Bastille has announced a return to the UK with a nine-city ‘From All Sides’ tour, set to begin at Plymouth Pavilions on 6 November 2025.
This marks Bastille’s first UK arena tour in more than three years and promises to showcase a setlist spanning their decade-long career.
Formed in 2010 by lead vocalist and songwriter Dan Smith, Bastille quickly rose to prominence with their debut album Bad Blood, which included the multi-platinum hit Pompeii.
Their distinctive blend of synth-pop and anthemic choruses has led to widespread success, with subsequent albums such as Wild World, Doom Days, and Give Me the Future further establishing their presence in the music industry. The band has also collaborated with artists including Marshmello and Craig David, broadening their musical reach.
Bastille’s live performances are renowned for their immersive stage production and high-energy delivery.
Previous UK tours have received praise for their combination of powerful vocals, dynamic instrumentation, and engaging crowd interaction.
Their 2019 Doom Days tour featured elaborate set designs reflecting the album’s themes, while more recent performances have seamlessly blended nostalgic hits with new material.
The Plymouth concert holds particular significance as a homecoming show for drummer Chris “Woody” Wood, who grew up in the city.
Wood attended Devonport High School for Boys in Plymouth and began playing drums around the age of 10, inspired by his father’s involvement in local bands. He has maintained strong ties to his hometown, often returning to engage with the local community. For instance, in 2018, he visited City College Plymouth to speak with music and media students about life in the music industry.
Additionally, Wood is a passionate supporter of Plymouth Argyle Football Club and co-hosts a podcast exploring the experiences of football fans.
