The Killers

[jparx]

They took a lot of flak in the build up, but holy balls did they nail that set. They played out of their skin and smashed it beyond my highest expectations. Wasn't even convinced I'd see them until about an hour before the set started, but glad I did. What an incredible set.

Thought they deserved their own thread based off this evening. Curious if anyone else went along and how it came across on TV.  

[Matt42]

Looked fab on tv but chems took the edge

[Bennykill]

Spent most of the show really enjoying it but thinking I should have been at the Chemical Brothers. Then the encore happens and any doubts about my decision disappeared. What a show it was. 

[filmguy]

Love them or hate them you can't deny the effort that they put in! and the special guests - wow!

[Homersexual]

Couldn't afford to go this year, so I've been watching on the telly. I honestly didn't think The Killers could best their set on the John Peel stage last year. Well... Holy shit. That's me told. They were INCREDIBLE. Johnny Marr and The Pet Shop Boys were a delicious icing on what was already a fantastic cake.

Those of you that were there to witness it in person: you lucky sods.

[henry bear]

Didn’t do much for me. Great ‘show’ (as to be expected) but thought they were a bit boring. So pretty much as expected 

[Peroni]

Was tremendous.

Loved loved loved it.

Was close to sound stage and with the fireworks, confetti and flares I was having an amazing time.

I'm working a gate where I heard the whole set so all boxes ticked but thought it was a bit rubbish Johnny waited until that set to do this charming man

[kalifire]

I wasn’t there. I regret nothing. 

[Walter Sobchak]

Watched it on the Tele, was ace until the pet shop boys appeared. Not a fan of these covers the headliners do tbh.

 

Looked much better than 2007 when the sound was crap.

[Hugh Jass]

I was there and absolutely loved it!

[Riggins]

I was there and maybe my favourite headline set so far. Just jubilant and so many bangers, done bloody brilliantly. Nailed it. 

[ticketboy69]

We were there and loved it. Not a weak song in the set and they sounded incredible. We didn’t stop dancing! 

[harderfaster]

JOHNNY JOHNNY JOHNNY FUCKING MARR!! 

Yeah that was pretty incredible. 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Was very torn before festival between Killers and Kate Tempest. Went to Killers, and what a performance. They were incredible, the energy and effort was unbelievable. Don't know how it came across on TV, but so glad I went now. Loved it 

[st dan]

Hands down the best Pyramid headliner I’ve seen on TV - everything about the performance came across so well. 

[Hutchmaster]

Initially went with the mindset I'd leave after 45 minutes and make my way to Hot Chip at The Park. Was hooked and ended up staying the whole set; what a performance!

[Hugh Jass]

Stayed till the end but managed to dash straight away and catch the last ten minutes of Chems.

Same!

[Jamesthedrake]

Yeah I thought that was absolutely incredible and I’m by no means a Killers fan. Just had a great mix of singable tunes, cracking visuals and a buzzing atmosphere. Lost my mind when PSB and Johnny Marr came on. 

[HeyPorter]

Stunning set. My 6 year niece who knew nothing about them was blown away, her first Glastonbury headliners. 

[Dronx]

Watched on the tv at home, incredible set.

[yosoyyoberdi]

I wasn't convinced at all with the Killers when they were announced but as this is my first Glastonbury I wanted to see at least one headliner at the Pyramid... What a show! Absolutely loved it. Amazing atmosphere when Marr joined for The Charming Man. You can still hear people talking about it this morning.

I was at The Killers, they were amazing. This is my 5th time here and they are the best headliner set I’ve seen. I’m heavily biased as seeing them headline the Pyramid Stage is a dream for me but I genuinely think the set was incredible.

 

Brandon Flowers had the crown eating out of the palm of his hand, the tracks were all belters and leaving Mr Brightside to the end made the place go crazy! The atmosphere there was incredible. Going up on my friends shoulders during Mr Brightside, turning round and seeing the sea of people  is one my best moments of my life. That whole set was to be honest, I’m even emotional thinking about it now.

 

I am so happy I saw them last night, I’ll never forget it. I need to thank everyone that helped me get a place here after missing out on a ticket, you are all incredible.
