Teasing the new era of the band to come, they captioned the post: “…as it was written…EVE was sent down unto mankind…”

They topped the bill at Reading & Leeds 2025, playing a blockbuster headline set that NME awarded five stars and noted: “Those scrappy skinny-jeaned metalcore brats from way back then are unrecognisable from this tour-de-force before us tonight. In terms of spectacle, they out-pomp Muse. For performance, they couldn’t give more. A hiatus and long wait to the follow-up to ‘Post Human: Nex Gen’ awaits, but what a parting gift that was. “Have you had a good time?” ends Sykes. “Was it everything you wished it would have been?” Bring Me The Horizon are now omnipotent, unstoppable.”
Backstage at that festival, frontman Oli Sykes sat down with NME to discuss the band’s future.
He revealed that there are 12 songs that could be arriving soon as part of the ‘Director’s Cut’ of ‘Post Human: Nex Gen’, but warned fans that since becoming the father to twins, the new music might take a little longer than expected.
“The music will come, but it’s just not the be-all and end-all,” he said. “We’re realising that we don’t have to put another record out; we just put one out. Most bands would go away for two years, have an actual break,” he shared. “You don’t have to do this, but I want to and I enjoy it. If it doesn’t happen, then it doesn’t happen.”
