Flowers said prior to the performance: “Jo Whiley, she’s always championed us since the very beginning – she’s here tonight… should have a jubilee, right? She said some wonderful things about this next song and she requested it tonight – if you don’t like it blame her. It’s called ‘Pressure Machine.”

The Killers are currently on a UK tour and are performing another London date this evening. The group played a small, intimate show in Sheffield last month, which marked their first gig on UK soil since 2019.

According to NME, Flowers expressed a great degree of gratitude to be back performing internationally: “Oh, man – it’s such a strange thing that it’s been three years… This feels so familiar but when you look at the days… it’s been a thousand days. It’s wild. I hope you can tell that we’re genuine though when we talk about our love for this place. Man… I mean, you changed our lives! And we do love coming here – this is our spiritual home. You took these sentimental Americans in, and we won’t forget it.”

The Killers released their seventh studio album Pressure Machine last year, which is a concept record based on Flowers’ life growing up in Utah. The album saw the group collaborating with indie superstar Phoebe Bridgers on the track “Runaway Horses” which you can listen to down below. The record received largely favourable reviews from critics and was widely adored by fans. In a four-star review, NME said of the record: “not only is it a project we we may never have heard otherwise, but a deeply satisfying entry into their catalogue. It’s a homecoming of discreet intentions, not the pompous heroes return they’re likely used to – the modesty and subtlety suits them.”

You can listen to Pressure Machine on all streaming services, and physical copies can be purchased here. The Killers are currently on tour in the UK, and will be playing a series of dates until June 14^th. To snag any remaining tickets, you can visit this link here.
