Brandon Flowers and co. played a huge show at Festival Estéreo Picnic in Bogotá’s Parque Simón Bolívar on Saturday night (March 21), and welcomed Butler onto the stage during their encore.
“We’ve got a little treat for everyone,” Flowers told the crowd. “One of our favourite bands is Arcade Fire. It’s a hell of a thing, you know, when you’re putting records out and you’re starting your band, and you’ve got these other people that are coming out and they have similar influences, and they’re so good and it frustrates you but it also makes you want to be better. Anyway, that’s what Win Butler does for us.”
The Killers had already covered Arcade Fire’s ‘The Suburbs’ earlier in the show, and with Butler alongside them, they played ‘Rebellion (Lies)’, from 2004 debut album ‘Funeral’, followed by The Killers’ own ‘When You Were Young’, the lead single from their second album ‘Sam’s Town’ in 2006. The Killers then rounded out the show with ‘Mr. Brightside’.

Win Butler, meanwhile, announced his split from Régine Chassagne in October, after 22 years of marriage.
