Bastille have announced details of a 2025 tour, which will see them celebrate their earlier releases.
Dubbed the ‘From All Sides’ tour, the live shows mark the only opportunity to see the band perform live globally in 2025, and will see them play songs from their first 15 years.
Kicking off on November 6 with an opening night in Plymouth, frontman Dan Smith and co. are set to play a total of nine shows across the country, including stops in Cardiff, Nottingham, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham and Brighton. The tour will culminate with a date at The O2 in London on November 18.
The dates mark the band’s first UK arena shows in over three years, and is expected to feature a mix of fan favourites, deep cuts, intimate unplugged moments and rarities from the ‘Other Peoples’ Heartache’ mixtapes and more.
“We’re really excited to announce that we’re going on tour for the first time in a while to play the songs we all love from our first 15 years and beyond. Hope to see a load of you in November,” the band said in a new statement.

With the upcoming tour, Bastille are helping to support grassroots youth music spaces in the UK by donating a percentage of the proceeds to Youth Music’s ‘Rescue the Roots’ campaign. The charity helps marginalised young people make and monetise music, recently announced an urgent ‘Rescue the Roots’ fundraising campaign – designed to address the funding crisis threatening grassroots youth music projects across the country.
The organisation will match the donation made by Bastille, therefore doubling the impact.
“The crisis facing grassroots youth music projects is at breaking point. The lack of funding available is at critically low levels and the threat of closure for many is more imminent than ever,” said Matt Griffiths, Youth Music CEO.
“We’re delighted to further develop our relationship with Bastille, who have also supported us previously, to help raise awareness and funds for our Rescue the Roots campaign while in addition to this, giving our NextGen Community vital insight and knowledge on how the live sector of the music industry works.”

The new tour dates from Bastille come after the frontman shared his solo album ‘&’ last year, and celebrated the release by embarking on a number of live shows for the project.
“I wanted it to feel expansive and inclusive,” he told NME of the inspiration for his solo album. “There’s such a massive, rich history of love songs and the ones that stick out to me always have a unique angle and are saying something really fundamental and deep, but in a different way. What I want to do with music and songwriting is always approach things from a slightly different angle or place.”
