Over the past two years, UK alternative metal act NEONFLY has made an extraordinary return to the live music scene, continuing to ascend to new heights after the privations of the pandemic. From supporting renowned bands such as Epica and Escape The Fate to headlining their first tour in Mexico and performing on festival main stages across Europe, the band has cemented its place in the international metal scene. Their journey culminated in a massive, unforgettable performance at Ripollet Rock Festival in Spain, August 2024, where NEONFLY performed to a crowd of nearly 10,000 fans in a prime-time slot.
This monumental show was a chance for the band to unleash their full live potential, and they spared no expense in making it one of their most remarkable performances yet. With the largest stage production in the band’s history, including Frederick Thunder’s signature fire-breathing act, two fire performers, and an incredible light display, the UK metal outfit delivered an electrifying experience.
Celebrating their moment in the spotlight, NEONFLY has unveiled a brand new music video for their acclaimed single ‘The Future, Tonight’. The video, with a song that also features a guest appearance by Björn Strid of Soilwork on the studio version, stands as a testament to the band’s relentless touring and dedication over the past two years, highlighting NEONFLY‘s unparalleled energy and the powerful connection they have with their fans.
“We’ve always said that Neonfly is a band that NEVER takes an audience for granted, and our performance at Ripollet Rock proves that once again“, guitarist Frederick Thunder states. “Despite having a prime slot and a massive audience, we didn’t just turn up and play – we meticulously planned this show for months, determined to deliver an experience beyond expectations. We made a personal investment to capture the entire show, both audio and video, with a team of cameras and a drone. What you’ll see is the result of our commitment to our craft and our fans – always striving to deliver the best possible performance.“
“The Future, Tonight” is the title track of the band’s latest studio album, released in 2021 via Noble Demon, available here: https://snd.click/neonfly
Looking ahead, NEONFLY has big plans. The entire audio and video from Ripollet Rock has been recorded for a potential live CD/DVD release in 2025. In the meantime, the band will take a short break from touring to focus on writing and releasing new material in the coming year.
