12 Reasons Bastille Should Bring Their Reorchestrated Tour To The U.S.

Instagram

On April 10, 2018, Bastille began their Reorchestrated Tour. This tour, which centered around the idea of taking their classic indie-pop music and mashing it with a choir and orchestra, was a bit of a gamble, but it quickly paid off. Almost immediately the entire tour, which was just a short eight stops across Europe and featured To Kill a King and Charlie Barnes as openers, sold out!

Since news broke that the tour sold out, there have been rumors that they would bring the tour to the United States as well. However, the full tour has now officially ended, and there is still no news of an American tour. Which is sad, because we NEED an American tour! It would be INCREDIBLE!

If you aren't completely convinced, here are twelve reasons Bastille should bring the Reorchestrated Tour to the US

1. It’s Time For Another Bastille Tour!

Okay, this one is really just me being selfish. I am SO READY to see them live again! It's been almost a year!

2. It’s a Beautiful Reimagining of All of Their Best Songs

See on Instagram

Okay, maybe not all the BEST ones - they didn't play "The Driver," and we still don't know what has happened to "Grip," but they play all of their beloved classics like "Bad Blood" and "Glory." Songs that would sound incredible at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN...

3. But They’re Still the Songs We Know and Love

Listen to that gorgeous version of "Pompeii!" I NEED to be able to hear this in person!!

4. The Joy of Watching Dan Smith Forget His Own Lyrics

It's precious and adorable, and witnessing Dan forget the lyrics to a song in person is kind of part of the Stormer Bucketlist,

5. It Might Be the Only Way U.S. Fans Can See To Kill A King Live

Unfortunately, they aren't super popular here (which is a shame, because they're incredible), so they generally don't tour in the U.S. unless they're with Bastille!

6. Same With Charlie Barnes!

Charlie is so incredibly talented, and I NEED to see him live!!

7. “Choices”

This song is easily one of To Kill A King's best, but it's even better live! Adding Dan Smith and Charlie Barnes to it just makes it even more magical! Everyone deserves a chance to experience this magic live!

8. Annie Oakley Hanging

Fans have been waiting for the almost-mythical side project of Dan Smith and Ralph Pelleymounter to finally officially release something. Technically, there's still no album or single, BUT they finally sang one of their songs live! It would be incredible to actually be able to witness it in person...

9. Dan’s Adorable Dancing

Honestly, Dan's dancing and hopping is the highlight of any tour they do!

10. Charlie's Dancing, Too!

You have not LIVED until you've watched Charlie Barnes sing and dance onstage!

11. All the Amazing New Content on Social Media

We need more spinny videos. It's just a fact. And another tour means more spinny videos...

12. They All Seem So Happy On This Tour Together, and the First One Was Just Too Short

Just look at how happy they all are! They are like this in every picture and/or video from this tour! Bastille, To Kill a King, and Charlie Barnes should always tour together!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
