At their biggest headlining show to date, Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro brought out a surprise guest to join them on one of their iconic tracks. As reported by NME, during performance at Finsbury Park last night on July 3rd, the group brought out Stranger Things actor Jamie Campbell Bower for a live performance of their song “Machines.” Videos of the performance were uploaded to platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.

The London show, which was the largest headline show of the trio to date, saw them supported by Nothing But Thieves, Don Broco, Marmozets and Wavves. During the encore performance, the group was aided in their performance of “Machines” from their 2007 album Puzzles by actor and musician Jamie Campbell Bower. Bower, best known as Stranger Thing’s Vecna/Henry Creel, had previously covered the song, posting his own acoustic solo take on the track online in 2020.

The rest of the show had many iconic and fan-favorite Biffy Clyro tracks on the setlist, and was the opener for a weekend of major gigs at the park. Following the release of last year’s Futique and a tour earlier in the year, the group is set to keep the energy up with another large show in Edinburgh on August 21st.

Steven Taylor: Hello, I'm Steven! I'm a graduate of Seton Hall University. I majored in journalism, with a minor in Public Relations. I've always had a passion for the arts and creative fields. Writing especially is an area I've always found myself gravitating towards, between assignments in class, working for the school newspaper or just writing in my spare time. I love providing and hearing new perspectives. In addition to my studies and work in writing, I work part-time at after-school and summer programs for my local elementary school. I've been a part of these programs since I was in high school, and I've even been assigned to work one-to-one with children with special needs. I like to think that if I'm able to communicate well with children in the 2nd grade, then I can communicate well with most adults too!
