The Killers have kicked off a summer tour, playing the opening gig at the T-Mobile Arena in their hometown of Las Vegas - performing 'Human' with Blue Man Group, 'Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine' with Imagine Dragons, as well as covering a number of Elvis songs and 'Johnny B. Goode'. See footage and the setlist below. 

In true Vegas style, Brandon Flowers and co invited the performance art sensation on stage for their massive Day & Age track, as well as kicking off a drum-battle. 

Not only that, but the band also outed their now staple cover of Joy Division's Shadowplay, as well as a cover of Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B Goode' with crooner Wayne Newton, covers of Elvis' 'Can't Help Falling In Love With You' and 'Viva Las Vegas' - and invited Imagine Dragons' frontman Dan Reynolds on stage for the Hot Fuss opener 'Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine'.
