Bring Me The Horizon will mark 20 years of their debut album by releasing a re-recorded version of *Count Your Blessings* on July 10 and playing it in full that day in Manchester. (nme.com) The new release is titled *Count Your Blessings | Repented*, and the band described it as a “re-recording” of the 2006 album rather than a straight reissue. The Manchester performance is set for B.E.C. Arena as part of an Outbreak-presented bill. (nme.com) Outbreak’s event listing names Static Dress, Rolo Tomassi, Dying Wish, Heriot, Car Underwater and Still In Love on the same July 10 lineup. Reports on the announcement said pre-sale access was tied to album pre-orders, with general sale scheduled for Friday, April 17 at 10 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time. (themetallist.com) The project pulls Bring Me The Horizon back to the deathcore sound of their first full-length album, released before the band moved through metalcore, electronic rock and pop-leaning records. That early material has remained a reference point for longtime fans even as the group’s audience widened. (revolvermag.com) The timing lands less than two years after *Post Human: Nex Gen*, the 2024 album that continued the band’s recent arena-scale direction. Frontman Oli Sykes also told *NME* in 2025 that the band had been “emptying the archives,” pointing to a broader push to revisit older material and unfinished ideas. (nme.com) Bring Me The Horizon have revisited their catalog before in a different form: in July 2025 they announced a lo-fi project that reworked older songs with producers from the lo-fi scene. *Count Your Blessings | Repented* is a separate move, centered on the band’s first album and a full live performance of it. (nme.com, nme.com) The Manchester date is notably smaller than the arenas and major festival slots the band has played in recent years, which helps explain the rush around tickets. For a group that now headlines large venues, a full run-through of *Count Your Blessings* in a single-room setting is being framed as a one-off anniversary event. (nme.com, kerrang.com) If the plan holds, July 10 will package the band’s oldest songs in two forms at once: a 2026 studio remake and a full-album stage set in Manchester. For fans who have followed Bring Me The Horizon from Sheffield clubs to arena tours, that date compresses 20 years of the band’s history into one night. (nme.com, tapedmagazine.uk)
