Ten years ago , on 16 September 2003 , leaving four young men from their home in Las Vegas for the first time , to play a concert in London: On the poster announcing the evening in Camden Town in Dublin Castle , were three other band names to read about their name. It was the very first concert, which should give The Killers outside the United States.
Incredible amount has happened since then : The Killers have sold more than 20 million albums in the last decade , they were headlining the biggest festivals in the world , have occurred in the White House and on the road have cleared countless awards . Each of the four studio albums that The Killers have released since 2004 , brought several hit singles out which are some of the biggest anthems of the last decade , and only this summer, when they moved to headline from festival to festival once again , they made something that is in front of them only very, very few musicians have succeeded : they played at Wembley Stadium in front of 70,000 people . With all of their acclaimed shows - starting with its this year's headlining performance at Lollapalooza to that Wembley highlight - they have ultimately only reinforces what millions of people already knew long ago : that The Killers have writtensome of the catchiest and biggest songs the last ten years - and you can expect in the future more of the same from them!

Dimitri Kechagias review: One thing is certain for The Killers career so far. Their unforgetable melodies, deep and thoughtful playful lyrics and the incredible unique performance by Brandon Flowers have influence the music scene and have change it in a way as well cause many singers particularly in the EDM scene tried to copy the way that Brandon sings the lyrics and recreate "The Killers" atmosphere in their tracks. What is also noteworthy is that The Killers worlwide hits have been remixed with big success by the finest producers including Sander van Doorn & Armin van Buuren. Now its the turn of the beloved Calvin Harris to add his epic prog house touch to it and he delivers the goods big time. If you don't know When You Were Young maybe you could even believe that is the brand new Calvin Harris featuring The Killers. The top notch producer add his pumping powerful basslines, his punchy danceable beats and most importantly the epic synths that will raise the hair from your back and maybe can make you cry a little. Its epic festival house at its best and will definitely get many plays on radio stations and clubs. Highly recommended. Love iT
