The album was released on 4 February 2022, and the band has played some of the songs they wrote for the album whilst out on tour.

Here’s everything you need to know about Bastille’s gigs in Birmingham and how you can get tickets for the O2 Academy show.

When are Bastille playing in Birmingham?

Bastille are due to play not one, but two nights in Birmingham. These gigs are due to take place on 14 and 15 April, which fall on a Thursday and Friday.

The band are playing both nights at the intimate setting of the O2 Academy in Birmingham.

In a venue where every guitar strum and bass-line is felt, Bastille are sure to rock the place down.

Where else are they playing?

As this is a UK wide tour, Bastille have stopped off in cities around the country to promote their new album.

In total, they will play 11 gigs in nine UK cities
