BASTILLE are pleased to announce an intimate run of shows across major cities in both UK and Europe in February and March 2019. The live shows will give fans the opportunity to hear new material ahead of the release of their hugely anticipated third album out late spring 2019. Dan Smith says, “We’ve spent most of this last year working on loads of new music and touring different versions of our songs so now we’re excited to head back out and revisit more intimate rooms and play a bunch of new songs in the lead up to our new album”.

As already known, AMANDA PALMER’s new studio album, ‘There Will Be No Intermission’, will be released on March 8th. Today the artist announces tour dates for 2019 in the UK and Europe and releases the new single ‘Voicemail for Jill’, a scorching and rugged, classically-styled piano song inspired by Palmer’s lifelong role as pro-choice activist and confidante for women (and men) who have had the complicated, often very private, experience of having to terminate a pregnancy. The song - written after a tour and during the landmark referendum in Dublin on the legalization of abortion - has been slumbering in her pile of songs for ages. She describes it as a “white whale of songwriting,” according to Palmer, who herself has undergone three abortions and has been “struggling for years to find the right way to write about the subject without sentimentality, preaching or apologizing”.

Always forward, step by step, we are getting closer to the Amphi Festival 2019 every day. Hence today's four new bands conclude the current line-up their very own way which perhaps could suprise some of you out there: WHITE LIES, COMA ALLIANCE, ASH CODE, SEELENNACHT!

For WHITE LIES currently everything's centering around the figure "five". Their recently released fifth album titled "FIVE" once more combines dashing stadium-class wave-rock with many influences from the 80s between synthpop and post-punk building up to a hymnic overall package topped by the distinctive voice Harry McVeigh's. White Lies are more than just a Big TV, they go for the grand cinema!
