Fourth time seeing him live and he always puts on such a great show. Fantastic setlist too.

A seven song encore with Human, Mr. Brightside and All These Things That I've Done. What a show.

So here we are, final update of the tour! Three more shows added; Glasgow, Birmingham, and Dublin. Not much deviation from what was the average setlist of the tour in the first two of these shows, most notably Quiet Town returning in Birmingham after four missed shows, and Between Me and You missing two straight shows for the only time in the tour.

Now, for Dublin, we had the longest set of the tour by far, 25 songs. First 12 songs stuck to the average setlist, then Alex Cameron came onstage to play his song Runnin' Outta Luck. The main set closed with The Clock Was Tickin', apparently by request, marking its first appearance since Denver back on September 12, and only its fifth of the tour. A seven song encore with five The Killers songs included the only appearance of Human on the tour, as well as only the third of Mr. Brightside.

Some overall tour stats:

• Songs played on 100% of the shows (including ACL): Does It Ever Cross Your Mind?, Crossfire, Plans, Paradise, and Lonely Town.
• Least played BF song (excluding unreleased songs): Diggin' Up the Heart, followed by Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas and In a Heartbeat.
• Most played covers: People Who Died and Forever and Ever, Amen.
• Largest deviations from the average setlist: Salt Lake City second warm-up show, Oakland, and Denver.
• Song most played in the UK leg compared to the US leg: All These Things That I've Done (56% of the UK shows vs 9% of the US shows)
• The Red Ground was the most common opener (80%) and An American Dream the most common closer (97%); The Clock Was Tickin' closed the only show AAD did not.

Thanks to setlist.fm and its users for the information needed to make this, thanks to @ markpeterboro on X for the original idea for this type of chart, and thank you very much to everyone who followed along!

Read My Mind at 135 & Mr Brightside at 3! 😊

These shows were so special and really showcased Brandon’s talent and ability to adapt to different genres. I will remember them for a long time and hold this time dear to my heart. What are everyone’s favorite Thrasher tour memories?

I attended the Seattle show, and one of my favorite memories was when a band member had to leave the stage unexpectedly, and Brandon had to improvise in the moment. He decided to play an acoustic version of WYWY, and he sounded amazing. Fun to see him perform a little off the cuff- those are my favorite moments.

It was also so fun meeting fans from all over the world. I genuinely enjoyed every person that I met.

Hoping to spread a little positivity in the thread!

I feel like this didn’t get enough love on here when this happened so I’m posting the video 😂 His voice is kind of perfect for this

Hi all, I enjoyed Brandon Flowers' concert so much yesterday in Birmingham. However, what happened outside of the Building was disgusting.

UPDATE: I didn't think to get so many replies. Thanks to the one who showed support. I'm sad to hear that many people had to face an even more difficult situation. I hope someone does something about it. The show was great, Brandon and all the people working with him delivered a great show. I'm sure that the people in Dublin will have fun, which is all that matters.

I wrote a complaint email to O2 Academy this morning, but I also wanted to publish it here in case someone wants to do the same or was not aware of what happened.

Apologies for my English. I am not a native speaker.

Good morning,

This is a long shot but, whether you will do something or you will just reply with an apology email and will pretend to do something, someone must raise the awfulness I saw outside of the O2 Academy building, while waiting for the Brandon Flowers concert on the 24th of October 2026 in Birmingham.

While I appreciate the touch of giving free water before and during the concert, the queue system was more than awful and I was flabbergasted by what happened before the concert.

When I arrived (around 12:40 pm), one of your employees kindly told me to go to one of the three queues as I had a priority access. Only then, I realised what was happening:

- One of the fans (who arrived before me) gave each one a number. Your employee told me that it had nothing to do with the venue. I also found out that this system was agreed by your manager. 

- Each person could leave the queue for as long as they wanted. This is what the people in front of us did. One left around 3 and came back at 7, just before getting into the building.

- The queues didn't take into consideration the priority app that you recommend. Whoever came before, could do whatever they want, priority or not.The most important thing was this number written with a pen on the palm of the hand.

- Last, but not least, people started to queue wherever. Result: people who arrived hours after me entered before me without the priority app.

This is utterly wrong and unacceptable. You are one of the best music companies in the UK, and I haven't spent more than £60 per ticket, driven 3 hours and queued for 7 hours and a half to find myself far from the stage because of this lack of organisation or mafia system I saw yesterday. 

My husband and I have 2 x Upper Circle tickets for Brandon Flowers’ Dublin gig on Tuesday. We would love to swap for 2 x Standing tickets, and will happily pay the difference of course! Let me know if anyone is interested in swapping. 😊

The traffic cone is a nice touch.

Hi All,

I was due to fly over today to see the man in concert but something came up last week which has grounded me.

So I'm going to hopefully make someone's night and do my good deed for the year.

I bought the ticket on Ticketmaster, and as far as I can see, I can transfer it. I believe you need an account.

I don't know the in's and out's of it all so all I ask is you use it as expected, and not resell it or anything like.

Just reply to the comment with your favourite Brandon song and why, not to pit everyone against one another but just so I can send someone as close as possible to myself - so I can imagine myself being there :)

I'll DM you if picked. Looking a the form l'll need your name and email according to the form - just a heads up.

Good luck, as soon as I finish crying in about 10 mins I'll check back in

EDIT: Yes its only one ticket, lots of friends were up for it when I said Brandon, then when I told them it was for his country album they all quickly lost enthusiasm

Update: gone!

I got a free ticket for Brandon from Spud58008 the other day but the person it was for can no longer go! Send me a message and I can transfer it over. First one to message can have. Its standing 😀

The recording quality is fantastic! Brandon sounds fantastic on this track 🤘

Outstanding gig. It was great to hear him mention local lads Franz Ferdinand. What a showman and musician.

How do people feel about this? I completely get it but personally I’d rather he didn’t play any at all. This isn’t The Killers - the other guys aren’t there. So disappointed that he played All These Things I’ve Done tonight and I missed out on Between Me and You. Incredible, as always, but I came for the solo material!

I posted something on IG discussing the album art for Sawdust (I’ve previously shared breakdowns for Hot Fuss and Sam’s Town if you happened to catch those).

I’m sure this group is familiar with the details already but still might enjoy checking it out if you’re into that sort of thing. I think the visual side of music doesn’t get as much love as it deserves. And Sawdust especially has always stood out to me has having a really intriguing album cover - plus it’s a banger album. Thanks!
