Bring Me The Horizon Announce 20-Year Celebration of Count Your Blessings in Manchester

By Lily O’Delia 

There are reunion shows, anniversary tours, and then there are nights that feel closer to ritual than performance.

On Friday, July 10, Bring Me The Horizon return to the chaos that first defined them with a special 20-year celebration of Count Your Blessings at B.E.C. Arena in Manchester, UK. For the first time ever, the Sheffield band is set to perform the 2006 deathcore landmark album in full. A moment that feels less like nostalgia and more like a resurrection. The show arrives alongside the release of a newly re-recorded anniversary edition of Count Your Blessings | Repented.

The flyer says it plainly: “This Is My Revenge.” It reads like both a declaration and a promise.

Released in 2006, Count Your Blessings remains one of the most divisive and beloved records in modern British heavy music. Long before the arena-sized choruses and genre-bending experimentation, Bring Me The Horizon were a feral force born out of the UK underground — all blast beats, breakdowns, and a kind of youthful fury that could barely be contained on record, let alone onstage.

For longtime fans, this show offers something close to myth. Songs from the album have rarely occupied the same cultural space as the band’s later hits, making the prospect of hearing the entire record live a genuine event. It is a direct line back to the raw, blood-rush beginnings of a band that would eventually redefine itself several times over.

The supporting lineup only deepens the sense that this is meant to be a celebration of heaviness in all its forms.

Static Dress bring their emotionally frayed post-hardcore edge, while Dying Wish inject the bill with punishing metalcore intensity. Heriot adds sludge and hardcore abrasion, and Rolo Tomassi, fellow Sheffield experimental heavyweights, lend the night an artfully chaotic presence. Rounded out by Car Underwater and Still In Love, the evening reads like a love letter to the underground scenes that shaped modern alternative music.

What makes the flyer so striking is its deliberate roughness — the photocopied, cut-and-paste punk aesthetic feels ripped straight from a wall outside a venue at 2 a.m. It mirrors the spirit of Count Your Blessings itself: messy, aggressive, unapologetic, and alive.

For a band that has spent two decades evolving, this night is not about moving forward. It is about turning around and staring directly into the fire they came from.

And for Manchester, it promises to be one of the loudest nights of the summer.
