The Killers kicked off the Champions League Final with a stadium show in Budapest
Las Vegas band's pre-match set preceded Arsenal versus Paris St. Germain at the Puskás Aréna.
Performing in front of millions watching worldwide, The Killers brought their headline set to the Puskás Aréna for the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi, staged just before Arsenal FC met Paris St. Germain in club football's biggest fixture of the season.
Running through a selection of stadium-ready material, the band aired 'When You Were Young', 'Human', 'All These Things That I've Done' and 'Mr Brightside' during their pre-match slot, with the show designed around bold visuals and choreography that drew on the group's Las Vegas heritage, turning the pitch into a neon-lit production.
The performance was introduced by a cameo from Sir David Beckham, who appeared on screens to address supporters before dropping a coin into a jukebox, cueing a vinyl of The Killers into motion to launch proceedings.
Two decades on from their 2004 debut 'Hot Fuss', The Killers have shifted more than 35 million albums, with multi-platinum tracks such as 'Mr. Brightside', 'When You Were Young' and 'Human' to their name. Work on an eighth studio album has been confirmed, alongside further global live plans.
The Kick Off Show has been a Pepsi-presented fixture since 2016, sitting within the brand's Pepsi Football Nation platform, which connects football culture with music programming around the showpiece event.
