Yesterday (October 29) Kerrang! and Black Veil Brides took over a corner of east London for a very special VIP pop-up event, celebrating the band's co-headline show at London's OVO Arena Wembley tonight with Creeper.

Throughout the day, almost 200 of BVB's biggest fans came to hang out with the band, check out some of Andy Biersack's old stage gear (including a pair of bloodstained white jeans from when he was just 17) revisit the story of the band through the pages of Kerrang! magazine, and be the first to get their hands on the exclusive Kerrang! x Black Veil Brides capsule collection.

Just a mile or two from Fleet Street, home of the notorious Sweeney Todd who inspired BVB's Bleeders EP, a number of very lucky fans were able to grab photographs with the band in an authentic Victorian barber's chair, ready and waiting to have their throats slit. As you do.

Once all the blood was mopped up, the band settled in for a special live Q&A with Kerrang! Editor Luke Morton, including some brilliant fan-submitted questions, where Andy, Lonny, CC, Jake and Jinxx looked back on the highlights of their career so far, their favourite horror movies, their least-favourite songs to play live, and plans for new music. The band were also presented with plaques to commemorate We Stitch These Wounds, Set The World On Fire, Wretched And Divine and the single In The End all going silver in the UK.

You'll be able to listen to the Q&A yourself on Thursday, October 31 via the Kerrang! In Conversation podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever else you get your podcast fix.

Stay tuned for more news on how you can get your hands on the Kerrang! x Black Veil Brides capsule collection.

The culmination of nearly two decades of blood, sweat and tears, Andy Biersack and his army have been fighting for this since day one. As he prepares to headline the world’s most famous arena, the frontman looks back on what it took to get this far, his own journey of discovery, and what’s coming next…

Andy Biersack always had a little razorblade edge about him, but Black Veil Brides’ inimitable frontman has sharpened it further, tapping into his inner Demon Barber for Sweeney Todd-inspired new EP Bleeders. With a Wembley Arena takeover scheduled for Devil’s Night on October 30, too, the Californians’ next chapter will be all about conquering rock on their own bloodthirsty terms…
