Amazing night at RAH. Was lucky and got a setlist 😊

Idea taken from @ markpeterboro on X.

The first two shows of the UK leg of the tour (Bournemouth and London) took place without much deviation from the average setlist. The Red Ground returned as show opener after WTFLV opened the two Vegas shows. Both Bournemouth and London got WYWY in the cover slot, which in the past few shows has seen it more often than not replaced. Not much else to report! The next update will probably be after the York show on the 21st, which should be the second-to-last update unless we get another leg announced.

Who’s going this evening? What do you think the queue will be like?

Direct hits was funnily enough my introduction to The Killers because I heard Just Another Girl and Shot At The Night on my youtube recommended before I ever heard Mr. B. Even now, those two songs are some of my favorites by this band (especially just another girl), and that makes me wonder what it would theoretically be like if direct hits was a full album (with the killers’ average of 11 tracks and 3 singles, 2 of which being the two already-existing direct hits originals). Do you think those two songs would chart better with an album backing them? What would the 3rd single be like? How would the album change in style after the response to Battle Born?

I’m compiling a playlist of songs Brandon has recommended in his various interviews throughout the Thrasher era press tour. Did I miss any?

Let's play a game. If you were to create your own Direct Hits, which songs would you include? You can include 16 songs plus a bonus track (a standard tracklist for a double vinyl record).My personal one.

1-Jenny was a friend of mine

2-On Top

3-All these things that i've done

4-bling

5-the river is wild

6-when you were young

7-Sweet talk

8-A dustland fairytale

9-Spaceman

10-This is your life

11-Runaways

12-here with me

13-Run for cover

14-tyson vs douglas

15-Cody

16-Pressure Machine

Bonus track : Daddy's eyes

Long shot, but I missed out on tickets when they first went on sale. With it being such a small venue and demand being so high, they disappeared in no time.

I'd love to take my daughter. She's actually the reason my love for The Killers was reignited. We watched their Glastonbury set together back in 2019, and even as a 2-year-old she was bouncing away beside me as the hits blasted out. Since then, The Killers and Brandon have been a daily soundtrack in our house for her and my two boys. From the classics to the newer material, it all gets played. Thrasher has become a staple of the school run the last couple of months!. We also have a 4-month-old daughter who'll be getting the same treatment!

We saw The Killers in Dublin two years ago, which was extra special as it was 17 years after the previous time I saw them at the RDS. Ever since then, we've been hoping to do it all again.

So, if anyone ends up unable to make this show, whether it's last minute or otherwise, I'd be incredibly grateful if you reached out. I can promise the tickets would be going to a very appreciative home. 😊

Many years ago, I created a profile called Brandon vs. Britney as a bit of harmless fun, since some people thought Brandon and Britney from the Old Testament looked alike. After even receiving death threats, I deleted the profile. But Twitter users asked for us to come back, so here we are! Here's the link, in case you enjoyed it too.

We're on Twitter too
