The Killers have paid homage to Chicago with a cover of Material Issue’s ‘Very First Lie’ at Lollapalooza 2024.
Brandon Flowers and co took over the T-Mobile stage last night (August 3) serving as the headliners for the third day of Lollapalooza. They kicked off their set with their hits ‘Somebody Told Me’, ‘When You Were Young’, ‘Jenny Was a Friend of Mine’ and ‘Smile Like You Mean It’.
Towards the middle of their set, Flowers took a moment to talk to the crowd and share that the Chicagoan band Material Issue served as an influence for the band and proceeded to pay homage to the Windy City where the annual music bash is held with a cover of Material Issue’s ‘Very First Lie’. Check it out below.
The Killers ended their set with performances of ‘Read My Mind’, ‘Caution’, ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’, ‘Human’ and their 2004 hit track ‘Mr Brightside’ – which recently became the UK’s official biggest single of all time yet to reach Number One.
