If Bad Omens don’t play this year, I’m sure they will return as a headliner next time. 
 

I think they are one of the next bands to get the bump, they would probably sell nearly as much tickets as sleep token if they did an arena tour here. 

Are they really getting that big? I know they have alot of Gen Z fans but I barely see them mentioned by older generations (I know my millennial brother is a fan but he works with alot of Gen Z and they play music at work). I wouldn't have thought them near Sleep Token level yet.

Yeah they are. At the BMTH I’d argue the fans went harder for bad omens than they did BMTH (now I’m not saying they are as bigger or bigger than BMTH).

 

their monthly listeners from the uk are near the same as Sleep Token. 
 

i think if they were booked right now, they would be a big sub (they are bigger than architects etc) but if they have another successful album than yeah headline or nothing I think.

Is that FFAF show with Lucas from Holding Absence then, I assume?

That's surprises me tbh as I don't really see them mentioned in my peer group. But I get it's a sign of the changing times. There's probably a load of metal bands me and my peer group listen to alot that the average Bad Omens fan has never heard so it works both ways and modern metalcore is deffo the in thing right now.

Bad Omens still need that commercial crossover here as a touring artist though. I know there was a lot of hype for them being on the BMTH tour, and I do concur they likely helped those very fast sell-outs, but let's get them on the circuit by their own again first.

Bad Omens will do a Sleep Token.

Yeah exactly this, I expect a UK arena tour this year if they aren’t doing festivals. I imagine they will play the o2 arena or Wembley arena atleast and see how quick tickets fly. I have no doubt they could at least sell one date at the o2.

or a couple of nights at Wembley arena. 
And then DL Headliner for 2026 or 2027 (probably the latter)

2026 seems too soon, I'd say, but then I'd have said the same thing about 2025 at the start of last year if you'd asked me about Sleep Token.
