Support came from two great American bands: August Burns Red and A Day To Remember. August Burns Red greeted an excitable crowd with a tight set of metalcore songs. A Day To Remember’s fans were out in force and the band did not disappoint. Despite a short set, ADTR pretty much stole the show and a lot of people left the show after ADTR’s set.
Bring Me The Horizon took to the stage with an illuminated backdrop displaying the massive letters ‘BMTH’. They kicked off their set with the popular single Chelsea Smile, which really got the crowd going. Despite the transition from deathcore to metalcore from the first album to the second album, the set still flowed incredibly well with a range of material from both albums.
BMTH lead singer, Oli Sykes, demanded extremely big mosh pits for songs such as Pray For Plagues, Medusa and Diamonds Aren’t Forever. The band have recently released 'Suicide Season: Cut Up’ which features remixes of songs from their latest studio album. They cleverly use clips from this as intros and outros to certain songs.
Bring Me The Horizon sent their fans home happy by ending the show with a party on stage for their last song Football Season Is Over with the anthemic chanting of “Party ‘til you pass out / Drink ‘til you’re dead / Dance all night ‘til you can’t feel you legs”.
