Bring Me The Horizon electrifying the crowd in São Paulo.

The film captures BMTH’s biggest headline show yet — a sold-out night at Brazil’s Allianz Parque Stadium, where 50,000 passionate fans gathered in late 2024. This isn’t just your average concert recording; it’s an immersive, multi-angle adventure that blends powerful live footage, drone shots soaring above the stadium, and unique fan-submitted video clips to recreate the night’s electric atmosphere like never before.

The Vision Behind the Virtual Experiment

This ambitious project is co-directed by CiRCUS HEaD and aims to push concert films to the next level by offering an interactive feel. The film doesn’t just document the show; it immerses viewers in the experience, mirroring the frenetic energy of that night through its innovative visuals.

What makes L.I.V.E. In São Paulo stand out is its seamless blend of cinematic production with fan perspectives and creative storytelling elements. It expands on the universe BMTH has been crafting, particularly in their POST HUMAN series, introducing characters like E.V.E, Selene, and M8 — giving the concert a narrative edge that’s as captivating as the music itself.

The film’s setlist is a journey through BMTH’s evolution, featuring hits from albums spanning over a decade, from the powerful anthems of Sempiternal (2013) and That’s The Spirit (2015) to the experimental vibes of Amo (2019), and their ongoing POST HUMAN series (2020-present). It’s a sonic timeline that reflects how the band’s sound has morphed and matured, all while keeping that signature BMTH intensity.

Tickets to experience this film on the big screen went live at 2pm GMT and screenings are scheduled across more than 35 countries, including hot spots like the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, and Brazil. The release is managed by Trafalgar Releasing in collaboration with Sony Music Vision and RCA.

Inside the Mind of Oli Sykes: The Man Behind the Magic

Frontman Oli Sykes recently opened up about the creative process behind this immersive stage production during a chat at Reading Festival 2025. He emphasized that the band's innovative visuals and production are a truly DIY effort, crafted by the band and their tight-knit creative team rather than big production houses.

“We’ve done it all ourselves. I think some people might think we have these massive production houses and companies that are helping us do all this. But it’s me coming up with the ideas, my mate in Australia does all the animation… our crew that are amazing. We all just put our heads together.” – Oli Sykes

Oli’s inspiration came from watching immersive dance shows and wanting to translate that vibrant visual energy into a metal concert. He mused, “I want a show like that! How the fuck do you do that?! How the fuck do you get the visuals to match the lights and it look like it’s coming out of the screen?” That playful curiosity fueled BMTH’s cutting-edge concert experience.

What’s Next for Bring Me The Horizon?

While L.I.V.E. In São Paulo celebrates their past and present, Oli hinted at fresh projects on the horizon. There’s talk of a Director’s Cut edition of Post Human: Nex Gen with potentially 12 more songs arriving to expand the POST HUMAN universe. However, Oli also shared that new music might slow down a bit as he embraces fatherhood of twins — a major life change that’s reshaping his priorities.

“The music will come, but it’s just not the be-all and end-all. We’re realizing that we don’t have to put another record out; we just put one out. Most bands would go away for two years, have an actual break. You don’t have to do this, but I want to and I enjoy it. If it doesn’t happen, then it doesn’t happen.” – Oli Sykes

This refreshingly honest take shows the band’s grounding in their art while balancing life’s bigger picture.

Upcoming Tours and Festival Headliners

BMTH isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Spring 2026 sees them launching their Ascension Program 2 North American tour, promising more high-octane live shows. Plus, they’re set to electrify some of the biggest festivals around the globe, including Rock For People, Nova Rock, Tons Of Rock, and Sick New World.

One of the biggest highlights? Bring Me The Horizon has been confirmed as headliners for Sziget Festival 2026 in Budapest, sharing the stage with massive acts like Florence + The Machine, Lewis Capaldi, and Twenty One Pilots. This marks another milestone in BMTH’s rise as a mainstay in the festival circuit.

Why ‘L.I.V.E. In São Paulo’ Is a Must-See

Concert films are nothing new, but this one feels different. BMTH isn’t just recreating a live show; they’re transporting you into their world with a sensory feast of sound, sight, and fan energy. The mix of cinematic flair, drone perspectives, and interactive fan clips makes the experience dynamic — like you’re part of the massive crowd, heart pounding, lights flashing, and music blasting all around you.

For longtime fans like me, it’s a nostalgic yet fresh reminder of how far the band has come. And for newcomers, it’s a stunning introduction to BMTH’s evolving sound and stagecraft.
