Electric Picnic 2023: Brandon Flowers and his bandmates close this year’s festival with a bang

Brandon Flowers tells a packed main arena on Sunday night. “But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed. If you came here tonight looking for rock’n’roll, you came to the right place.”

Few in the crowd would argue with that: the Las Vegas band open with a bang, beginning their headline set with Mr Brightside. By the time they perform Smile Like You Mean It, the audience is in full swing. Human, in particular, has the crowd singing along at the top of their lungs. Halfway through their set, the charismatic Flowers, who’s wearing a sequinned velvet blazer, brings out Mike Scott of The Waterboys to play The Whole of the Moon with the band.Electric Picnic: Brandon Flowers and The Killers on the main stage on Sunday night.
