The Killers Cover The Kinks’ “Come Dancing” During Dublin Show

According to Stereogum, alternative legends, The Killers, recently covered The Kink’s song “Come Dancing,” during show in Dublin. The show is part of a bigger series of shows celebrating 20 years of their famous album Hot Fuss, which features their classics “Mr. Brightside,” “Somebody Told Me,” “All These Things That I’ve Done” and many more. The performance of the 1982 classic is a part of a long series of surprising twists in setlists during The Killer’s current tour. The cover, thankfully captured by fans, was a wonderful surprise during the Dublin show.

The varying setlists during The Killer’s Rebel Diamonds 2024 Tour, feature throwbacks like “Exitlude,” that was played the previous night, for the first time in seven years. As well as hits like “Pressure Machine” and “Bones,” which were played live for the first time in two years. The third night of the tour featured a live rendition of their single, “Battle Born” for the first time in eleven years and cover of Elvis Presley’s “Are You Lonesome Tonight?.”  

Most recently, to add to the fun, The Killers also did a cover of Erasure’s “A Little Respect,” and played their song “Andy, You’re A Star” for the first time since 2018. 

Furthermore, The Killers were supposed to headline the Sudden Little Thrills festival this year, but unfortunately, the festival was cancelled last month. Nevertheless, the long legacy of The Killers, and their non-stop legendary performances, show that updates on this band cannot be missed.
