“Bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Sleep Token, Bad Omens, $uicideboy$, Motionless In White, Spiritbox, I Prevail, Slaughter To Prevail, Lorna Shore, Wage War, Dayseeker and Knocked Loose aren’t just performing – they’re defining the next generation of headliners.
“At the same time, pioneers like Slayer, Deftones, A Perfect Circle and Avenged Sevenfold have set the standard, proving that this music is always evolving. This is where the past, present, and future of heavy music collide.”

Louder Than Life headliners Bring Me The Horizon are already set to headline Reading & Leeds 2025 this summer alongside Chappell Roan, Travis Scott, and Hozier, and will be playing a pair of festival sets in Germany (Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park) too, but in a new interview, drummer Mat Nicholls has suggested there might be more dates to come.
Speaking to Rotherham Radio earlier this month, he said: “The idea this year was to have some time off, because we’ve literally, since COVID, been non-stop – put a record out last year, constant shows. We’ve ended up with a couple of German festivals, Reading & Leeds festival, and hopefully we’re going to go to America at the end of the year. And that’s it!”
Frontman Oli Sykes spoke to NME last year about the likelihood of the band taking some time off in the foreseeable future. “We need time to recharge our batteries and have that time away, because we haven’t,” he explained. “The last time we stopped was when we were forced to for lockdown. Even then, we were still going and making stuff. It doesn’t feel like the band has had a significant amount of time off. It’s going to get to a point where it starts to effect the band and its creativity.”
Elsewhere, the band recently released a cover of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ as part of the Spotify Singles series, about which Liam Gallagher said: “I fucking LOVE it”.
Bring Me The Horizon have also been nominated for Group Of The Year at the Brit Awards 2025, where they will be up against Coldplay, The Cure, Ezra Collective and The Last Dinner Party. Last year, they picked up the Best Alternative/Rock Act at the awards.
