| Bastille - during their final song, Pompeii |
Bastille @ The Eden Project
Energetic, Entertaining and Enthusiastic
The Eden Project has always been one of the top, if not the best, venues in Cornwall since they began in 2002 with Pulp - also the first gig I went to! So yes- a little biased- but I firmly believe there's something unique about the experience. I still remember the bareness of the old clay pit - which as I return again and again appears greener every time.
Bastille has been a household name ever since their debut album, Bad Blood, and the mega-hit that was their single Pompeii, I have to admit, with a weakness for History, I have a high appreciation for their story telling throwbacks. During another early hit, Icarus, Frontman Dan Smith, primary songwriter and founder, wound his way through the crowd. He made sure even those at the back felt fully involved as those early birds who had managed to grab a front spot by the stage before even Rationale (supporting) took to the stage.
They had energy and some sharp political commentary on Theresa May - an actor dressed as her on a screen mimed and held a book with the words "strong and stable" on the cover. The stand out though is the recording studio quality music and singing. It's a gig which will surely be remembered fondly by the audience for a lifetime.
