Bring Me The Horizon headlined Leeds festival last night and showed their support for Palestine during their set.
The metal band from Sheffield first played this festival back in 2008, and then again in 2022 when they co-headlined alongside Arctic Monkeys, but last night they came back and headlined solo.
Despite the band starting off as an underground metal group, they have become BRIT Award winners now headlining festivals.
The haven’t performed many shows this year, but the ones they have been in terms of production, including a futuristic set design which fits the aesthetic of their album ‘POST HUMAN: NeX GEn’.
Production included gaming-inspired animation clips throughout the performance alongside an avatar host providing commentary and appearing on the two stage monitors. They also had laser-like lighting effects, pyrotechnics and fireworks.
During their set, they did their cover of ‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis which was released earlier this year.
Liam Gallagher said, “I fucking LOVE it”, after hearing the metal version when it was released. Bring Me The Horizon said, “We were expecting [Liam] to absolutely rinse us, but he said some actually nice things! It was cool and I think it went down as good as we wished it could.”
As the band left the stage last night, an encore of ‘Drown’ and ‘Throne’ was played as they bid farewell to the crowd, whilst waving Palestinian flags to show their support for Palestine.
