The Eden Sessions announcement follows Bastille’s return to the stage in November 2025 for their From All Sides tour, after a two-year hiatus from performing live. The sell-out arena shows took place in nine cities across the UK.
Alongside celebrating the band’s career to date, the expansive set carried a forward-looking energy, bringing together over a decade of the band’s music with a clear sense of evolution, seamlessly threading in the sounds and ideas shaping their next chapter. The tour culminated with the release of the band’s first original new music in three years, a new single entitled SAVE MY SOUL - which was released last Friday (November 22).
The band performed an unforgettable, sold-out show at the Eden Project in 2017. Coverage from the event was televised as part of the Live at Eden series on BBC Four.
Over the course of more than a decade together, Bastille’s distinctive sound and cinematic songwriting have connected with audiences across the globe like few other British bands in recent memory.
With over 13 million records sold, three UK No.1 albums, six UK Top 40 singles and more than two billion video views, Bastille remain one of the world’s most streamed acts, and one of the most influential British bands of a generation.
Their chart-topping, twice number one debut album Bad Blood — featuring the era-defining hit Pompeii — was the biggest-selling digital album of 2013 and made Bastille the year’s biggest global breakthrough act. With over seven billion Spotify streams, the band won the British Breakthrough Act award at the 2014 BRITs and received two Grammy nominations. Bad Blood has since gone triple platinum and sold over one million copies in the UK alone.
Further number one albums followed with Wild World (2016) and Give Me The Future (2022), alongside Doom Days (No.4, 2019) and the acclaimed documentary Bastille Re-Orchestrated. Their 2018 Happier collaboration with Marshmello has been streamed over 7 billion times. In 2023, the band celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Bad Blood with the release of Bad Blood X and a sold-out international run of shows and festivals.
That same year, they collaborated with multiple Academy Award and Grammy-winning composer Hans Zimmer on Pompeii MMXXIII, a powerful rework of their breakthrough hit that closed BBC’s Planet Earth III.
Following a two-year hiatus from performing live, Bastille are currently on the road for their From All Sides UK arena tour — a celebration of their first fifteen years. The band are using the tour to support Youth Music’s Rescue the Roots campaign, donating proceeds to help sustain grassroots youth music projects across the UK.
Simon Townsend, Eden Sessions director, said: "We're absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Bastille back to Eden next summer. Their last performance here was electric and a real highlight in the history of the Sessions, so it feels incredibly fitting to have them return as we celebrate the Eden Project's 25th anniversary."
