The band has also announced exclusive pop-up events that will be happening around the world. In an Instagram post, Bring Me The Horizon shared that their “merch pop-ups testing sites” will be taking place this weekend starting today (September 27) until tomorrow (September 28) from 10am until 6pm local time.
Pop-up events will be hosted in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Melbourne, Sydney, New York City, Los Angeles and Mexico City. These immersive activations were created to enable fans to further engage in the NeX Gen universe, allowing fans to shop exclusive merch items and physical copies of the LP. Check out the video down below for specific location addresses.
Speaking to NME as part of our In Conversation series, Sykes described what is at the core of ‘NEX GEN’, saying: “The whole record is a battle between light and dark. It’s a constant battle throughout the record because that side is so much more easy to give in to. It’s harder to say, ‘I’m going to go on the long, hard, slow path to contentment’. The other side is so easy, sexy, and romantic. That first step is a lot harder, and you know you’re going to fail. Throughout the record there are multiple times where I fail. You’ve got to take charge of your own healing; you’ve got to do the work yourself’.”
In a four-star review of the album, NME wrote: “Few modern rock bands have made an album that is such a bombardment of sound and colour. Post-Jordan Fish, they continue to be what they’ve always been: a creative force that transcends the personalities of its individuals. It entirely justifies the four-year wait, which already feels like ancient history. Buckle up – because this is still BMTH’s world, and we’ll be living in it for quite some time yet.”
In other news, Bring Me The Horizon have been announced as performers for Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park 2025.
They will join the likes of Slipknot, Biffy Clyro, Sleep Token and more at the twin German festivals which are set to take place between June 6-8, 2025 in Nürburgrung and Nürnberg.
