“Possibly the most requested and mythologised single show of the last decade,” remarked the organisers of the upcoming concert featuring Bring Me The Horizon. This highly anticipated event will take place on July 10, 2026, at Manchester’s B.E.C. Arena, where the band will perform their debut album, ‘Count Your Blessings’, in full for the first time.
Originally released in 2006, ‘Count Your Blessings’ played a pivotal role in bringing extreme metal to a wider audience. With over 7.2 million albums sold worldwide, Bring Me The Horizon has established themselves as a significant force in the music industry. The re-recorded version of the album, titled ‘Count Your Blessings | Repented’, is set to release on the same day as the concert, marking a significant milestone for the band as they celebrate 20 years since their debut.
This performance is not part of a full tour but rather a standalone summer event, co-curated with the Outbreak Festival. It promises to be a celebration of the band’s influence on heavy music, featuring support from acts such as Static Dress, Rolo Tomassi, Dying Wish, Heriot, Car Underwater, and Still In Love.
Oli Sykes, the band’s frontman, has shared insights into their creative process, stating, “The music will come, but it’s just not the be-all and end-all.” He further elaborated, “We’re realising that we don’t have to put another record out; we just put one out.” This reflects a shift in the band’s approach, focusing on the significance of their existing work rather than constantly producing new material.
The excitement surrounding this event is palpable, with fans eagerly anticipating the chance to hear tracks like ‘Pray for Plagues’, which has only been performed once since 2014. A Reddit commenter expressed the sentiment many fans share: “Ain’t no way BMTH are marketing the Count Your Blessings 20th anniversary, would be absolutely wild if they started playing ‘Pray for Plagues’ again.”
Tickets for this landmark show will go on sale on April 17, 2026, and given the band’s history and the significance of this performance, they are expected to sell out quickly. The event is already being touted as possibly the most requested single show of the last decade, highlighting the band’s enduring popularity and the nostalgic connection fans have with their early work.
As the date approaches, anticipation will only grow, and the performance is expected to be a defining moment in the band’s career, celebrating not only their past but also their ongoing influence in the heavy music scene. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional surprises or special guests that may join Bring Me The Horizon on stage during this momentous occasion.
