I can't remember the first time I saw The Killers live... It seems like they played every Oxegen Festival ever! The feeling you get standing in a field singing "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier" with 40,000 other festival goers is very hard to beat!
It had been a while since I last saw them, so when the chance to see them play in Dublin came up recently, I jumped at the chance!
You know what you're going to get from the Killers, a high energy show filled with hits and banter and this gig was no different. The crowd sang every note and, maybe it was the beautiful blue skies and sunshine, but it was glorious.
Earlier in the day, Franz Ferdinand opened proceedings. It had been a very long time since I saw them live, a very very log time. I'm not overly familiar with their newer material, but you couldn't help sing along when you knew the words! I was glad I got in early enough to catch their set and hopefully I'll get to see them again soon enough.
