Black Veil Brides appropriately marked Valentine’s Day 2023 by returning to a place they love so much: the UK.

The band kicked off their nine-date headline run last night, February 14, at Nick Rayns LCR, UEA in Norwich, before they continue their tour tonight (February 15) in Bristol, and then stop off in Birmingham, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Southampton and London on the almost-sold-out run.

BVB treated fans to a killer 17-song setlist featuring a host of career-spanning bangers, opening with Crimson Skies from 2021 album The Phantom Tomorrow, and wrapping up with classic single In The End. In-between, they naturally threw things back to fan-favourites like Knives And Pens, as well as bringing things to the present day by airing Devil from 2022 EP The Mourning.

On Devil’s Night, Black Veil Brides will play their biggest-ever UK show at Wembley. The culmination of nearly two decades of blood, sweat and tears, Andy Biersack and his army have been fighting for this since day one. As he prepares to headline the world’s most famous arena, the frontman looks back on what it took to get this far, his own journey of discovery, and what’s coming next…

Andy Biersack always had a little razorblade edge about him, but Black Veil Brides’ inimitable frontman has sharpened it further, tapping into his inner Demon Barber for Sweeney Todd-inspired new EP Bleeders. With a Wembley Arena takeover scheduled for Devil’s Night on October 30, too, the Californians’ next chapter will be all about conquering rock on their own bloodthirsty terms…
