The Vamps (formed in 2012) are a British pop boyband consisting of Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball and Tristan Evans.

The Vamps are a fine example of how social media has brought like-minded individuals together and propelled acts to national and international stardom. Formed of Bradley William Simpson on lead vocals and guitar, James McVey on lead guitar and vocals, Connor Ball on bass guitar and vocals and Tristan Evan on drums and vocals.

Lead guitarist James McVey in 2011 was being managed by Prestige Management, however soon decided he’d like to form a band and soon found Brad Simpson through YouTube and began writing songs. The year after in 2012 the pair met Tristan Evans via Facebook and subsequently Connor Ball through a mutual friend. The band started uploading covers to their YouTube channel and amassed a young and enthusiastic fan base, and signed to Mercury Records at the tail end of 2012.

The Vamps secured support slots for on McFly’s Memory Lane Tour in April and May 2013 and for Selena Gomez at London, UK’s Hammersmith Apollo, which introduced the band to a much wider audience. The Vamps also supported Taylor Swift on the London leg of her 2014 tour for her album “Red”.

The band’s first original song entitled “Wildheart”, uploaded onto their Youtube account on the 22 July 2013 received well over 46,000 views within the first two days, and their follow-up “Can We Dance”, on the 6 August 2013, received over a million within two weeks. “Can We Dance” was later released on 29 September 2013, debuting at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart.

In April 2014 The Vamps released their long-awaited debut album “Meet The Vamps” to an understandable mass of fan-girl appreciation. The album charted at No. 2 in the UK Albums Chart, pipped to the top spot by Paolo Nutini’s “Caustic Love”.

Live reviews

I found out about The Vamps a few months ago, in fact I believe last December (as of July 27th currently), and ever since then I have been in love with their music and the boys themselves.

I used to be a total One Direction fan until I found The Vamps and let me just tell you: these guys are natural performers. They opened up for Austin Mahone and played "Last Night," "Wild Heart," "Trumpets" (a cover), "Can We Dance," "Somebody To You" (EP being released in a few weeks in the US), and "Oh Cecelia." They also showed the "Somebody To You" music video featuring Demi Lovato and Laura Marano.

Overall they were incredible, getting the crowd really excited and joking around with their bandmates (Brad Simpson as lead singer and guitarist, Tristan Evans on drums and backup vocals, James McVey as guitar and backup vocals, and Connor Ball as bassist and backup vocals), announcing to their crowd how amazing they are and loud compared to previous shows. They also told us lyrics to some songs they were going to sing so we could sing along to their music.

Speaking of their music, they had their first album released a month ago, including easily danceable songs like "Can We Dance" and "Wild Heart." I was pumping my fists and dancing throughout their whole performance because they were great at getting everyone excited. I was a little disappointed though because not many people actually knew who these guys were.

During the concert, Brad was running around the stage and dancing while changing up some notes on songs like in "Oh Cecelia" at the end he sang, "Oh CECELIAAAAA!" (screaming the note) and went insane, nodding his head and moving his fists around it was absolutely hilarious and fantastic at the same time to see him get so excited. He also seemed really happy whenever he told us to point to the band and say "Hey, YOU!" at certain parts in the song "Somebody To You." When we did, he said, "Whoa, that's awesome." He also got pretty sweaty while dancing and singing (who wouldn't? He was in Texas!), and he had a towel available to wipe down his face and arms. After doing so, he said, "Sorry guys, I'm pretty sweaty right now...who wants this towel?!" The crowd cheered him on and Brad continued, "Wow, that's pretty gross, alright!" Then proceeded to throw it into the air, being caught by a fan.

Towards the end of The Vamps' concert, Brad told the crowed to put their hands in the air, saying it like, "Now we want you all to put your hands in the air! There you go! Phew, we can smell all the BO from up here! Haha, it doesn't matter, keep them up there!" That should show you how energetic and optimistic the band was for the entire concert, not to mention them messing with Connor and Brad going up to the drum sets where Tristan was and dancing all over them!

I couldn't believe how little fans The Vamps had, some girls I talked to said "We have no idea who they are" when I told them I was here to see The Vamps. The band was ecstatic before and after the show when fans would come up to them for pictures, and they took the time to talk to each of them. They truly deserve more fans than they have (none of the boys have at least 1 million followers/subs!). Their music has a wide variety from total pop to acoustic-indie to Indie Rock. I would recommend anyone goes to see The Vamps whenever they come to their town, even if it's just an opening act because their performance was certainly not a forgettable one.

