The Black Veil Brides, with their fervent army of fans in tow, descended upon Toronto’s History Club as part of their BVB World Tour 2023. The purpose?

As the clock struck 7:00, the show kicked off in grand fashion, with fans from all corners of the map converging to witness the spectacle. Among the crowd, a group of dedicated fans had even travelled from Buffalo, New York, having attended the previous night’s show at The Rapids Theatre in Niagara Falls.
