The big ones...


So after a late night of programming and a few hours sleep it was back to site for the headline show at Reading festival which is the last major festival The Killers have left to headline in the UK. We played here in 2005 when they were second on the bill to the Pixies so to come back as the only "POP/MAINSTREAM" headliner this year (with Metallica and Rage as the other headline acts) is quite a big deal.
Also these are the first Killers shows in the UK for over a year.

But first there was a great supporting bill on the main stage that day with

Editors


We Are Scientists

Raconteurs


Bloc Party


Amongst the bands on earlier in the day before The Killers took the stage.
Here is a couple of videos from the show with our funky new pyro and confetti that we used for the night





The show went really well and next day it was off to Leeds for a repeat performance the following night.
So thats it done, 3 Killers shows that grew into a month is over and its homeward bound for a little break while the band return to the studio to finish on the new album which i believe is now titled "DAY & AGE"

For me its 2 weeks off before i return to the pop world with Alicia Keys for a couple of weeks ad we wait and see when the killers thing starts up again.

Take soon
