Event Details

Bastille's headline tour will see the band perform at The O2 on Thursday 7 April.

The shows will give fans the opportunity to hear the band’s hugely anticipated fourth album, Give Me The Future for the first time live.

‘Give Me The Future’ is set for release on February 4 2022 and explores both the opportunities of new technology and the dark side of lives lived online, it’s as playful and fun as it is thought-provoking, as dystopian as it is dancefloor-friendly, and as electronic as Bastille have ever been.

The album takes us into a sci-fi wonderland free from restrictions – each song a different danceable dreamscape, a place where you can travel back and forward in time to be anyone, do anything and embrace a new wave of technology which enables us to get lost inside our imagination

The BRIT Award winning four-piece have built their reputation as one of the world’s most captivating live bands. With over 11 million records sold, 6 U.K. Top 40 singles, and 1.5 billion video views, Bastille continue to be one of the world’s most streamed bands.

The worst original names of famous bands:, stereophonics - tragic love company.

Members of various bands in their hometown of Cwmaman in the late eighties and early nineties, Kelly Jones, Stuart Cable and Richard Jones eventually became a trio in 1992 and started gigging as Tragic Love Company. The moniker was taken from the name of three of their favourite bands at the time; the Tragically Hip, Mother Love Bone and Bad Company. After they recorded an early demo of their seminal anthem 'A Thousand Trees', local promoter Wayne Coleman booked them to play a series of shows across South Wales on the provision they changed their name. Late-great drummer Stuart Cable got the final name from the 'Falcon Stereophonic' gramophone.

The Stone Roses - The Angry Young Teddy Bears

According to producer John Leckie, who helmed The Stone Roses' seminal self-titled 1989 debut album, the band almost called themselves The Angry Young Teddy Bears. "That's ('The Angry Young Teddy Bears') what the Roses were thinking of calling themselves when I met them," Leckie told Q Magazine in 2016. "It sort of suits them in a funny way. The thing with the Roses is that even though there is a punk heritage, they're hippies. Ian especially. It sounds corny, but there's a lot of love there, and you don't really get that with other Manchester bands." They ultimately opted for The Stone Roses and the rest, they say, is history.

Kaiser Chiefs – Runston Parva

When Nick Hodgson, Andrew White and Ricky Wilson formed the band in 1996, they took their bizarre Runston Parva moniker from the name of a small East Yorkshire hamlet called Ruston Parva. With Nick Baines and Simon Rix later in their ranks, they dumped the 'Runston' and they were signed up to the Beggars Banquet Records subsidiary label Mantra Records. However, despite four single releases, Parva were left label-less when Mantra folded in 2003 and their album '22' went unreleased. Fed up with their bad luck, they renamed themselves Kaiser Chiefs after the South African football club Kaizer Chiefs.

Muse – Rocket Baby Dolls

When frontman Matt Bellamy and drummer Dominic Howard's former band Gothic Plague (surprisingly not a death metal group) split following a series of rifts, they enlisted new bassist Chris Wolstenholme and changed their name to Rocket Baby Dolls. Soon realising it was woeful, after just one gig – their triumphant battle of bands performance at Broadmeadow Sports Centre in Teignmouth in 1994 – they switched it for Muse.

Goo Goo Dolls – The Sex Maggots

Originally a covers band, Goo Goo Dolls were known as the Sex Maggots when they were gigging around Buffalo, New York in 1986. However, they were reportedly forced to find a new moniker when a local promoter refused to put their band name on his marquee. They took their name from a toy called a Goo Goo Doll that they stumbled across in an advert in True Detective magazine. Singer Johnny Rzeznik has since quipped: "It's the best we came up with, and for some reason it stuck. If I had five more minutes, I definitely would have picked a better name."

Coldplay - Starfish

When future Coldplay frontman Chris Martin met Welsh guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London in 1996, the musical kindred spirits formed a group called Pectoralz. With bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion joining their ranks the following year, they changed their name to Starfish. The band performed their debut show at the now closed Laurel Tree pub in Camden in January 1998 as Starfish and had a number of equally terribly titled songs including the cringey 'Ode to Deoderant'. Several weeks later they changed their name to Coldplay after a good chum called Tim Crompton kindly agreed they could nick the moniker of his own group.

