Bastille

Bastille will kick off their “Wild, Wild World Tour” on March 24, 2017 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, ON. The extensive run will take the GRAMMY- nominated U.K. band to arenas and theaters across the U.S. and Canada, including a May 7 show at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. The band is touring in support of its sophomore album, Wild World (Virgin Records), which debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart. Wild World is the follow-up to 2013’s Bad Blood, which also debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart. Bad Blood has sold more than four million albums worldwide alongside 11 million singles. In a note to fans, singer/songwriter Dan Smith wrote, “We have been working non-stop on ‘Wild World’ for the last few years + are so excited for you to finally hear it in a few months. Not long to go! Thank you for all your patience + support. We hope you like the album as much as we do… I can’t believe we managed to pull it off in spite of everything.” “If our first album was about growing up and freaking out about it” Dan explains, “Our second is about trying to make sense of the world around you, both as you see it and as it’s presented to you through the media. It’s also about asking questions of the world and of the people in it. We wanted the album to be a bit disorientating, at times extroverted and introverted, light and dark.” It’s this mix of light and dark that brings an excitement to Bastille’s music; that allows them to be one of the most adventurous young artists in the country.
