British rock band Bring Me the Horizon will headline St. Paul’s Grand Casino Arena for the first time on May 13.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Ticketmaster. Citi cardholders have access to a presale that runs from 10 a.m. Tuesday through 10 p.m. Thursday.
The five-piece formed 2004 when the members were teenagers who shared a love of various forms of metal and punk. They took their name from a line uttered by Captain Jack Sparrow in the 2003 film “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”: “Now, bring me that horizon.”
A band demo landed Bring Me the Horizon a deal with the now-defunct British indie label Visible Noise, home to the likes of Lostprophets and Bullet For My Valentine. They toured the U.S. for the first time in 2008. They broke into the Top 20 in the States and the U.K. with their third album, 2010’s “There Is a Hell Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is a Heaven Let’s Keep It a Secret.”
In 2013 Bring Me the Horizon signed a major label deal with RCA abroad and, two years later, made a U.S. deal with Columbia. In the years since, the group has found a welcome home at rock radio, where they hit No. 12 with “Throne” and No. 9 with “Medicine.” They also went from playing the Myth in Maplewood in 2014 and 2015 to headlining the larger Armory in downtown Minneapolis in 2019 and 2022.
The upcoming tour supports the band’s seventh album, “Post Human: Nex Gen.” The band dabbled in numerous styles on the record, earning comparisons to everyone from Charli XCX to the Smashing Pumpkins.
