'Bring Me The Horizon' To Play In Belfast

Northern metallers Bring Me The Horizon have announced a show in the Mandela Hall this August.

Formed in Sheffield in 2004, Bring Me The Horizon have gone from hyped youngsters, winning the Kerrang Award for Best British Newcomers in 2006, to a major band that has split the metal community. The band's straying between heavy metalcore to emotional metal has won equal acclaim and derision, being voted worst band of 2010 by Kerrang! readers just following a nomination for best band in the 2008 poll.

Their latest album, with its loquacious title There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret, was released at the end of 2010. Soon after the band were on tour in the US, UK, Australia and Japan throughout playing their biggest shows to date in December 2010, supporting Bullet For My Valentine on the Fever arena tour, including the legendary Wembley Arena.

The band are currently featuring as special guest to Machine Head on their European tour.

Bring The Horizon play the Mandela Hall on August 24 & Dublin's Academy on August 25. Tickets go onsale this Friday, July 8th, at 9am.

Doors open at 7pm and Tickets are £18.50 plus Booking Fee available from QUB Students Union, The Stiff Kitten, www.shine.net and Ticketmaster.
