In the fall of 2016, Atlanta was treated to a rare sighting of The Killers when the band headlined Music Midtown.

The Las Vegas-based outfit officially returned to the road last summer, a few months before their fifth album – and first in five years – "Wonderful, Wonderful" bowed, so at this point, the polished performance that the band brought to a sold-out Infinite Energy Arena on Sunday should be pitch perfect.

And, for the majority of the night, it was.

Taking the stage to the moody, gothic-tinged title track of the new album, The Killers immediately established that this outsized production would be their most noteworthy in a 15-year career.
