Love it or loathe it, Bring Me The Horizon’s mutable approach to metalcore has certainly made its impact. From sold-out arena tours, to headlining Download, and even hosting their own festival, there’s no denying that people can’t resist their anthemic charms. And tonight, stood in a sold-out crowd of 21,000, it is clear that Bring Me The Horizon fans are still eager for more.
The jagged howl of emo-revivalists Static Dress kicks the night off in style, frontman Olli Appleyard’s scrappy, post-hardcore vitriol translating well in the immense space. Alt-pop darling Cassyette follows soon after, her gorgeous voice faultless as she confidently parades round the stage barefoot belting out pop-rock hooks.
