantastic!1.1/2 hours of pure entertainment

Simon
Awsome but what was the song that they sang not on the 2 albums.reminded me of a Joy Divison song ?

Rachelradiostar
It was amazing - WHERE IS THE COVERARGE on this site????????????

DMcG1873
FAO: WEsIt was a cover of a Joy Division song called 'Shadowplay'.

alison
the best thing i have ever witnessed

StevieB
just watched The Killers set as live on BBC2 with my 11 year-old son, we've been blown away by the band, fabulous performance, confident yet humble, grandiose & intimate - wow! Oh and the highlight for me, the cover of Joy Division's "Shadowplay" - sorry kids, NOT new material by the Vegas boys, but a brilliantly-pitched & beautifully presented homage to one of their biggest influences. Magical stuff. Wish I'd been there.

Chrismyarse
Ah I was there! So good, have come home for a lovely shower. This performance was my glastonbury, worth every vegas penny spent!

Rebekka

sorry I wasn't able to be there, living in US. Saw The Killers in Florida in April and they were fantastic. Sound every bit as good as their CDs. Such talent. Not enough pictures of them in this event though and I can't find any mvies. Maybe find some on You Tube.

Class performance...stuck between them and Arcade Fire as to best gig of the weekend...shame the beeb didnt seem to rate it as highly as the crowd..hardly got a mention afterwards, same as the Fire's gig...or do I have strange music taste ?
