Bring Me The Horizon at Reading & Leeds - a history

[@lstbys666]

BMTH drove straight from that festival in 2008 and performed for free at a charity show I organized in Birmingham for a friend of mine that was murdered a few weeks before, Oliver offered to re-design my poster for it as mine was undeniably bad.They arrived to the venue an hour late due to the traffic getting out of the festival, the sound engineer forced me to go on-stage an explain why there is no band playing, as a 15 year old kid I couldn't have been more nervous, but the crowd knew this show was for a cause and I received nothing but love and applaud, I was in the process of thanking everybody and explaining that the band would be here soon, mid sentence I see some guitars being carried through the crowd and they had arrived, they walked straight on stage, plugged in and absolutely blew the roof off the club. To this day I organize events and festivals and I owe it to Bring Me The Horizon, Enter Shikari, Viatropy, Azreal and all the other bands played for free and helped me raise enough money for a beautiful funeral and celebration of my friends life. I organized two more shows with Bring Me The Horizon after that first event, They some of the nicest, kindest guys I worked with, I am really happy for their success, they deserve it!

WOW. What a great story. They're amazing. They did royal Albert hall with a small orchestra for charity too. That's amazing if you get a chance to watch it. It's on KZbin.

That's an awesome story mate, thanks for sharing!

Jordan sitting there listening to the story of Reading 2008 like "Thank god that was before my time 😅"

Their headline show at Reading fest was the best performance of the weekend for me - absolutely took me away. Was my first time seeing them but will definitely be seeing them again!

[@romeg5531]

Agreed. It was my first time seeing them too! The production and the performance stole the weekend.

[@09mattine]

Hands down the best set of the weekend, they owned that festival! I’ve been with them since the beginning and honestly I was so proud to see them make it and reach this stage

[@gabluvsbmth2337]

going from being to pelted w stuff on stage to headlining, they’ve come so far and i am just so so proud of them!

They made Reading 2022, they put on the best performance. I would of paid the whole weekend fee (£260ish) just to watch their set.

[@monn.y]

I hope they know they're one of the biggest rock/metal bands today And they're definitely making fresh and very good music in that genre

[@annjohnson8437]

These guys are so humble and really seem to appreciate all their success and fan support! I cannot wait for BMTH to release more incredible innovative music! 🖤

[@Bazacoc]

I am so glad that they have achieved such heights! But don't stop and go only forward! Thank you for your music, BMTH

[@BODSTREAM]

Bringin Sheeran out mid set was the biggest flex

[@sheeno3882]

Best band in the world. Live for the day they finally come back to Ireland

[@CraigSimmonds]

I know they had a bad rep at the beginning of their career, but I'd completely forgotten how hated Bring Me used to be until Oli mentioned it here (absolutely gross that people used to bottle them). Crazy how they completely transformed the publics opinion of them.

[@welcomethrillho9724]

Been a fan since the very beginning, and it was insane how divisive they were, like people used to like actively hate them, but then they had the second most played MySpace song after Coldplay. The only band I can think of that have consistently levelled up for their whole 18 year career as well, like that’s mind blowing if you think about it, bigger than they’ve ever been after 18 years. While they’re arguably the biggest of the ‘newer’ metal/rock acts, I still don’t think they really get the recognition for how absolutely mental it is that they’ve got bigger and better every single release, for the last 18 years.

[@carolinecoy3164]

Yup. Love where they are today. They stuck out the worst of it. Have you seen the story he tells about a gig in Doncaster. Chatting with yungblud. He was saying the same. The went to McDonald's and got mugged for a happy meal. Made it sound funny as fuck. But glad they stuck at it. Many would F it off having to deal with that everytime. They should be proud. Love it❤

[@laykay6225]

Ahhh this makes me more excited for the America tour!!!!

[@camlg3579]

They are beaming !! Love them so much, thank you for this interview !!

[@calblb1]

I would pay so much money to re-live their Leeds set from this year, I hope they know how much they mean to so many people.

[@hyperzxhawks2746]

The lads absolutely smashed it best set of the weekend by far. They are only going up Glasto next

[@cribbytheog2866]

I’ve seen bring me 4 times and they NEVER disappoint🎉

[@charlieries-coward8111]

I didn’t used to Like bring me the horizon but now I really like their music and also know the led singer has AHAD like me too which inspires to become best in what I can achieve nice to look up singer who has AHAD too 🙂

[@ed_styles4218]

Can’t wait to see them a day after my birthday in Los Angeles 👍

[@Devananta-Rafiq]

Dayum they played so many reading slots

[@bmthstanforlyfe]

best band 🥹

[@joshsymons3023]

The Arctics songs are amazing still but they literally couldn’t follow bring me at Reading... so many people looked bored for the second headliner after watching these guys first... they are basically too good now 😂

[@emanuelramon1845]

Does anyone have the video or know which concert Oli talks about when he mentions having watched his wife playing?

[@monn.y]

"Aa' ic monkeys"

[@cheems5920]

jordan fish is handsome

[@jimmygardner4817]

2013 has to be my favourite set ever

[@carolinecoy3164]

How close they are and so invested in the band and eachother m just noticed that Jordan has BMTH tatties on his wrist too. That's solidarity and friendship. And I say their music has really helped me,in more ways than I can say. But the way it's helped Oli most. The ending of teardrops is so clear that's what it meant. Just clever and cool. I'm 50 years old and never fangirled so hard for a band since I was in my teens and 20s. Love you guys. My sons friend is related to Matt through marriage and we always talk about BMTH. Maybe I'll get lucky and meet them 1 day.❤❤ Gotta dream right😂😂😂❤

[@icecreambacon]

Best band ever! 🤘🏻 Seeing them for the 4th time in a few weeks I can’t fucking wait
