Brad Simpson, Connor Ball, Tristan Evans and James McVey are The Vamps – the pop rock four-piece that rocked onto the scene a decade ago, and have grown into the colossal indie pop phenomenon taking over the world!

Ever since the release of their first record Meet The Vamps, the pop-enthused guitar-based boy band have gone from strength to strength having hit No. 1 twice with albums Night & Day and Cherry Blossom. They can boast eight top 40 hits, including five top 10s in addition to packing out venues around the globe having completed numerous international tours.

This summer sees them join the impressive roster of major headliners announced for Kew The Music. Also topping the bill on different days are Bastille, Jack Savoretti, The Human League, Haçienda Classical plus Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. They all hit Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London throughout July –  CLICK HERE to check out the full details for Kew The Music and book your tickets with Gigantic!

 

 

The Vamps were quick to grab attention, with their first original song "Wild Heart" racking up 46,000 views on YouTube within two days of posting! They would follow up with the debut single "Can We Dance" which shot to No. 2 in the charts, bolstered by 1 million YouTube streams.

Their major success was soon recognised, and the boys began picking up trophies at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards, winning four categories including Best British Group and Best British Single with “Last Night” – their second No. 2 single.

 

 

Riding high, first album Meet The Vamps dropped in 2014 and contained all the hit singles that had taken the band so far plus their feel-good summery song "Somebody to You". It would see them narrowly missing topping the chats, later reaching platinum-selling certification.

Having been truly established, their success continued with their second Top 10 album Wake Up which has also been certified Gold, going on to finally reach No. 1 with both their third record Night & Day in the summer of 2017 and their latest offering Cherry Blossom which was unleashed in the latter months of 2020.
