MoreOver the course of more than a decade together, Bastille's distinctive sound and cinematic songwriting have connected with audiences across the globe like few other British bands in recent memory.
Their chart-topping, twice No.1 debut album "Bad Blood" – featuring the era-defining hit Pompeii — was the biggest-selling digital album of 2013 and made Bastille the year's biggest global breakthrough act. With over a billion Spotify streams, the band won the British Breakthrough Act award at the 2014 BRITs and received two Grammy nominations. Bad Blood has since gone triple platinum and sold over one million copies in the UK alone.
Further No.1 albums followed with Wild World (2016) and Give Me The Future (2022), alongside Doom Days (No.4, 2019) and the acclaimed documentary Bastille Re-Orchestrated. Their 2018 "Happier" collaboration with Marshmello has been streamed over 7 billion times. In 2023, the band celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Bad Blood with the release of Bad Blood X and a sold-out international run of shows and festivals. That same year, they collaborated with multiple Academy Award and Grammy-winning composer Hans Zimmer on Pompeii MMXXIII, a powerful rework of their breakthrough hit that closed BBC's Planet Earth III.
Following a two-year hiatus from performing live, Bastille return to the stage in autumn 2025 with their "From All Sides" UK arena tour — a celebration of their first fifteen years. Spanning nine cities across the UK, the shows will see the band perform songs from across their entire catalog, revisiting fan favourites, rarities, and defining moments from their remarkable career.
The band will also use the tour to support Youth Music's Rescue the Roots campaign, donating proceeds to help sustain grassroots youth music projects across the UK.
With over 13 million records sold, three UK No.1 albums, six UK Top 40 singles and more than two billion video views, Bastille remain one of the world's most streamed acts, and one of the most influential British bands of a generation.
