The Killers made their Wednesday show at O2 Arena in London, UK, one to remember, pausing their performance to show the final moments of England's Euro 2024 semifinal win.

Video from the July 10 concert finds the band broadcasting the soccer football match to their crowd, counting down the final moments of England's 2–1 victory over the Netherlands to advance to the Euro 2024 final on Sunday (July 14), in which they'll play Spain.

After the final whistle sounded, white and red confetti cannons were discharged as the Killers launched into "Mr. Brightside," the Hot Fuss setlist staple that is also the UK's third biggest-selling song of all time.

The band shared shots of the moment on social media with the caption, "Tonight we played for England."

Later this year, the Killers will play select dates to mark the 20th anniversary of Hot Fuss, including back-to-back Toronto shows.

In 2023, the band delivered hits compilation Rebel Diamonds.
