Bring Me the Horizon's Oli Sykes and Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox are set to collaborate on a new song called "If the Sun Burns Out Tonight."
The track, which was recorded with producer and EDM artist Grabbitz, will be the anthem for the 2026 Valorant Champions Tour, an esports tournament focused on the video game Valorant.
"I’ve always been drawn to projects that blur the lines between storytelling and music," Sykes says in a statement. "So working with [Valorant developer and publisher] Riot Games, alongside Grabbitz and Courtney, and becoming part of the Valorant World felt like a really natural fit."
"I cannot wait to release this song!" LaPlante adds. "Oli has given me the opportunity to perform live with BMTH many times over the years, and we're finally debuting something we worked on together. Grabbitz produced such a great atmosphere and a song tailored to all three of our voices, and Oli went in right away and made it a true collaboration."
"If the Sun Burns Out Tonight" is set to premiere in the fall. You can check out a preview now via the Valorant YouTube channel.
Both Sykes and LaPlante have experience working with the video game world. Bring Me the Horizon recorded the song "Ludens" for the 2019 game Death Stranding, while LaPlante released the theme for the game 2XKO in 2025.

Kathleen Hanna and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz are taking their marriage to the studio.
The Bikini Kill vocalist and the Beastie Boys member, who wed in 2006, have released a cover of the 2016 single "Let Me Love You" by DJ Snake and Justin Bieber. The recording also features former Beastie Boys touring members Money Mark and Fredo Ortiz, as well as Frank Figueroa.
The cover is featured on an upcoming benefit compilation Contra-ICE Vol. 1: ICE OUT, put together by the organization Build Art Make Change.
"Contra-ICE is not only an album. It is not only a collective," says Build Art Make Change founder Dali Colorado. "It is a cultural infrastructure built to support frontline organizations, amplify immigrant voices, and mobilize creatives who believe that love is not passive; it's organized."
"It's not often you get to play music with your favorite people while working with a grassroots organization like Contra-ICE," Hanna adds. "They are passionately fighting against fascism and white supremacy, which is something none of us can afford to ignore."
Contra-ICE Vol. 1: ICE OUT will be released Oct. 2, and proceeds will benefit National Day Laborer Organizing Network and Unión del Barrioc. The album also features contributions from Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, former Dead Kennedy's vocalist Jello Biafra and Fishbone.

Mumford & Sons gave their fans something to "Believe" in during their show at New York City's Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis joined the "Little Lion Man" outfit onstage to perform the Apple TV series' theme song, which was co-written and performed by Mumford & Sons frontman Marcus Mumford.
Footage of the rendition was posted to Mumford & Sons' Instagram Story.
Mumford & Sons also have a song called "Believe" that, despite that word's prevalence in the show, has nothing to do with Ted Lasso, having been released five years before the series' premiere in 2020. However, according to Setlist.fm, the MSG set featured "Believe" performed right before the Ted Lasso theme.
Mumford & Sons are currently touring the U.S. in support of their new album, Prizefighter, which continues with two more shows at MSG taking place Wednesday and Thursday.
In the meantime, we await the review of MSG night one from Trent Crimm, The Independent.

Travis Barker was definitely feeling "Insane in the Brain" after smoking with Cypress Hill.
Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, the blink-182 drummer recalls when he and bandmate Tom DeLonge got high with the rap group during a tour with them in the mid-2000s.
As Barker tells it, the Cypress Hill members asked him to smoke with them between their set and blink's. While Barker would smoke after performances, he didn't like to get high before taking the stage. But since it was the last night of the tour and Cypress was leaving after their performance, they insisted that Barker join them in between sets.
"Dude, let me tell you, it was the longest f****** show, songs felt like they lasted forever," Barker tells Lowe. "It was like my body was working, but everything up here was silent."
DeLonge, who also joined in the Cypress Hill smoke session, was feeling the effects, as well.
"Tom came to me halfway through the show and he was like, 'I wanna go home,'" Barker says. "I was like, 'Me, too.' It was so awful."
Barker's new documentary, Louder than Fear, will premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on Thursday.
Disney is the parent company of Hulu and ABC News.

Jutes will launch a U.S. headlining tour Tuesday in Phoenix. Speaking with ABC Audio, the "Sleepyhead" artist teases that the run will be "bigger than anything I've done before."
"This is a big jump in venue size for me," Jutes says. "Last year was my first year headlining ever, and we started in the smallest rooms and then by the end of the tour we were in triple the size."
As the venues grow, Jutes wants the shows themselves to grow, too.
"These next venues are just bigger than anything I've done thus far, so of course I wanna level up the production," Jutes says. "I wanna give people the biggest show that I possibly can."
He adds, "It's gonna be a way elevated version of what I've done already."
Jutes will be touring in support of his new album, Chin Up, Beautiful, which dropped Aug. 5.
