“Possibly the most requested and mythologised single show of the last decade,” remarked the organisers, hinting at the monumental anticipation surrounding Bring Me The Horizon’s upcoming performance. On July 10, 2026, the band will take to the stage at Manchester’s B.E.C. Arena to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, ‘Count Your Blessings’, performing it in full for the first time ever.
Originally released in 2006, ‘Count Your Blessings’ played a pivotal role in bringing extreme metal to a wider audience, establishing Bring Me The Horizon as a formidable force in the heavy music scene. With over 7.2 million albums sold worldwide, the band has since evolved their sound, yet the significance of their early work remains a cornerstone of their identity.
The upcoming show is not part of a larger tour but is a standalone summer event co-curated with Outbreak Festival, designed to celebrate the band’s influence on heavy music. The re-recorded version of ‘Count Your Blessings’, titled ‘Count Your Blessings | Repented’, is set to be released on the same day, marking a significant reactivation and recontextualisation of the original album.
Support for the event will come from an impressive lineup, including Static Dress, Rolo Tomassi, Dying Wish, Heriot, Car Underwater, and Still In Love, promising a night filled with high-energy performances. Tickets for this highly anticipated show will go on sale on April 17, 2026, and are expected to sell out quickly given the fervent demand.
The performance is particularly notable as the band has only played the song ‘Pray for Plagues’ once since 2014, making this event a rare opportunity for fans to experience a piece of the band’s history live. The excitement surrounding the show is palpable, with fans eagerly speculating about what other surprises might be in store.
As the date approaches, the anticipation continues to build, with many fans taking to social media to express their excitement. A Reddit commenter encapsulated this sentiment perfectly, stating, “Ain’t no way BMTH are marketing the Count Your Blessings 20th anniversary, would be absolutely wild if they started playing ‘Pray for Plagues’ again.” This reflects the deep connection fans have with the band’s earlier work and their eagerness to relive those moments.
With the stage set for a historic night in Manchester, Bring Me The Horizon is poised to deliver a performance that not only honors their past but also reaffirms their place in the future of heavy music. As the countdown to July 10 begins, fans are left wondering what other surprises the band might have in store for this landmark celebration.
