Bring Me The Horizon LA Tour: Top 5 Shows You’ll Wish You Saw

Seeing Bring Me The Horizon, or BMTH as folks like to call ’em, tear it up in Los Angeles is, very, very likely something that stays with ya. The city is almost known for big gigs, and BMTH has brought their A- the one with stars all around it – game multiple times. We are gonna peek at five shows that stuck out; gigs that people still talk a bit about, sharing setlists and those “I was there!” stories. What makes these performances something truly special is, arguably, a mix of crazy energy from the band, how the crowd reacts, and, well, the sheer iconic feel of the venues. Venues like The Forum and The Hollywood Palladium really become something when BMTH turns the amps up to eleven. And let’s be frank: Oli Sykes’ stage presence really seals the deal.

1. The Forum: A Night of Groundbreaking Sounds

The Forum, oh yeah, it’s a serious spot. BMTH had one gig there that people bring up a little bit. Now, the story goes, there were fans flying in from every place possible, which really made the air electric. In that place? The sound, you know, it circles all around you, which made every scream, every heavy riff, it got seriously amplified. I think it was their “That’s the Spirit” era, so, too it’s almost like everybody knew the words to all the tracks and joined in for all the big choruses. Very cool. Actually, I’ve read it was such a hit the band was all smiles, which folks rarely see with bands playing such very aggressive music. It seems that venue’s history paired really wonderfully with BMTH’s forward-thinking metal sound, and it left people in awe.

2. Hollywood Palladium: Intimacy Meets Intensity

Ah, the Hollywood Palladium! It’s a pretty iconic location, very close and kind of personal – it just draws you in. BMTH played a show there that has such an impact with its own vibe. Now, it wasn’t just one of those oversized gigs. The light show dancing above felt amazing, you know? Plus, the energy? Man. It almost felt like the crowd became almost part of the act, responding with the same power. A bit has been written about how Ollie walked off into the pit to do high fives; you don’t forget the human connections he builds. Folks still mention that performance when someone wants to chat about awesome shows at the Palladium, arguably cementing that it became a memorable event.

3. The Wiltern: An Evening of Symphonic Metalcore

Okay, so, the Wiltern might be a stunner! Is that Art Deco design, like your looking into something out of time? What do you know: BMTH there brought some very next-level magic to that place. Folks were blown away by that sound, which appeared to hit even greater depth than before, resonating perfectly in this location’s vast chamber. Their performance included what looked like the strings section that just added some grandness, creating a rich texture to their core metal sounds. Is that this specific mashup really took them up into the space usually booked for very refined art forms; and I suspect it’s kinda cemented how the band may not be easily labeled.

4. Shrine Auditorium: A Spectacle of Sound and Light

Have you been to the Shrine Auditorium? It is almost one gigantic room that appears built just for grand things to occur! Actually, the spot became something spectacular when Bring Me The Horizon really brought everything! The lights, people recall, they cut the spot, almost drawing vivid pictures to blend together very tightly in that atmosphere. As I was saying, with lots of room on that floor space? Everyone could go mad to tunes; what looks like it was a pit became very, very, intense and also, arguably united. Seemingly this really set it off from only just some gig to what almost feels like an essential community ritual; this very, very loud gathering for everybody into metal sounds. People left this one really touched.

5. The Novo: Up Close and Personal Chaos

So, here is what is a good thought: You go catch BMTH over at The Novo. What a fun choice. A bit closer? This allows a different type of engagement in the way you and the artists connect! As a matter of fact, some say you get what could be labeled some pretty crazy action there; given just what a madhouse it feels like. Is that because the whole place looks designed for very close proximity to the thing taking place on that area above? Arguably that is very right: seeing it here? Feels incredibly raw; super intense; basically something unforgettable when it wraps! Every scream, every single chord that almost strikes is seemingly tangible
