Bastille - Olympia, Dublin

Speaking to the Irish Examiner months ago, Bastille’s Dan Smith criticised the personalised media backlash against his band. What bothered him was the tittering about his Tintin quiff.

“We have received some horrible shit. We, as a band, never received any support from the press. It’s just so depressingly predictable that the broadsheet press would kick-back with some very personal responses. It sucks, to be honest.”
