Everyone’s tuning into soccer (err, football) this season. Even your favorite band. Last night (July 10), during a performance at the O2 Arena in London, The Killers paused their show to display the final moments of the Euro 2024 semifinal.

During the semifinal, England made a 2 to 1 triumph against the Netherlands, which means England has advanced to play Spain in Sunday’s final.

In time with the win, red and white confetti shot from the stage. And of course, an epic win must be followed by an equally epic song. Following the mini ticker tape festival, The Killers immediately went into playing their iconic hit, “Mr. Brightside.”

Following the show, the band shared a series of photos on X (formerly Twitter), captioned “Tonight we played for England.”
