Bastille's Dan Smith: 'We've never looked back and celebrated'

The last 15 years have been a whirlwind for Bastille, one of the UK's biggest pop rock acts.

The songs that frontman Dan Smith started secretly writing on his laptop spawned the global mega hit that was their single Pompeii, and three number one albums, and there has barely been time to pause and reflect.

"I think we've never really been a band that looks back that much, and that acknowledges or celebrates the things that we've done. We're always thinking about the next thing," says 39-year-old Smith.

But now, the next thing is looking back, with the band, who formed in 2010, pulling their five studio albums and four mix tapes together for a retrospective tour named From All Sides.
