Hi again! It has definitely been a while since I last posted. I apologise for the lack of posts recently, in all honesty the hectic schedule that's come with returning to university has given me a bit of writers block, but here I am back again and ready to get going.
From the small Kent festival in 2012 that is LeeFest to playing two nights at the O2 in 2016 Bastille have definitely grown a lot in the last four years.
When tickets went on sale earlier this year I lept at the opportunity to finally see them again, and purchased tickets for myself and my best friend, as well as my parents.
I can truly say they were definitely worth the four year wait! With a perfect mix of new and old songs, i found myself singing along the whole night, in amongst a very rowdy and excited crowd.
The excitement of the band to be playing a sold out show at the O2 transferred to the crowd, with one of the most energetic standing area I have ever been in. The jumping and singing just didn't stop.
The use of the screens on stage to tell the story of each song, was a great way to get the crowd engaged with the meaning of the songs, as well as show off the bands unique and artistic character.
I was looking forward to hearing 'Pompeii' live again as well as their new songs 'Good Grief' and 'Send them off' however, out of the many songs played 'Fake it' was definitely my favourite live. The powerful vibe that the song gave off in the huge O2 arena created an amazing atmosphere, which I think I will struggle to ever forget.
As well as seeing Bastille we were also lucky enough to see their two amazing support acts 'Jagara' and 'Rationale'. It's always great to hear new music, and you never know a few years down the line they themselves may be playing a sold out gig at the O2.
After not being to a concert since March I was reminded how much I love hearing live music, and I really hope that I am able to go to many many more gigs very soon!
Thanks for reading :)
