Davies, the frontman of legendary Australian band Icehouse, brought his signature vocals to the performance, igniting cheers from the packed crowd at Rod Laver Arena.

The Killers, led by Brandon Flowers, are known for incorporating unique moments into their concerts, and this performance was no exception.

Electric Blue, co-written by Davies and John Oates of Hall & Oates, became a global hit for Icehouse in 1987, cementing its place as one of Australia’s most enduring pop anthems.

Icehouse, formed in Sydney in 1977, produced timeless classics such as Great Southern Land, Hey Little Girl, and Crazy.

“Towards the end of the gig, Brandon Flowers told the crowd he was never shy about his admiration of Aussie bands and said he wanted to sing a little Electric Blue with Iva Davies,” one concertgoer told 7NEWS.com.au.

“Then Iva casually walked out and the pair belted out some bars to the classic Icehouse hit.

“The crowd went absolutely wild, singing along to every word.”

Fans were thrilled to see the collaboration, with many expressing their enthusiasm on TikTok after Frontier Touring shared a snippet of the moment.

“I would have loved to have been at a show like this,” one comment read.

“Hearing Iva Davies sing Electric Blue with The Killers was a once-in-a-lifetime moment!” an Instagram user said.

The Killers are set to perform two more shows in Melbourne, on Friday and Saturday nights.
