Info
Palace Bowl Presents brings together Bastille and The Wombats for an open-air show at Crystal Palace Bowl, London, on 13 August 2026. Formed in London in 2010 around singer and songwriter Dan Smith, Bastille grew from a solo project into a quartet with Kyle Simmons, Will Farquarson and Chris Wood. Their writing moves between indie pop, pop rock and synth-pop, built on melodic refrains, restrained electronics and a taste for cinematic storytelling. From Bad Blood and its breakout singles to the darker edges of Wild World and Doom Days, through the sleek textures of Give Me the Future and the more acoustic turn of & (2024), the band balances bounce and introspection, threading early tracks with more recent explorations.
Born in Liverpool in 2003, The Wombats unite Matthew Murphy, Dan Haggis and Tord Øverland Knudsen. Rooted in 2000s British indie rock, their songs tighten post-punk energy, punchy guitars and increasingly synthetic colours, carried by danceable basslines and sticky choruses. Across A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation, This Modern Glitch, Glitterbug, Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life, Fix Yourself, Not the World and Oh! The Ocean (2025), the trio explores anxiety, relationships and everyday contradictions with brisk, hook-led writing.
Support comes from Prima Queen, Cherryholt and a Propaganda DJ set.
