Bring Me The Horizon have been announced as performers for Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month in September.

Oli Sykes and co. join the line-up of Camila Cabello, Lil Nas X, Little Simz, Mimi Webb, Rag’n’Bone Man and Shawn Mendes for the returning franchise, which consists of the artists playing their own songs plus surprise covers (in 2019 Horizon tackled when the party's over by Billie Eilish).

"We're so excited that Live Lounge Month is just around the corner – it's felt like waiting for your birthday to come around when you're a kid!" say Rickie, Melvin and Charlie in a joint statement. "With the show having three hosts for the first time we're bringing a fresh take so expect us to go in from the offset, no messing around – it’s gonna be big!
