Download 2022 headliners Biffy Clyro treated fans to a special, intimate, stripped-back acoustic gig at Hackney Church in London on March 10, for what was a final UK show for the Kilmarnock band ahead of their forthcoming April/May tour in the US and Canada.
"It's nice to be together again isn't it?" frontman Simon Neil asked the audience at one point during the trio's 13-song set, which drew exclusively from the group's last six albums.
The night began with Instant History, the lead-off single from the group's 2020 number 1 album A Celebration Of Endings, and concluded with a church-wide singalong on fan favourite Many Of Horror, from 2009's Only Revolutions. The set also included two songs from last year's The Myth Of Happily Ever After album, Haru Urara and Existed.
You can watch Biffy's performance of Black Chandelier from 2013's Opposites album below:
