The Killers made their epic return to the UK this week with a warm-up gig at O2 Academy Sheffield, the city they called "their spiritual home".
Brandon Flowers and co have been waiting to tour their Imploding The Mirage album for years now, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now they are finally set to play mammoth stadium dates on this side of the pond.
Ahead of their gigs at the likes of London's Emirates Stadium and Scotland's Falkirk Stadium, the band announced an intimate warm up gig in Sheffield, making their first live date in the country since 2019.
Find out what went down and get the full setlist below.

The Sheffield crowd were ecstatic to have Brandon and co back on their stage, singing along to the likes of When You Were Young, Jenny Was A Friend of Mine and of course Mr. Brightside, which was played early on in the set.
After 20 songs, the band left the stage for a brief time only to return for an encore of Spaceman, Human and Midnight Show, before ending their set on the anthem All These Things That I've Done.
