The hills will be alive with the sound of Mr Brightside as The Killers are crossing the Irish sea.

Brandon Flowers and co are set tohead to the Scottish capital after making a triumphant return to Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend, 15 years after last topping the bill. They were one of the six headline acts for 2023.

The band will make festival appearances in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

But what time is The Killers set in 2023? Here's all you need to know:

When are The Killers playing Belfash?

Where is The Killers show in Belfast?

The rockers are coming to the Belfast Vital festival on Friday.

What time does The Killers concert start?

Doors will open at 4pm with two support acts before The Killers take to the stage. They are due to begin their set at 8.45pm.

The concert is due to end before 11pm.

How long is a The Killers concert?

The length of a Killers concert varies depending on the context in which fans go to see the band. If you are heading to a solo headline show on one of the band's own tours, the set could last in excess of 1 hour 45 minutes.

However sets at festivals tend to be shorter than solo shows, due to the large number of acts performing on a single day. The Killers have appeared at other festivals around Europe this summer including Pukkelpop in Belgium earlier in August - during which they performed for approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

The Killers played 90 minute set (1 hour 30 minutes) at both Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend.

What could the setlist be for The Killers?

The band is keeping the setlist underwrap for the show in Edinburgh - but recent performances could give fans a hint of what to expect this weekend. The band played Pukkelpop in Belgium on Sunday, 20 August.

According to Setlist.fm, The Killers played the following tracks:

• Human
• Spaceman
• Smile Like You Mean It
• Shot at the Night
• The Way It Was
• Running Towards a Place
• Somebody Told Me
• boy
• Runaways
• Read My Mind
• Dying Breed
• Caution(with "Rut" segue)
• All These Things That I've Done
• When You Were Young
• Mr. Brightside

However the band could mix the setlist up for the headline slots at Reading and Leeds Festival - so keep that in mind.
