The Killers by Olivia Bee
The Killers will be among those part of Firefly Festival’s return to The Woodlands of Dover, Delaware.
Firefly Festival has unveiled its line-up for September 23rd-26th, with Megan Thee Stallion, Cage The Elephant, Phoebe Bridgers, Band Of Horses, Khruangbin and Arlo Parks some of the names on there.
Those artists are due at the event along with headliners Billie Eilish, Tame Impala and Lizzo, a position also taken up by The Killers as they look to finally press on with last summer’s Imploding The Mirage album.
“Flowers too likes to let us weigh him up for the reluctant confidante he’s always been, especially on the titular closer which opens with the genius-like couplet, ‘I was a timid Rockwellian boy/She was tattooed and ready to deploy’,” our review reads.
“Arguably though, despite all the pretence of wanting to raise or soothe an army with all their theatre, The Killers still work best when hanging at the edge of a random dancefloor.”
“To underline this, arguably Imploding The Mirage’s most absorbing track is the sparring funk of Fire In Bone, a song which might just set them back on the road back to square one, 2004.”
