Bring Me The Horizon are riding the waves of an explosive headline performance at this year’s Download festival. The band took to the stage on Friday in front 100k euphoric fans and played a storming set that included new singles LosT and AmEN!. The band also announced a brand new studio album, entitled POST HUMAN: NeX GEn, which is due for release on September 15 via Sony Music Australia/RCA and a UK & Ireland Arena tour in 2024, which includes a night at the 02 Arena in London.
