Bastille

Saturday - Main Stage London quartet Bastille have been steadily gaining momentum since supporting Muse on the tour of their album The 2nd Law. Debut album Bad Blood was released to critical acclaim in March and has produced a clutch of hit singles. The band are building up a solid reputation for their self-assured live performances and attention-grabbing sound, which melds gorgeous soaring choruses with riotous beats, something that€™s sure to get the crowd fist-pumping on Saturday day. Bastille are known for their eager and loyal fan-base (aptly titled €œStormers€) who are likely to turn out in force on the day, sing every note and bounce to every beat, bringing a real sense of occasion to the event. Key track: Bad Blood For fans of: White Lies, Vampire Weekend
