On October 25th, 2019 I traveled to San Antonio to catch The Threesome tour which consists of Poppy, Sleeping With Sirens and Bring Me The Horizon.

Poppy kicked off the night with the recently released, Concrete. The crowd seemed to be aloof by the young artist’s powering presence. Many began to headbang and sing at the top of their lungs. Poppy was a joy to watch! She has an incredible mysterious yet domineering stage presence. Poppy also played some tracks off of her album Am I A Girl? which was released on Halloween of last year. This was my first time seeing her perform and I am extremely thankful for the chance. Poppy is the type of performer that cannot be placed in a box. She is full of surprises, energy, and talent. I look forward to seeing her perform again.

Sleeping With Sirens took the stage next. The Florida based rock band opened with fan favorite, Leave it All Behind which is a newer song off of their most recent album How it Feels to Be Lost which was just released in 2019 of September. From the beginning of their set, fans were entranced and in awe of them. Sleeping With Sirens proved to be very impressive! I really enjoyed watching them perform a variety of songs. All of the members moved around quite a bit and they also bravely climbed onto the barricade to interact with their adoring fans. I was lucky enough to have seen them perform in Austin during the Disrupt music festival and they were brilliant there as well. Sleeping With Sirens is a band that never fails to impress during live performances.

Bring Me The Horizon closed off the night by starting off with, Mantra which is a song from their most recent album, Amo. It was very obvious to me that the frontman, Oliver Sykes loves interacting with his fans. The entire production for BMTH was absolutely beautiful to witness. I have not ever seen them perform but it was truly spectacular. The U.K. based band had dancers, incredible lights and spooky costumes. I was amazed as soon as the lights turned on and the band started playing. All of the members of the band climbed on the stage props and into the crowds. Later on during the night, two lucky fans were given the chance to come onto the stage and sing Throne. I was very entranced throughout their performance and love that they allowed their fans to interact with them on a much more personal level. Seeing bands go out of their way to give their followers a more interactive experience is very rewarding.
