BRING ME THE HORIZON AT TOYOTA MUSIC PAVILION IN DALLAS
I had been excited for this tour the moment it was announced. I hadn’t seen Bring Me The Horizon since 2015 and it had been a long 7 years. I had not heard of Grandson or Siickbrain before this tour, but I’m sure glad that they were the ones to complete this line up. I was, however, sad Knocked Loose had to drop due to van issues.
Siickbrain was the opener and I came in with no expectations, but they somehow managed to blow those out of the water completely. Caroline with her siren-like, alluring, stage presence was so mesmerizing to watch. With her power house vocals and complete control of the crowd, it ushered in a brand new experience for me. The drummer and guitarist both had crazy high energy and I couldn’t help but to keep myself from moving in the pit to keep up with them.
Grandson followed SiickBrain and he did not disappoint either. He was definitely the personality of the tour, and I could not help but to love his welcoming energy. He was like a one man army or a one man Twenty One Pilots but 5 times the energy. Not only was his music and stage presence nothing short of amazing, but his crowd interaction and using his platform to speak on social issues made me love him even more. Not to mention, he was some what of a comedian.
Then came Bring Me The Horizon and my heart started pacing out of excitement of seeing them again. I remember them always having stunning visuals, but this tour was on a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. Before they came out, they had this dope AI visual before starting with “Can You Feel My Heart”, and my inner high school kid just about erupted. They played a lot of their discography, which I wasn’t expecting, so I got to experience all of what makes them great. Honestly, if you were on the fence about going to this show do not miss it. It was a dream for me to see them again and get to capture photos of them, and I definitely look forward to doing it again!
