British rock band Bring Me The Horizon took over Brooklyn, NY’s Barclays Center on Saturday evening. The band (which consists of vocalist Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish) is currently on a long-awaited world tour supporting their 2020 EP POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR.

The band brought along three openers to warm up the crowd. The first was screamo-electro artist Siiickbrain who used to live around the corner from Barclays and told the crowd what an honor it was to play such an iconic venue.

Next up was grandson - an alternative artist whose relatable lyrics resonated with the crowd as he performed songs including “6:00,” “Despicable,” “Oh No,” and “Stick Up.”

The night took a quick turn as hardcore band Knocked Loose took the stage and a mosh pit immediately opened up in the crowd. The Kentucky band (comprised of vocalist Bryan Garris, lead guitarist Isaac Hale, rhythm guitarist Cole Crutchfield, bassist Kevin Otten, and drummer Kevin Kaine) kept the pit going while they performed tracks including “Where Light Divides the Holler,” “Deadringer,” and “Permanent.”

BMTH was ready for a stadium performance with multiple risers on stage and a giant LED screen backing the band. With a setlist of 15 songs, the band started with fan-favorites “Can You Feel My Heart” and “Happy Song” as well as “Teardrops” and “MANTRA.” More circle pits erupted in the crowd as fans danced, sang, and moshed along to “Parasite Eve,” “Shadow Moses,” and “Kingslayer.” The band continued their set with “DiE4u” before adding in a track not on their original setlist after multiple fans requested the song on Twitter - the song was “Sleepwalking” and the band had not performed it live for five years and apologized for any mistakes that were made. BMTH finished their set with “Drown” before leaving the stage and reappearing for their encore of “Obey,” an acoustic version of “Follow You,” and “Throne.”
