Live at the Royal Albert Hall is the upcoming second live album and video by English heavy metal band Bring Me the Horizon. Recorded on 22 April 2016 at the Royal Albert Hall in London with the Parallax Orchestra, it is set to be released on 1 September 2016.

Concert and response

On 26 November 2015, it was announced that Bring Me the Horizon would be performing at the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 22 April 2016, accompanied for the first time by a full live orchestra and choir.[1][2] Tickets for the show went on sale on 4 December 2015.[3] American group PVRIS performed as the opening act.[4] Bring Me the Horizon performed with the Parallax Orchestra, which was conducted by Simon Dobson, and gave live debuts to That's the Spirit tracks "Avalanche" and "Oh No", as well as performing "It Never Ends" and "Empire (Let Them Sing)" (from There Is a Hell... and Sempiternal, respectively) for the first time since 2014.[5]

Response to the concert was widely positive. Writing for The Independent, Steve Anderson awarded it four out of five stars, praising the performances of both the band's recent, more subtle material and their earlier, heavier songs.[6] Similarly, Tomas Doyle of Rock Sound hailed the show as "a special, special night", highlighting "It Never Ends" as the best song.[7] Metal Injection's Greg Kennelty proclaimed that "Like 'em or not, Bring Me the Horizon performed a fantastic set".[8] Following the success of the show, Fish hinted at the possibility of completing a full tour with an orchestra, noting that "It seems almost a bit of a shame to go to all this effort for months and months for just one night".[9]

Promotion and release

In March 2016, it was announced that the show would be recorded and later released as a live video album, with all proceeds from the release going to Teenage Cancer Trust.[10] The album is set to be released on 1 September 2015 in a number of formats,[11] including CD, DVD and vinyl.[12]
