In the light of their upcoming, highly anticipated fifth album, Wonderful Wonderful, the band introduced its lead single, ‘The Man’, for the Glastonbury audience (hear it below). ‘The Man’ is The Killer’s first new song in five years.
And, of course, The Killers couldn’t have deprived their longtime fans of the beloved hits such as ‘Somebody Told Me’, ‘Mr. Brightside’ and ‘When You Were Young’. See the whole set list from Glastonbury below.

As the new album, Wonderful Wonderful, is nearing its September release, frontman Brandon Flowers has been asked a lot about the music direction of the new album. And now fans got even more excited when the vocalist made a reference to listeners’ favorite, album Sam’s Town:
“Playing those gigs, I realized how cohesive an idea [Sam’s Town] was. That reminded us that we really want to make a record here, not just slap a bunch of songs together… I think we’ve done it again on this album.” (via AltPress)
Glastonbury Festival 2017 took place on June 21-25 and saw the performances of Radiohead and Foo Fighters as the main rock headliners, while Ed Sheeran lit up the stage for more mainstream music fans.
