Bastille live in Dundee (Paul Smith)
Spyres, The LaFontaines and Dylan were with Bastille on the Day 2 bill.
Bastille headlined Slessor Gardens in Dundee last weekend a summer on from when the deluxe edition of Give Me The Future arrived with a video for one of its brand new tracks, Revolution.
“The chorus is about the intimacy of human connection in the context of some science fiction, space-centered imagery, but it’s also about the idea of those amazingly thoughtful people who spend their lives trying to change the world in a positive way,” Dan Smith said.
I’m totally over-awed by people like that – if you’re one of them, like an inventor, activist or scientist, you have to have the ability to imagine a version of the future that’s better than what currently exists, and then have that energy to actually work to make it happen.
“Alongside all the other things life throws at you. So, I wanted to nod to those people and the idea that before anything big happens, most of them will have had these little revolutions in their minds, a change of perspective that leads to something bigger.”