Elbow - Mr Soft

Formed in Bury in 1990, Guy Garvey, Mark Potter, Richard Jupp and bassist Pete Turner called themselves Mr. Soft in homage to the character in the Trebor Softmints advert in the late eighties that was soundtracked by Cockney Rebel's song of the same name, 'Mr. Soft'. Soon shortened to just Soft, the band redubbed themselves Elbow in 1997 and took inspiration from the BBC TV drama The Singing Detective where a character called Philip Marlow calls the word "elbow" as the prettiest word in the English language.

Pearl Jam – Mookie Blaylock

Keen aficionados of the legendary New York Jets basketball player Mookie Blaylock, Eddie Vedder and co. decided to name their band in his honour. After playing a series of shows as Mookie Blaylock, they renamed themselves Pearl Jam in October '90 after signing to Epic Records. The origins of the name are somewhat cloudy, related either to Eddie Vedder's great grandmother Pearl / seeing Neil Young "jam" live / a naughty euphemism, depending on who you talk to... Mookie himself is said to be a big fan of Pearl Jam's music.

Nirvana – Pen Cap Chew

Previously a member of the delightfully named Fecal Matter – aka Brown Towel – Kurt Cobain already had a history of hilariously bad band names before starting his new outfit with Krist Novoselic. After trialling a few dodgy names including Skid Row, Ted Ed Fred and, most notably, Pen Cap Chew, they had a eureka moment and settled on Nirvana. Kurt told Rolling Stone in 1992: "I wanted a name that was kind of beautiful or nice and pretty instead of a mean, raunchy punk name like the Angry Samoans." A superb choice.

Radiohead – On A Friday

Formed while students at Abingdon School, Oxfordshire in 1985, Thom Yorke, Philip Selway, Ed O'Brien, Johnny Greenwood and Colin Greenwood called themselves On A Friday in reference to the rehearsal day in their school's music room. The name stuck for six years until they signed a six-album deal with EMI Records in 1991 and the label requested they ditched it. They opted for Radiohead after the 1986 Talking Heads song 'Radio Head'.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem

Founded at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles in 1983, Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak, Flea and Jack Irons gave themselves the flabbergasting name Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem. According to Kiedis, the name was intended to reflect the "majestic and chaotic" nature of the band. After two shows as Tony Flow… in November of '83 the group opted for the comparatively normal moniker Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Golliwogs

Originally named The Blue Velvets, when the band recorded some tracks for Fantasy Records in 1964, label co-owner Max Reiss decided to change it to The Golliwogs after the minstrel doll of the same name. Late rhythm guitarist Tom Fogarty said: "I think, at least to Max anyway, 'Golliwogs' sounded sort of British. We always hated the name but Max owned the label and we were new and wanted very much to make records, so we went along with things." Three years later the name was thankfully dropped.

Nickelback – Village Idiots

When the young Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger and former drummer Brandon Kroeger formed a covers band in the early 1990s largely pilfering from Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Megadeth's back catalogue, they dubbed themselves the Village Idiots. Realising it would make them a laughingstock on the bigger stage, they later changed it to Nickelback in reference to the nickel in change Mike often gave his customers while working at Starbucks – "Here's your nickel back."

Black Sabbath – The Polka Tulk Blues Band

It's almost impossible to think of a more inappropriate band name as The Polka Tulk Blues Band to fit with Sabbath's crushing heavy metal sounds. Fortunately, they saw sense and abandoned the name in the late 60s with a scathing Iommi telling Ozzy: "Every time I hear it, all I can picture is you, with your trousers around your ankles, taking a f***ing dump. It's crap." Black Sabbath was inspired by three things - the Boris Karloff film of the same name, a dark vision bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler once had, and the work of occult novelist Dennis Wheatley.

Snow Patrol – Shrug

Four years before the formation of Snow Patrol, singer Gary Lightbody and bassist Mark McClelland along with drummer Michael Morrison formed the rather indifferent monikered band Shrug. They self-released the brilliantly titled demo 'The Yogurt vs Yogurt Debate' in 1994 and changed their name to Polarbear in 1996 after discovering there was already an American band called Shrug. Following an EP called 'Starfighter Pilot' in 1997 and the exit of Morrison, the band morphed into Snow Patrol the following year.

KISS – Wicked Lester

Binning their Rainbow moniker when they discovered there was already another band with the same name, in 1971 the group renamed themselves Wicked Lester. During their brief existence the folk/pop/rock group played in public just twice before Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley decided to delve into rock and roll and recruit new members. With Ace Frehley on board by Christmas '72 they changed their name to KISS and played their first live show a month later.

