“Possibly the most requested and mythologised single show of the last decade,”Count Your Blessings, performing it in full for the first time ever.
Originally released in 2006, Count Your Blessings played a pivotal role in bringing extreme metal to a broader audience. Its raw energy and innovative sound laid the groundwork for the band’s evolution and success, which has seen them sell over 7.2 million albums worldwide. The re-recorded version, titled Count Your Blessings | Repented, is set to be released on the same day as the concert, further heightening the anticipation among fans.
The concert is not part of a larger tour but rather a standalone summer event, co-curated with the Outbreak Festival. It promises to be a celebration of the band’s significant influence on heavy music, featuring support from notable acts such as Static Dress, Rolo Tomassi, Dying Wish, Heriot, Car Underwater, and Still In Love. This diverse lineup reflects the band’s commitment to showcasing emerging talent alongside their own legacy.
Oli Sykes, the band’s frontman, has shared insights into the re-recording process, stating, “The music will come, but it’s just not the be-all and end-all.” This perspective highlights the band’s desire to reconnect with their roots while also acknowledging the journey they have taken over the past two decades. Sykes added, “We’re realising that we don’t have to put another record out; we just put one out.” This sentiment resonates with fans who have been eagerly awaiting new material and a chance to relive the nostalgia of their early work.
As the date approaches, excitement continues to build within the community. A Reddit commenter expressed the thrill of the occasion, saying, “Ain’t no way BMTH are marketing the Count Your Blessings 20th anniversary, would be absolutely wild if they started playing ‘Pray for Plagues’ again.” This particular song, which has only been performed once since 2014, adds an element of mystique to the event, as fans speculate about the setlist and what surprises the band might have in store.
Tickets for this highly anticipated show will go on sale on April 17, 2026, and given the fervor surrounding the event, they are expected to sell out quickly. The performance is being hailed as possibly the most requested single show of the last decade, a testament to Bring Me The Horizon’s enduring legacy and the deep connection they have fostered with their audience.
As the band gears up for this historic performance, the atmosphere is charged with nostalgia and excitement. Fans are ready to witness a moment that not only celebrates the past but also redefines it for a new generation. With the re-recorded album set to drop on the same day, the event promises to be a landmark occasion in the world of heavy music, marking a significant milestone in Bring Me The Horizon’s illustrious career.
