Dacus previously played the Sam’s Town single three times with Boygenius in 2018
The Killers and Lucy Dacus were both on the lineup Friday at Montreal’s Osheaga Festival, leading to a surprise team-up between the two artists.
During Brandon Flowers and company’s headlining set at the Parc Jean-Drapeau, the Boygenius singer joined the band onstage for a rendition of the Sam’s Town single “Read My Mind”:
“Who… has a video of me singing with the killers tonight (I’m dead),” Dacus wrote on social media following the performance.
This wasn’t Dacus’ first time singing “Read My Mind” onstage: Back in November 2018, Boygenius performed the song live, stripped-down and acoustic, on a trio of occasions, including at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre. However, Dacus hasn’t sang the track live in nearly seven years until Osheaga:
The Montreal festival continues Saturday with headliners Tyler, the Creator, Gracie Abrams, the Chainsmokers, and Shaboozey. Olivia Rodrigo, fresh off her triumphant Lollapalooza headlining gig, leads the Sunday lineup, with Cage the Elephant, Jamie xx, and the Beaches also booked.
