The Download Festival in Donington Park is just over and everyone is talking about the outstanding stage scenery of Bring Me The Horizon’s headlining show! The festival took place from June 8 - 11 and BMTH took the stage on Friday the 9th. Keep reading for more details.
Wow, what a show! Certainly more impressive in person, but even the photos speak for themselves. Besides a performance with heart and soul and lots of pyro, there’s no doubt that a lot of thought went into the preparation of the stage scenery. Oliver Sykes, vocalist of the band, has posted his creative process on Instagram.
We can read in his post that a lot of work has been put into the design, the backstory, the costumes and the realization of the show. We can tell!
The show started with the AI “Eve” telling the crowd that they were all a part of the NeX GEn Research Project. While the story absorbed the audience, the band came on stage with their new song “AmEN!”. The immersive experience had already sparked rumors among the visitors of Rock am Ring a week ago, hinting that a new EP of the Post Human series might be on its way. The rumors became true, when the new album with the title “Post Human: NeX GEn” was announced for a September 15, 2023 release. In addition, there will be a UK tour in 2024. We are excited to see more crazy stage shows!
