Just when you thought all superlatives had been exhausted on this mega weekend of live music, along comes a band whose performance is nothing short of biblical.

That band are, of course, the incomparable Bring Me the Horizon. Plummeting into life with the blazing ‘Can You Feel My Heart’, the entire crowd was instantly electrified, jumping and screaming along to every beat as one pulsating entity. Much of the set was dominated by the band’s newer material, which finds them spin-kicking more squarely in the pop sphere than ever before.

But does that mean Bring Me have gone soft in their maturity? Absolutely not!

While tracks like ‘Teardrops’ definitely make the most of pop structure, they are far from lullabies, with Oli Sykes’ characteristic screams lacing every line with a palpable venom. Completely unhinged is the ferocious ‘Dear Diary’, which burns with a completely uncontainable, frenetic energy that sizzles on the air, and even the usually sobering verses of ‘Drown’ got a thumping makeover so that the energy hardly dropped for a single second!

The biggest accolade, however, has to go to the band’s creative team, who designed some of the most stunning production I have ever seen during a festival headline slot. Backing dancers dressed in intricate costumes; storytelling elements that flashed across the screens with haunting pre-recorded voices; pyro that blasted the eyebrows off anybody in a fifty foot radius; plumes of smoke that fired out across the crowd, flooding the air; and, an image that will remain forever burned onto the memories of the crowd – Oli standing centre stage, backlit in a burning red light, holding a flare aloft – a god amongst men in that moment. Congratulations Bring Me the Horizon, for pulling off a set that nobody in attendance will ever, ever forget.
