Bastille Makes Fall Plans
The British synthpop/indie rock band is continuing to support its debut, 2013’s Bad Blood. Earlier this year the LP was reissued in the U.S. as All This Bad Blood, a double album featuring B-sides, tunes from the group’s two mixtapes and a few new tracks.
More fans will get the chance to see Bastille this fall because it’s moving up to bigger venues. Rather than taking the stage at rooms like the 2,100-capacity House of Blues in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., where the band will be Friday night, this fall the guys are playing the 4,500-capacity Aragon Ballroom in Chicago and the 8,000-capacity Agganis Arena in Boston.
Bastille has also lined up gigs at Canada’s two largest indoor arenas – the 19,800-capacity Air Canada Centre in Toronto and the 21,500-capacity Bell Centre in Montreal.
Here’s the itinerary:
Oct. 11 – Fairfax, Va., Patriot Center
Oct. 13 – Boston, Mass., Agganis Arena
Oct. 14 – Montreal, Quebec, Bell Centre
Oct. 15 – Toronto, Ontario, Air Canada Centre
Oct. 17 – Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S. Bank Arena
Oct. 19 – Saint Paul, Minn., The Roy Wilkins Auditorium
Oct. 21 – Chicago, Ill., Aragon Ballroom
Oct. 23 – Detroit, Mich., Masonic Temple Theatre
Oct. 24 – Rochester, N.Y., Main Street Armory
Fans who’ve signed up for Bastille’s North American mailing list or made a purchase through the U.S. online store will get first dibs on tickets during a presale that begins Wednesday, May 14 and Thursday, May 15.
The general public onsale for most dates begins Friday, May 16. Toronto’s onsale is scheduled May 23.
