The UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi took place minutes
before the football season’s biggest fixture between **Arsenal** **FC **and **Paris
St. Germain,** with The Killers performing classic hits and stadium sized anthems
including "When You Were Young", "Human", "All These Things That I’ve Done", and"
Mr Brightside".

The band brought their iconic status to club football’s grandest stage, providing
an unforgettable experience for the thousands in the stadium and the millions watching
around the globe, uniting both football and music fans.

Since arriving on the world stage with their iconic 2004 debut album, Hot Fuss, 
The Killers have gone on to solidify their place as globally recognised rock icons
of the 21st century. The band have sold over 35 million albums, including multiplatinum
hits like ‘Mr. Brightside’, ‘When You Were Young’ and ‘Human’, and recently confirmed
that they are working on their eighth studio album, with electrifying global performances
also on the horizon.

Before kick-off, fans in-stadium and across global broadcast were surprised by Sir
David Beckham appearing on screens asking fans: ‘ready to kick things off?’. As 
Beckham dropped a coin into a jukebox, setting a vinyl of The Killers in motion,
the pitch was transformed into a neon lit spectacle, with bold visuals and choreography
inspired by the band’s Las Vegas roots.

With a longstanding heritage in sport and music, Pepsi has presented the UEFA Champions
League Final Kick Off Show since 2016, each year merging the worlds of football 
and music together to create a night of epic entertainment. The event encapsulates
Pepsi’s multi-year global platform, Pepsi Football Nation, which celebrates football
culture on and off the pitch, bringing fans across the globe closer to moments beyond
the 90 minutes.
