Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes has reunited with You Me At Six for a shot of emo nostalgia, performing the song Bite My Tongue with the Surrey band during a Sheffield show.
You Me At Six originally tapped Sykes for Bite My Tongue in 2011, letting him handle guest vocals on the track for the album Sinners Never Sleep. On March 3, during a stop on You Me At Six’s farewell UK and Ireland tour at the Octagon Centre in Sykes’ hometown, the Bring Me The Horizon man hopped onstage to help perform the song. Watch footage below.
You Me At Six announced their impending split in May 2024. They confirmed their farewell tour days later, and it’s set to conclude with two huge shows at London’s 12,000-capacity Wembley Arena on April 3 and 4. See the remaining dates below.
During an interview with Kerrang!, vocalist Josh Franceschi said the band were breaking up because they’d done “everything [they] wanted” to during their near-20-year career.
“We always wanted to go out on our own terms,” he said. “No one’s in the dark about what’s happening, and that means we can enjoy it more. If we were to rock up to Slam Dunk [festival 2024], and be like, ‘This was our last gig, see you later,’ drop the mic and walk off… I think we’re better than that. And I want people to remember our band as being their band. We owe them some respect.”
While You Me At Six are winding things down, Bring Me The Horizon’s schedule is beginning to ramp back up. Though Sykes said that the pop-metalcore band may go on hiatus in the not-too-distant future, they recently released a cover of Oasis classic Wonderwall that received public endorsement from Liam Gallagher.
They’re also preparing to headline Reading and Leeds festival and will tour the US in the autumn, with support from Motionless In White, The Plot In You and Amira Elfeky. See dates and details via their website.
