A GLOBALLY-RENOWNED indie-pop superstar group is set to play a "special outdoor show" in the stunning surroundings of Ludlow Castle.

English indie outfit Bastille plays a mix of 80’s synth pop and joyful indie choruses to create a catalogue of hits which have launched the group into global success.

Now, Bastille celebrates the 10th anniversary of its multi-platinum debut album ‘Bad Blood’ within the grounds of the castle, a stone's throw from Herefordshire.

Their number one, certified triple platinum-selling debut album, which features a host of huge singles including contagiously catchy Pompeii, the blissfully upbeat Flaws and the anthemic title track Bad Blood, was released in 2013.

They will celebrate the 10-year milestone at the medieval castle on Sunday, July 23, 2023.

Bastille has firmly cemented itself as a live force and one of the world’s most captivating live bands and a regular across arenas and festival performances worldwide, notably storming Boardmasters, Reading and Leeds, and headlining Kendal Calling earlier this year, solidifying themselves as fan and festival favourites globally.

Organisers Futuresound said Ludlow Castle will be the perfect location to catch what will be a "unique and awe-inspiring" event.

It homes the fascinating story of siege and conflict hailing back from the 11th century and next July will welcome the chance to catch a new piece of history as the venue hosts world-class artists within the grounds of this impressive heritage site.

Today marks the first announcement of a series of shows to take place within the castle walls next summer.

Speaking about next year’s performance, Ludlow Castle general manager Gemma England said: “We are excited to be working with Futuresound to bring this event to our wonderful Castle, we are certain it will provide a brilliant backdrop for what is sure to be a great night of music.

"It goes without saying that this is wonderful for Ludlow and the income it will generate for local businesses”.
