Rock band Bastille, best known for global hits Pompeii and Happier, will be wowing crowds this weekend at Powderham Castle for a special one off show as part of their nationwide tour. The series of special shows commemorate Bad Blood X and marks the 10th anniversary of the band's chart-topping debut album.

Since then, ‘Bad Blood’ has gone on to achieve triple platinum status with over one million copies sold in the UK alone.
