There are very few bands that know how to put on a proper show. It’s something that Bring Me The Horizon does not get enough credit for - they know how to bring an experience to their fans. Looking at different genres, an artist takes inspiration from them and puts it into the context of their “brand”. This shows through in all of the planning that goes into their shows. The staging is planned down to an inch of its life, with massive gothic windows and church-like stage setting. It’s a running joke with their “cult-like” fan base, with merch saying Cult Leader. This, on top of their incredible stage presence, makes for a show like no other. It’s something that is often missed in this genre, it’s more than just some fancy light show and pro tech. 

This stems from a deep understanding of their fan base and honoring it to their best ability, knowing how to connect to their fans and how to adapt to give them the best possible experience. For example, I remember seeing them at a When We Were Young festival back in 2021; their graphics looked very clean cut compared to this newer phase, whereby it definitely leans into 90s video game atheistic, ya know post - apocalyptic video games vibes, even slightly pixelated and with a slight audio delay. This really applies to this need to scratch that nostalgic itch that everyone is currently having. 

If you expect people to pay the best part of £55 for the evening, it’s appertained that they started the evening early and had 3 supports and an hour and a half set. - They delivered on their promise of an unforgettable evening and earned that ticket price; no one walked about disappointed.
