‘Mr Brightside’ by The Killers is a bonafide British classic. Sure, The Killers aren’t British, but it’s a fresher's week anthem, wedding crowd-pleaser and pub belter all rolled into one. That song unites all generations from all walks of life, almost as though its lyrics are implanted in our brains from birth. In fact, it has spent a total of 382 weeks (nearly seven years) on and off in the UK charts.
Always wanted to see ‘Mr Brightside’ in the flesh? Now’s your chance. The American band has announced a bunch of live UK shows to celebrate their latest album ‘Rebel Diamonds’, which a compilation of all of their greatest hits from the last two decades including ‘Mr. Brightside’ (obviously), ‘Jenny Was a Friend of Mine’ and ‘When We Were Young’.
Here's how you can secure a chance to belt out ‘it was only a kiss’ with The Killers themselves.
