BMTH (Bring Me The Horizon) sparked attention once more when they were spotted vacationing in Bali following the cancellation of their Jakarta concert on 11 November 2023. Several circulating photos on the internet captured their vocalist, Oliver Skyes, participating in the Melukat ritual at Beji Griya Waterfall Park in Badung Regency, Bali.

One photo depicts Oliver and his friends posing in front of the ritual site while adorned in red cloth. Additionally, a photo shared via Instagram (@bayuadityap__) displays a selfie photo featuring Oliver Sykes.

Prior to their Bali trip, numerous Indonesian netizens encountered Oliver at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta Airport. They efficiently uploaded these moments on Instagram, which soon went viral.

The BMTH concert in Indonesia faced cancellation due to technical stage issues and subsequent audience chaos, escalating the situation. Consequently, the BMTH Jakarta concert had to be canceled on its second day (11/11/2023), leaving the audience deeply disappointed with the promoter’s decision.
