The Killers Delight Fans by Showing England’s Euro 2024 Semi-Final on Big Screen
In a heartwarming gesture, US rock band The Killers surprised thousands of fans at London’s O2 arena on Wednesday by showing the climax of England’s Euro 2024 semi-final match on the big screen. As the arena erupted at the final whistle, the band further ramped up the celebrations by immediately launching into their euphoric anthem, Mr. Brightside.
Fans were ecstatic at the unexpected turn of events, with one attendee expressing their delight at the perfect combination of a live concert and a thrilling football match. The band’s frontman, Brandon Flowers, was seen at the front of the stage watching the final minutes with the fans, creating an electrifying atmosphere.
Drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr even re-emerged wearing an England shirt, solidifying the band’s support for the national team. The Killers took to social media to express their excitement, stating, “Tonight we played for England!” The band’s gesture was met with overwhelming praise and gratitude from fans who will forever cherish the unique experience.
The Killers’ show at the O2 was part of their UK tour, with the band set to perform at a festival in Madrid on Saturday. However, they will not have a gig on Sunday, avoiding a clash with England’s final match against Spain in Euro 2024.
Comedian John Bishop also made adjustments to his schedule, moving his show in Wolverhampton to the afternoon on Sunday to accommodate fans who want to watch the final. Other major gigs scheduled for Sunday evening in England have also made changes to avoid conflicting with the highly anticipated match.
With millions of fans tuning in to watch the semi-final, the final promises to be a TV ratings winner, with record-breaking viewership expected. The excitement and anticipation surrounding the final match have reached a fever pitch, as England’s journey in Euro 2024 captivates the nation.
