About This Event

Bastille bring their anthemic indie-pop to Colchester Castle Park on Sunday 23 August 2026, with the performance beginning at 1pm. The band, renowned for stadium-filling choruses and theatrical stagecraft, will perform beneath the open sky against the backdrop of the historic Norman castle. Their set draws on a decade of hits, from the pulsing urgency of Pompeii to the layered electronics of later albums, crafting a sound that swells and recedes like the park’s own seasonal rhythms. This outdoor setting allows the music to drift across the grass, with the crowd gathered in a natural amphitheatre of earth and stone. The atmosphere promises to be one of communal release, where the band’s soaring melodies and dramatic flourishes resonate against ancient walls. Ticket prices are available on the venue’s website.
