The Killers Perform 'This Charming Man' feat. Johnny Marr at Glastonbury

Venue: Glastonbury Festival Location: Pilton, England, United Kingdom Date: June 30, 2019

By June 30, 2019, when The Killers performed at Glastonbury Festival, they were promoting their fifth studio album, "Wonderful Wonderful," which was released in September 2017. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, featuring darker themes and more intricate arrangements compared to their earlier works. The performance at Glastonbury also showcased the band's live prowess, as they captivated the audience with their engaging presence. An interesting highlight from this particular set was their rendition of "This Charming Man," originally by The Smiths, in collaboration with Johnny Marr, the band's iconic guitarist. This connection added a layer of nostalgia and excitement, bridging The Killers’ legacy with the alt-rock history of the '80s, which they have often drawn influence from. This performance further cemented The Killers' status as one of the leading acts in modern rock.
