Oli Sykes and his band Bring Me The Horizon have asserted their claim to the metal throne at the Tons of Rock festival. The Sheffield group delivered a performance that many are calling the pinnacle of their career, showcasing their readiness to fill the void left by retiring metal giants.

Nearly twenty years after a memorable early performance at the Hove festival, Bring Me The Horizon headlined Tons of Rock, delivering a show that was only a few sound issues away from perfection. The concert was a modern stadium spectacle, complete with a digital host named Eve who humorously announced the band's no-drugs policy.