Van Halen – Rat Salad

Van Halen originally called themselves Genesis until they found out a certain British progressive rock band shared then name. The band then redubbed themselves Mammoth… only to discover that was being used too! Still predominately a covers band, the Van Halen brothers toyed with Rat Salad (after the Black Sabbath song) but Dave Lee Roth countered with their surname. Originally worried about it sounding self-absorbed, the whole band eventually agreed to adopt it.

Creed – Naked Toddler

The astonishingly atrocious and inappropriate band name was suggested by guitarist Mark Tremonti in the mid-nineties after he read a story in the press about an abducted child. Unable to settle on a suitable band name at the time, they often performed under a name taken from the headlines in that day's newspaper. Naively adopting Naked Toddler for one show at a club called Yanni's, Scott Stapp revealed in his 2012 autobiography that it was rightfully met with indignation. "The name didn't go over well. Girls hated it and said it made them think of paedophilia. They had a point." We couldn't have put it better ourselves…

U2 - Feedback/The Hype

When drummer Larry Mullen posted a notice looking for band members at Mount Temple Comprehensive School, the resulting group were called The Larry Mullen Band "for about ten minutes" before Bono swept aside the idea. They then opted for Feedback, after the screeching sound that came out of their amps, only to switch it for the decidedly pop band-esque name The Hype in 1977. Eventually they settled on U2 for its "ambiguity and open-ended interpretations."

Blur – Seymour

Formed from the ashes of Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon and Alex James' previous group Circus, the band called themselves Seymour in December 1988 after J. D. Salinger's 1963 novella 'Seymour: An Introduction'. When they were signed to Food Records in 1990, the imprint wisely rejected the terrible name and the band decided on Blur after drawing up a list of alternatives.

Simon and Garfunkel – Tom & Jerry

When they were just 15 years old in 1956, the fresh-faced Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkel assumed the name Tom & Jerry seemingly in reference to the hit Hanna and Barbera cartoon of the same name. Simon even dubbed himself Tom Graph and Garfunkel took on the name Jerry Landis. The pair scored a minor hit called 'Hello Schoolgirl' before going their separate ways. In 1964 they reconvened as a duo and decided to use their real names to stay "true" to themselves.

Linkin Park – Xero

Formed by high school chums Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon and Brad Delson in 1996, with Joe Hahn and singer Mark Wakefield recruited later that year, Linkin Park were somewhat regrettably originally known as Xero - a name that sounds more like a brand of photocopier than a band. After recording a self-titled EP, Wakefield quit the group when tensions grew when they failed to secure a record deal. Xero recruited Arizona vocalist Chester Bennington in 1999 and they changed their name to Hybrid Theory before eventually settling on Linkin Park in homage to Santa Monica's Lincoln Park.

Pink Floyd – Screaming Abdabs

Pink Floyd were formed from the ashes of a band that had a series of bizarre transitory names. First called Sigma 6 (there were six members including Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason), in 1964 they adopted a series of short-lived but gloriously ridiculous names including Leonard's Lodgers, the Meggadeaths and the Screaming Abdabs. A year later Syd Barratt coined Pink Floyd after finding inspiration from the Piedmont blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

With their hotly-anticipated new album, Give Me The Future, set to arrive in February, Bastille have revealed that they are celebrating by hitting the road in April to play some massive gigs.

Their tour includes shows in Brighton, Plymouth, Cardiff, Glasgow, and Manchester, as well as a huge gig at London’s O2, and two big nights at the O2 in Birmingham. “We’re all massively excited to head out on tour with this new album that we love,” lead vocalist Dan Smith said. 

He continued: “After everything that’s happened over the last couple of years, we’re buzzing to play for everyone at these brilliant venues and can’t wait to have some fun back on the road again… here’s to gigging in 2022.”

The BRIT-winning band’s run of shows is called the Give Me The Future tour 2022, and will promote the album of the same name, which is set for release on February 4th. The new record, according to the band’s official statement, “explores both the opportunities of new technology and the dark side of lives lived online, it’s as playful and fun as it is thought-provoking, as dystopian as it is dancefloor-friendly, and as electronic as Bastille have ever been.”

The band are calling this 'the first leg' of their Give Me The Future tour 2022, so hopefully there will be more live dates to come later next year as well.

Tickets for Bastille’s 2022 tour go on sale next week, with pre-sale on Tuesday 2nd November and general sale on Friday 5th November. For tickets and details go here .

