The Killers are a Las Vegas-based four-piece who formed in 2003, featuring the talents of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vanucci, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has received countless accolades for their artistic achievement, including multiple Grammy nominations, American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, NME Awards and more. Their first album, Hot Fuss, was released in 2004 to worldwide acclaim. The album contained the singles “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me,” in addition to the anthemic song “All These Things That I’ve Done,” which has since been referenced by the likes of U2 and Coldplay. The band toured for two years straight behind Hot Fuss, playing more than four-hundred shows, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin to work on the follow-up album with legendary producers Alan Moulder and Flood. The result, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled Sam’s Town, was released in 2006 and spent forty-two weeks on the Billboard Top 200. A b-sides collection entitled Sawdust was released in 2007, followed by their third studio album, Day & Age, which was released to widespread critical praise in 2008, anchored by massive single “Human.” The Killers released Battle Born in September 2012, which saw them expanding their world tour into countries they’ve never visited before, and finally were honored to perform at the world-renowned Wembley Arena, one of the most monumental and significant shows of their career. After a decade of making music, in November 2013, The Killers released a “Best Of” collection, Direct Hits, which featured two incredible new songs alongside classics from the band’s revered catalogue. The band, who have sold over twenty-five million albums worldwide, and headlined all of the world’s top festivals (Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury), will release their newest studio album, Wonderful Wonderful, in September 2017.

extraordinary concert, great public and venue for this type of concert
absolutely awesome...had the crowd going the entire time..and bonus...the weather..finally
I am a huge Killers fan and have gone to all the different concerts they have had in TO. This one was by far their best. I think the open air venue provided a more intimate setting then the Air Canada Centre could have. The visuals were simply spectacular. It was like having one giant screen behind the band changing colours and setting the mood for every song. The energy levels were peaked from the intial song and never let up. A group worth seeing live if you are a huge concert fan.
Unfortunately I arrived late at the event, missing The Killer's first few songs and missing Wolfmother entirely due to the CNE. The traffic to get to the venue was terrible plus I had to park about 25 minutes away because the Molson Amphitheatre parking lot was full of CNE cars! It would have been nice if Ticketmaster or the Molson Amphitheatre gave a heads up. That aside The Killers far exceeded my expectations. The songs flowed well together. The crowd seemed really into it. There were lots of lighting effects, lots of fireworks, and my personal favorite - a confetti cannon! The best part was the last song before the finale. Brandon Flowers told the story of how The Killers got together which led to them playing Mr. Brightside (debatably the most popular song of the night) immediately followed by All These Things I've Done.
The Killers could've easily chosen to focus on their latest album, Day & Age. Their last album was probably their best. From that perspective, the set list that wasn't too heavily focused on the current album was a huge relief and surprise. The whole performance was fantastic and the set was great as well. By the way, wolf mother was not good. I'm a little surprised they couldn't find a better local band.
My favourite band in my favourite theatre what a perfect end to the summer! The Killers are the best there is!
do not waste you time and money on this show. long... boring... dead... lame... need i say more?
