Nice to see them perform the UK national anthem at home

[PascalRoss-yi]

They deserve a British Citizenship for their creativity.

[MaxGettler]

So wonderful hearing the crowd sing this song whilst The Killers did the backing vocals

[xtinaroma]

The drummer is the real MVP here.

Jokes aside, crazy how the energy is so palpable even from a video. Amazing production!

[Joe-olbq]

drummer absolutely holding it down against a choir of thousands

[godinflt]

The energy of 90, 000 people singing the song that came out 20 years ago makes performing it at every concert seems worth it. One of my all time favorite bands, and such a brilliant song!

[scottirvine]

This performance and crowd participation is epic and to think many of the crowd weren’t even born when this was released…sign of an absolute anthem that transcends generations

[Daveblakebeats]

1:12 As a band, you know you've made it when this happens. Nothing but respect for these guys!! GO KILLERS 🔥

[esconis]

They were so epic live, everyone was singing their hearts out and arms in the air, truly an anthem

[paramorefan]

The Killers know they've hit gold when a crowd of thousands sing one of their biggest hits back to them like Reading have....the feeling the band must feel to have this song sung back/with them must be amazing and something they must be so proud off.

[shelbyworrell]

I love when bands understand the assignment and have fun with the crowd on the song that they all wanna hear.

[tawanda]

They've always said they will forever play Mr. Brightside at 1000% in the UK. It is, after all, where it all really began for them.

[VisualRob]

I cant imagine what it must feel to have YOUR song sung by so many people. It must be a truly wonderful and powerful experience.

[Brendyn]

The crowd is literally louder then the band I love this 😂

[anonimushbosh]

Wow. Half that crowd could barely talk when this came out and they still know the words way better than I ever did!

[VideobyKB]

This band, this song, the festival, the crowd. Absolute perfect performance, with everything made for everything else. This wasn't just a performance of a song, this was a performance of a national anthem, and everyone performed it with pride.

[alexanderfrantz]

imagine having a song in your repertoire that works like this … must be every musicians wet dream 😁

[whatsupclouds]

Even though they’ve sung this a million times, they keep outdoing themselves and building that ambiance for their crowd. So touching! 🤍

[trystansanborn]

I’m not a huge fan of the band, but this song legit never gets old and I have no idea why

[CptCrash]

I've never seen a drummer work a crowd before. Well done.