The band's chart-conquering debut album 'Bad Blood' sold more than four million copies alongside 11 million singles. In the UK, the twice Number One album was certified double-platinum and earned Bastille the British Breakthrough award at the 2014 Brits, along with two Grammy nominations. The 2016 follow up 'Wild World' - spearheaded by single, 'Good Grief' - topped the UK album charts and hit Top 5 in the US. Featuring the singles 'Send Them Off!' 'Blame' and 'Glory' it was a hit with fans and critics alike and saw them scoop NME Album Of The Year. Together with a series of sold out arena tours and major festival appearances, Bastille have also collaborated with acts like Haim, Kate Tempest and Angel Haze, and Dan co-founded and co-runs an indie label, Best Laid Plans, helping to develop acts like Rag 'N' Bone Man and Rationale.

The Killers’ Mr Brightside becomes biggest song to never reach UK No 1

Band overtake Oasis’s Wonderwall and celebrate how the much-chanted chart staple ‘has been completely embraced by the British public’

The Killers’ Mr Brightside, already the longest-running Top 100 hit in UK chart history, has been named the biggest single not to reach UK No 1.

Currently in its 408th week in the chart at No 71 and still being streamed by the British public 1.8m times a week, Mr Brightside – which has become a much-chanted staple at boozy weddings, karaoke nights and cheesy club nights – has overtaken Oasis’s Wonderwall as the most successful single not to reach No 1, with 5.57m chart sales (including 1.066m actual sales and 530,340,000 streams).

Mr Brightside was first released in 2003 in a run of 500 singles by British indie label Lizard King. The band had their breakthrough the following year with UK No 3 hit Somebody Told Me, and the re-released Mr Brightside reached No 10. It has never reached any higher than that, but buoyed by the gradual shift to streaming, it has barely been out of the charts since mid-2020.

The band said: “This award means a lot to us, Mr Brightside has been completely embraced by the British public and we can’t wait to celebrate with you all on the road.”

Overtaking Wonderwall is a poignant moment, given that Oasis were the central inspiration for Mr Brightside. “I wanted to write an answer to Don’t Look Back in Anger, which is a strange aspiration for a 20-year-old,” frontman Brandon Flowers told the Guardian in 2019 .

Mr Brightside has a lovesick Flowers imagining a lover going to bed with another man, and trying to put a brave face on it: the optimist of the title line. It was written after a breakup with the woman Flowers had seen an Oasis gig with. “The wound was raw,” he said, “so it was cathartic for me. There was still something really romantic about it: it was before phones. I actually put pen to paper and we were able to turn that into something universal. To make betrayal sound so good was just a lucky thing that I stumbled upon.”

Following the Killers and Oasis in the ranking of the most successful non-No 1s is John Legend, whose open-hearted piano ballad All of Me is another wedding staple – though more for walking down the aisle than slipping over on the dancefloor.

Hozier’s Take Me to Church and the Pogues’ Fairytale of New York round out the top five, followed by Ed Sheeran’s Castle on the Hill, Vance Joy’s Riptide (another song that only reached No 10), Bastille’s Pompeii, Passenger’s Let Her Go and George Ezra’s Budapest.

The Killers are gearing up to tour their latest greatest hits collection, Rebel Diamonds, around the UK from 18 June.

In Conversation with Craig David Ahead of His First North American Tour in Six Years

The artist kicks off his tour in las vegas tomorrow, may 4, complete with a full live band..

British singer-songwriter Craig David is a multi-platinum artist with six MOBO wins and multiple Grammy and BRIT award nominations to his name. He has been making music since the late 1990s and scored his first major hit with the breakthrough 2000 single ‘Fill Me In’ , reaching number one in the UK and number 15 on the US charts. He has since gone platinum in over 20 countries and is about to embark on his first US tour in six years starting tomorrow, May 4, kicking things off at the Lovers & Friends festival in Las Vegas.

Almost two and half decades since his debut album, ‘Born To Do It’, was released, Craig David is getting back on the road with a full band, bringing with him some of his classics ready to be heard in an all new way. Born in the port city of Southampton on the south coast of England, David’s songs defined a generation of British teens, but he has always been able to call his fanbase international. Starting off as a DJ before discovering his love for singing, his voice eventually landed him in the studio with DJ-producer duo Mark Hill and Pete Devereux – better known as Artful Dodger – and together they created some of the most iconic UK garage songs of the era. Pivoting away from dance music to make R&B, David found huge global success with songs like ‘7 Days’ and ‘Walking Away’ , all still tinged with the unique UK flavour of his earlier music.
