Andy speaks to the crowd before ‘Scarlet Cross’, telling everyone that the last time they toured over in the UK they
didn’t know if it was going to be the band’s last tour. But they kept going and made a new record. The first song from
that record ended up being the most commercially successful song the band has ever had. “Thank you so fuckin’ much
for what you have done for us,” Andy says.
Jinxx plays the violin during ‘Shadows Die’ and ‘Shadows Rise’, a distinct feature during the set. The band are cel-
ebrating ten years of ‘Wretched And Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones’, the band’s third studio album, released in
January 2013. They perform ‘Wretched And Divine’, much to the delight of the crowd. Speaking of the crowd, during
‘The Legacy’, Andy stops the show as a fan has passed out in the audience. “Make room, make space please,” he
says. He waits for the security to safely carry the fan out, before continuing with the show. “This is why we love you,”
yells a fan from the crowd. A chant of ‘Black Veil Brides’ then ensues. Andy speaks about the community of fans and
how they look after each other before the band play ‘Knives And Pens’.
Despite the crowd chanting ‘One more song’, the band return for three more, starting with the softer, retrospective
‘Lost It All’ and ending with the exquisite gem that is ‘In The End’. “Thank you for being awesome tonight. Thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you,” Andy says before this final song. But, of course, we thank them more, for coming
back and gracing us with their presence and music.

YYYYY
