This year’s UEFA Champions League final will be preceded by the Kick Off Show, headlined by The Killers.
The American rock band will be performing in Budapest to launch the showpiece event, which sees Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain face off for the biggest trophy in European club football.
The new pre-match event was started last year when Linkin Park performed in front of the crowd at the Allianz Arena in Munich before PSG dismantled Inter Milan in the final to win the Champions League for the first time in their history.
When will The Killers perform at the Champions League final?
The Killers will be performing approximately 15 minutes before the game kicks off.
The band will also appear alongside Sir David Beckham in a new short film titled The Race Begins. You can watch the cinematic, which follows lead singer Brandon Flowers and Beckham in a race to reach the final, here.
