BRING ME THE HORIZON THREESOME TOUR: Poppy, Mosh Pits, and Dystopian Themes

If you didn’t already hear, Bring Me The Horizon’s threesome tour took place at the Moda Center Monday, Oct. 14, for nearly four hours, and it was an amazing experience!

A half-hour before showtime, the entry line was already getting close to doing its first wrap-around, though nobody was getting irritated for having to wait, or complaining. Everyone was laughing and talking with friends and groups as the loud music from commercials blasted all around. Black clothing was the perfect attire for the night if you didn’t already buy band merch, and the anticipation was high for the night.

First up was Poppy, and although kind of terrifying, her performance was top-notch and a bit of a banger. You could feel the power behind her words and the energy in her performance and her band was a major scare factor with their eyeless masks. She was just the band to kick off the night.

Following was Sleeping With Sirens, an unimaginable experience leaving the crowd (including me) breathless and in awe. The lead singer, Kellin Quinn, got the crowd even more pumped, getting everyone to form a mosh pit and just lose all sense of control as he screamed lyrics from current albums, old ones, and new albums into the crowd’s ears. He got everyone’s pulse jumping, along with their bodies.

The crowd was so full of life as we all, for just one night, came together to jam to music we all loved and bands we all couldn’t wait to see.

Finally, ending the night was the band we all were waiting for: Bring Me The Horizon, performing their new album with the whole stage set up as a dystopian society.

The back-up dancers with their badass outfits and creepy movements as the drums roared made your heart feel like it was part of the band itself, your whole body vibrating as you jumped around screaming beautiful lyrics and mosh pitting for most of their performance. (I will not lie: That was as painful as it was epic to take part of.)

It was such an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience to be a part of, watching people come together as one, and sing back to the bands that have touched us all at one point. This was an experience I will not soon forget, nor will anyone else who was there that night.
