The winners of the BandLab NME Awards 2022 Bring Me The Horizon award winners will hold their own festival in Malta in May – an event they said will be “like a Fyre Festival but with better sandwiches”.

The Bring Me’s Malta festival, which was announced last November, will take place from 26 to 30 May and includes a full live show and an exclusive retrospective set by the band.
Discussing what to expect from the event, drummer Mat Nicholls promised “bingo with Jordan Fish [BMTH keys player]. It’s called ‘Bringo’. “
“It’s like a Fyre Festival but with better sandwiches,” added frontman Oli Sykes.
The line-up of the festival, hand-selected by the band, includes Bullet For My Valentine, Beartooth, PVRIS, Motionless In White, Spiritbox, Nova Twins and Wargasm.
There will also be a number of club nights, pool party takeovers and boat parties. Find more information here.
