The Killers Share New Song “boy”: Stream
The Killers have officially released their new single “boy,” which they initially debuted during their headlining set at Madrid’s Mad Cool in July. Take a listen below. “boy” marks The Killers’ first new music since 2021’s Pressure Machine, but as lead singer Brandon Flowers explained in an interview with Consequence, the track actually originated from the sessions for that album. However, since it didn’t fit within their vision for the LP, they decided to stash it and debut it live at a festival instead. “We love an incline, we like a vertical. We accept all challenges,” Ronnie Vannucci Jr. added. “It’s an unusual place to maybe break open a new song, in front of maybe an entire crowd that isn’t entirely composed of Killers fan, so it kind of makes us work a little extra hard at it.”...

Ticketmaster, Bruce Springsteen’s Manager Defend “Dynamic Pricing” Tickets [Updated]
Ticketmaster and Bruce Springsteen’s manager, Jon Landau, have responded to fan outrage over the ticketing service’s “dynamic pricing” model for Springsteen concert tickets, laying out what percentage of tickets are relatively affordable and what percentage are reserved for deep pockets. The controversy began earlier this month after Springsteen announced a 2023 tour with the E Street Band, their first such trek in six years. But The Boss’ working class image took a hit when first-day tickets soared as high as $5,000, and ever since then both he and Ticketmaster have been under pressure to address the sticker shock. Well, Springsteen just became a grandfather for the first time, so the responsibility fell on Ticketmaster, who in any event have been pioneers in the realm of dynamic pri...
