Sheffield heavyweights Bring Me The Horizon announced three exclusive UK shows for September that will see them play their latest EP Post Human: Survival Horror live for the very first time. The performances will include two intimate shows for Banquet Records at Kingston’s Pryzm on 16 September, and one for Crash Records at Liverpool’s Mountford Hall on 18 September.
The three appearances will act as rehearsal for the official UK Arena Tour scheduled to start straight after on 20 September and include performances in Hull, Glasgow, Cardiff, Sheffield, Birmingham and London. The limited entries for the Liverpool show sold out immediately upon the announcement yesterday, but tickets for Kingston go on sale today at 11am here.
Provided government restrictions on live events are lifted or at least eased up by September, the three intimate shows will see Bring Me The Horizon perform Post Human: Survival Horror in full for the very first time in the UK. The EP came out on all digital platforms at the end of October 2020 to huge success and overwhelmingly positive response, going as far as #5 at the Official Album Charts. Last Friday 22 January the Sheffield quintet finally released the EP on CD, LP and tape and are going straight for the top spot, currently battling with Bicep’s ‘Isles‘ for UK’s #1 album this week. In an exclusive interview for NME, frontman Olly Sykes talked about their surprising performance:
“When we released the record last year it was just digitally, and one of the reasons for me was to avoid this whole debacle! We didn’t really give a fuck about where it charts, but as soon as it becomes a possibility then everyone wants it – management, the record label – and you can’t help but want it a little bit yourself for the sheer ego of it. According to this game that you have to play, it doesn’t matter if your last record sold more but got to Number Two, it’s better to sell less records and get to Number One.”

Post Human: Survival Horror is the first installment of Bring Me Horizon’s ongoing project that will eventually form a full-lenght studio record. According to the NME interview above, the band is already simultaneously working on parts two, three and four, with new music expected to drop in the near future. With regards to actual release date for the next EP, Sykes states it will be after the Autumn touring cycle.
If all plans go ahead as scheduled, Bring Me The Horizon are embarking on a big tour around Russia in May followed by Europe in June. With no confirmed UK festival appearances for Summer 2021, their next UK shows will kick off in Kingston and Liverpool in mid-September. More information and tickets are available on the band’s website.
