We asked you to pick the best major act at Boston Calling 2024, and after four rounds, you landed on the millennial-rock darling The Killers.
- The Killers and California indie band Young The Giant knocked out Megan Thee Stallion and Leon Bridges in the last round before facing off.
- But the 2000s nostalgia runs deep. Young The Giant didn't stand a chance.
The biggest surprise, perhaps, was not that The Killers won against Megan Thee Stallion, but how much more support the band got compared to the H-Town hottie.
The bottom line: Brandon Flowers can head into Boston Calling satisfied this weekend, knowing The Killers are shining on in the hearts of locals.
