Brandon Flowers has spent two decades filling arenas and festival main stages with The Killers, so a solo night in a 2,700-capacity room is a genuine event — the showmanship intact, the scale collapsed. His solo material trades stadium bombast for widescreen synth-pop romanticism, and the Brooklyn Paramount's gilded rococo ceiling is a fittingly theatrical frame. If 'Mr. Brightside' has ever owned your night out, seeing its singer this close is the draw.
What to expect
A frontman's frontman working a theater: solo-album deep cuts alongside the charisma that powers Killers arena shows, under the Paramount's restored 1920s plasterwork. The room mixes a GA floor with mezzanine seating, sightlines are excellent everywhere, and the crowd will skew devoted — expect every word sung back.
Good to know
- Brooklyn Paramount sits at Flatbush and DeKalb — nearly every subway line stops within two blocks (B/Q/R at DeKalb Av, 2/3/4/5 at Nevins St)
- The floor is general admission; the mezzanine offers seated views of the famous ceiling
- The restored 1928 interior is worth arriving early just to look at
- Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene offer strong pre-show dinner options within a ten-minute walk
- Solo shows lean on Flowers' own albums — brush up beyond the Killers hits

Common questions
Will he play Killers songs?
Solo sets center on Brandon Flowers' own albums, such as 'Flamingo' and 'The Desired Effect,' though frontmen of his stature often slip in a band favorite — no promises on 'Mr. Brightside.'
What is Brooklyn Paramount like as a venue?
A 1928 movie palace reopened as a 2,700-capacity concert hall, with an ornate gilded ceiling, GA floor and seated mezzanine — one of the city's most beautiful rooms for live music.
How do I get there?
It's at 385 Flatbush Ave Ext in Downtown Brooklyn, steps from the DeKalb Av (B/Q/R) and Nevins St (2/3/4/5) stations.
