The new dates come on the heels of the band wrapping up their ‘From All Sides’ tour – which saw them play across arenas in nine cities and return to the live stage after a two-year hiatus.

Today (Tuesday November 25), they confirm that they have two huge outdoor shows planned for 2026 too. The first will be held on Saturday July 11, and will see frontman Dan Smith and co. headline the TK Maxx presents series at Scarborough Open Air Theatre.

For this gig, they’ll be joined by rising British-Ghanaian soul star Nectar Woode, who has gained notoriety through her mix of neo-soul, folk, jazz and gospel genres.

The second planned show will see Bastille head to Halifax to headline the Live at The Piece Hall summer series on Friday August 28. While there, the band will be joined by Carpetman as a special guest – a young Ukrainian musician known for performing under a carpet mask.

Tickets for both the Scarborough and the Halifax show go on sale this Friday (November 28) at 10am GMT. Visit here to buy tickets.
