OLII SYKES LAUNCHES PATIENT ZERO, A NEW LIVE PRODUCTION COMPANY
Oliver Sykes, of Bring Me The Horizon, announces the launch of Patient Zero, a next-generation live production company focused on building immersive, narrative-driven experience, after honing his craft creating Bring me The Horizon’s acclaimed live arena show.
Patient Zero debuts with its first major project: the landmark ILLENIUM + Bring Me The Horizon live experience at Sphere Las Vegas—one of the most technologically advanced venues in the world. From the first performance, videos of the production exploded online, marking a new benchmark in hybrid live performance, combining cinematic storytelling, real-time animation, and large-scale audiovisual design.
Sykes led the concept, creative direction, and served as executive producer on the project, shaping an ambitious vision that merges the emotional intensity of both artists with the full technical capabilities of Sphere. The production introduces a distinct visual universe designed specifically for the format, pushing beyond traditional concert frameworks into fully immersive world-building.
Joining Sykes is a long time collaborator, director and producer Nick Keays, who also led character design, bringing a cohesive narrative language and original visual identities to the project. Art direction is helmed by Jacob Harry Carter who is co-creative director of Bring me The Horizon alongside Sykes.
