Bring Me The Horizon have unleashed ‘DArkSide’ as they share the first seven minutes of their highly anticipated L.I.V.E. In São Paulo film – check it out below.
The Sheffield metal giants announced the “immersive” visual project last month, confirming that it would be arriving in cinemas worldwide for two days only, on March 25 and 28.
The band also shared the official trailer for their new concert film earlier this month.
L.I.V.E. In São Paulo (Live Immersive Virtual Experiment) captures Oli Sykes and co’s biggest headline show to date at the Brazilian city’s Allianz Parque Stadium, where they performed to a sold-out crowd of 50,000 fans in late 2024.
The forthcoming movie, co-directed by CiRCUS HEaD, boasts multi-camera footage, drone shots, and video clips submitted by the audience. Fans will witness an “immersive, multi-angle experience that mirrors the energy of the night” on the big screen, per a press release.
Now, the band have shared the first seven minutes of the film – you can watch it here:
It expands on the visual universe of BMTH’s ‘POST HUMAN’ series, blending cinematic production, fan perspectives and character cameos such as E.V.E, Selene and M8.
Screenings have also been announced in over 35 countries, including the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Australia and Brazil via Tralgar Releasing, alongside Sony Music Vision and RCA. Tickets went live at 2pm GMT – you can buy yours here.
The L.I.V.E. In São Paulo setlist spans “the full evolution of BMTH’s catalogue, from ‘Sempiternal’ [2013] and ‘That’s The Spirit’ [2015] to ‘Amo’ [2019] and the ‘POST HUMAN’ series [2020-present]”.
Speaking to NME at Reading 2025, frontman Sykes spoke about the band’s future, and discussed the inspiration behind their “immersive” stage production as they headlined the festival.
“We’ve done it all ourselves,” Sykes told NME. “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.”
He continued: “The shows I was looking at when we first put this together were all the dance acts that are doing all the immersive kind of stuff. I went, ‘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?’”
Sykes also revealed that 12 more songs could be arriving at some point as part of the ‘Director’s Cut’ of ‘Post Human: Nex Gen’, but warned fans that new music might take a little longer since he became a father of twins.
“The music will come, but it’s just not the be-all and end-all,” he told NME. “We’re realising 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.”
BMTH will embark on their 2026 ‘Ascension Program 2’ North American tour this spring. They’ll also make appearances at this year’s Rock For People, Nova Rock, Tons Of Rock and Sick New World.
The band have also been confirmed as headliners for Sziget 2026 in Budapest. They’ll top the bill alongside Florence + The Machine, Lewis Capaldi, Twenty One Pilots and more.
