It takes an incredibly confident band to play their biggest hit as the second song into their setlist, but that's exactly what the Killers did - ‘Somebody Told Me’ was belted out unexpectedly as their second track.

Frontman Brandon Flowers has that rare ability to hold an audience with his stage presence. He definitely put 110% into the performance, which the audience lapped up and in return were dancing and singing along to their tracks.

The Killers demonstrated that you don’t have to be the headliners to be the best band on the bill! Surely after this performance, a headlining slot beckons for next year?
