Earlier today we brought you an epic Big Weekend performance from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, but even that blistering rendition cannot hold a candle to what Bring Me The Horizon brought to the stage this weekend.

STREAM: Baauer – “Slip”

Yung king of trap Baauer describes his sound as, “Hip-Hop born from The Internet”. Well we like hip-hop and it goes without saying that we’re also fans of the internet. We’re guessing you are too.

We know, we know. We shouldn’t assume; it makes an ass out of you and me. But we’re guessing you’re probably reading this while you’re using the internet, right? Unless you’re some sort of wizard or something.
