A member of the F.B.I (Festival Bin Inspectors) can help you separate them out into all the different materials to learn about Zero Waste philosophy.
Their catchy tunes and dramatic riffs attracted more and more people as the set went on. Their track ‘Ignorance’ showcased strong lyrics, vocals and instrumentals. Lead singer Theresa Jarvis even taught the crowd some of the lyrics as they continue dancing to rock the tent.
There were clearly diehard fans in the crowd as they cheered when heavy track ‘Waves’ came on, singing along and nodding their heads to the deep bass.
The energetic and lively set rubbed off on listeners as they swayed in the spotlights and took in the sound of one of Britain’s most up-and-coming guitar acts.
Formed in 2014 and now signed to legendary Roadrunner records; the band have shot to fame and are influenced by goth punk bands such as AFI, Alkaline Trio and My Chemical Romance.
Will Gould’s almost operatic lead vocals twinned with Hannah Greenwood’s supporting him give that extra layer of angst and power. Hannah later demonstrated her quality vocal cords on more acoustic track ‘Crickets’ as well as her pianist skills throughout the set.
‘Misery’ and ‘Down Below’ were real crackers with their cascading choruses pleasing the fans flocking to the front to see them. The group opened with a resounding rendition of ‘Suzanne’ as frontman Will owned the stage from the off, later demanding circle pits of the braver fans.
Having won Kerrang! And Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards (among others) in 2016, it’s a natural progression for them to now be rocking the Main Stage at Leeds, having fulfilled their much-hyped early potential.
Crowds gathered to watch Oli Sykes and his bandmates put on an incredible show of both new and old tunes.
Oli, sporting a short haircut and a fully blacked-out arm, invited the crowd to jump to ‘Throne’. They wilfully obliged, with not one listener stood still.
Yellow lights flashed as the music slowed right down and fans clapped their hands to the chorus, enjoying the sound of one of Yorkshire’s finest.
Oli played the crowd with his charm. When he asked them to sing the words to ‘Can You Feel My Heart’, he repaid them with his signature heart symbol at the end of the song, setting everyone’s heart racing.
Some of the band’s heavier tunes came next, with smoke machines and strobe lights perfectly matching the atmosphere. Next came the ‘Yorkshire mosh pit’, as Oli instructed the crowd to ‘push it back’, and push it back they did.
People jumped on each other’s shoulders for ‘Follow You’, and there wasn’t a single mouth not singing. The crowd also went crazy for classic tunes like ‘Shadow Moses’, and the infectious stage energy set everyone jumping.
At the end of the set Oli even jumped into the crowd for hugs and high fives with the fans as he sung ‘Drown’ — and they went mad for it. Once again, Bring Me The Horizon put on a show to remember, reminding everyone how great Yorkshire truly is.
