With Bring Me The Horizon the mosh pit is unleashed even at the cinema

To celebrate theirs back on tour from next April, after six months away from the scene, Bring Me The Horizon will prepare fans with an experience to live in cinemas. Before finding the audience crowded under the stage, the band invites you to unleash mosh pits even at the cinemaonly the 25 and 28 March 2026on the occasion of “LIVE in São Paulo (Live Immersive Virtual Experiment)”, the concert film documenting the biggest headlining show of his career, which took place on November 30, 2024 at the Allianz Parque Stadium in Sao Paulo in front of approximately 50,000 fans. Thus the anticipation rises to see the group back in action in Italy too, when the next one comes On July 2nd Bring Me The Horizon will be the protagonists of a show at the Ferrara Summer Festivalin the evocative setting of Piazza Ariostea, two years after their last triumph.

At the preview screening for the press in Milan, the experience in the theater with Bring Me The Horizon opens with the direct testimonies from some fansmany of whom describe how they have become close over the years a deep connection with the group’s music British, from those who found the strength in songs to overcome bereavement to those who dedicated multiple tattoos to the band. The concert film then officially kicks off with a warning: “This concert contains scenes of explicit violence and gore,”This concert contains scenes of graphic violence and bloodFor those who are not new to a concert by Oli Syke and co, knows well that nothing violent will actually happen, but in recent years the band likes to build the sets and imagery of their projects as if they were shooter or apocalyptic video games.

Inevitably, the beginning of the show is constructed as an interactive sequence on the big screen, with a splash screen that resembles a anime-inspired video game and an explicit invitation to “start the game”. Bring Me the Horizon thus invite the public once again to immerse themselves in a new story, while remaining in the imagination already developed with the “Survival Horror Tour”, between apocalyptic scenarios and reflections on the dissolution of humanity. He still guides the story EVEan artificial entity with the appearance of a female creature, partly mythological and partly science fiction, which introduces the public to an extreme simulation and puts them face to face with an impending apocalypse and the failure of humanity. The band now takes position on a multi-level scenography that recalls the architecture of a gothic cathedral digitally reproduced with visuals, lining up frontman Oli Sykes, drummer Matt Nicholls, guitarists Lee Malia and John Jones, together with bassist Matt Kean. “DArkSide” marks the beginning of the concert and the explosion of collective energy, with the fury of the audience unleashed in a single large mosh pit, here filmed, scrutinized and dismembered by the cameras.

Co-directed by CiRCUS HEaD, and presented in cinemas by Trafalgar Releasing together with Sony Music Vision and RCA, “LIVE in São Paulo (Live Immersive Virtual Experiment)” delivers the heat, impact and immediacy of a Bring Me The Horizon show through a cinematic production that combines multi-camera coverage and spectacular drone footage, along with a series of videogame-style overlays with targeting, crosshair markers and information tags. The songs themselves are transformed into a sort of mission, being labeled within a shooter HUD aesthetic. “Darkside“, for example, is presented with the caption “emotional fragility evaluation”. Even in a cinema, the relationship between stage and audience is totally restored. Although even at the concert in Sao Paulo the interactions between frontman and fans are almost absent in words, the singer knows how to enthrall those present and the emotional intensity is amplified in collective choirswith the audience often drowning out Oli Sykes’ voice, dragged into a continuous flow of participation between fragility, tension and liberation.

“LIVE in São Paulo (Live Immersive Virtual Experiment)”, from next April 10th also available as an album physical and digital, that’s how it is a direct and unfiltered testimony of the live form that the band has refined in recent years, proposed to the cinema without interruptions and returned in its entirety. The narrative evolves from concert to concert and here finds a complete synthesis also thanks to some additional elements compared to previous shows. As can be seen from the concert film, unlike the last Italian live show held by the English band, seen in Milan in 2024 (here is our story), in Brazil the giant creature that appears on the screen while the cathedral of the scenography is destroyed is equipped with a voice and interacts with the audience, adding a further level to the scenic construction between the performance of “AmEN!”, before unleashing on “Kool-Aid”.

In the’about hour forty-five of concert films, the setlist dedicates great attention to the latest studio project, but there is no shortage of songs taken from the band’s previous works, such as – among others – “Shadow moses” And “Can you feel my heart?” from “Sempiternal”, and the inevitable warhorses, including “Drown” And “Throne” from “That’s the spirit”.

With their most recent album “Post Human:NeX GEn” (here is our review), Bring Me The Horizon have demonstrated a solid and recognizable trajectory, in terms of popularity and successbut also of originality and personality. Credit also goes to the group’s ability to translate their sound and one’s imagination in one live show with high impact and involvement. “LIVE in São Paulo (Live Immersive Virtual Experiment)” testifies precisely this and increases the anticipation to see Oli Sykes and his companions again in their natural dimension, the stage.