It was the best day ever! I went with my younger sister around 11am to the stadium and we met with some of her internet friends. We were so close to the door of our row, it was almost a dream come true! We talked a lot, listened music, shared some stories about our previous concerts. About 2 or 2.30 pm we went to eat at Burger King that it was crossing the street and other girls that we met there stayed taking care of our place. When we were returning to the line, I saw that the guards were putting some fences around the principal door, so I said we should stay there for a while and I was right! A few minutes later The Vamps arrived at the stadium and I saw them! They were just in front of my eyes! Everyone were calmed at first, but when they went out of the car the fans started to scream and it was insane! They went out one by one with their guard, and when it was the turn of James, a girl ran to him and hugged him! I shocked at that time, really, James is my crush and she just had hugged him! When they all were inside of the stadium the fans started to leave the principal door, but the guards didn't remove the fences, so I thought that The Tide were coming, and once again I was right! My sister and I went to the front of the fence, and when the car arrived, they went out one by one again (Austin & Nate touched my sister's hand!!!) When they were inside, my sister started to cry so hard, and I was literally shaking, then we all went back to our places on the line.

Some time later, when we were on our row, there were a lot of fans making another line, we went to ask and The Tide were doing an autographs signing. In that moment I didn't know them so I let my sister and her friend there waiting and I went to my place.

The night was coming slowly and we were getting so nervous...

It was around 7pm and the guards began to stand up to everyone. We were so excited... We made a huge group of girls there, and we started to sing every song from The Vamps and some other ones of others artists, we shouted to other fans, and we shouted from the bottom of our lungs because we were very excited and the guards wouldn't let us get inside yet.

We were there waiting about an hour and a half and finally they let us get in!

We were in f*cking front row of the floor, it wasn't next to the stage, if not it was in the back of the floor. When The Tide go on stage we started to scream and we didn't know the songs at first, but a few minutes later we were jumping and singing hahahahha

Around a hour later it was the turn of The Vamps! We cried a lot, we screamt a lot, we laughed a lot, it was so unreal.

It was one of my favourite concerts, it's the #1 at the time!

The Vamps were amazing to see live. I had been to the Fillmore Silver Springs before and was not suprised that the venue staff would be just as caring as they were.

The Vamps' opening acts, The Tide and Before You Exit, were both amazing to watch perform. The Tide are a new up and coming band and they definitlely got the whole crowd pumped up for the acts to come. Before You Exit were so much fun to watch. Both acts were great and really took advantage of the whole stage and got the whole crowd jumping.

As for the Vamps, they were beyond amazing. I've been to quite a few concerts and The Vamps has got to be my favorite. I stood on Connor Ball's (bassist) side but him and James were constantly switching sides and running around. Brad Simpson was so wonderful, his voice is so unique and the kind of voice you have to hear in person to give it justice. He danced the whole time and jumped into the crowd. The whole band are such great performers. Tristans drum solo helped give everyone a break from jumping to a song they recognized and gave us all a moment to appreciate just how talented of a drummer he truly is. Connor sang the famous MCR song "Teenagers" and James sang the Vamps "Move My Way". No band member was left out, each of them had their chance to shine and be heard.

I can not stress how amazing they are. They sang pop and pop punk covers that appealed to a wide variety of listeners and were popular as well as their signiture songs. The whole crowd was jumping and there was a beautiful moment when you realize that eveyone in the room, despite their differences, was all together enjoying a wonderful moment.

A special moment for me was being able to catch the attention of Connor Ball and have Tristans drumstick thrown right at me.

So if you're debating whether or not to pay to see the Vamps, your money will get used wisely and there's not another band quit like the Vamps.

This is the third time i have seen The Vamps live in manchester and they never seize to amaze me, They just get better and better each year, their whole stage persona is just incredible. The show they put on and the relationship in which they have with their fans is so genuine and the emotion they put into their songs is so moving when your their hearing it first hand. You can tell they are doing what they love and something which they have worked so hard for. Brad Simpson's talent vocal skills, sense of humour and his ability to communicate with the fans on such a personal level is something most headline acts struggle massively with. James McVey's talent, vocal skills and the emotion in which he puts into the music moves his many fans. Tristan Evan's pure pure talent is incredible, his drum solo is something to leave everyone in pure awe, being there in the room witnessing it first hand makes you feel the passion and talent something which listening to their music on a CD is maybe something you don't understand. Connor Ball's ability to capture the crowd and adds to the atmosphere of the whole excitement, making the crowd want to jump around and completely just let loose. Overall just an incredible act to witness live and i have never ever left one of their concerts with out feeling like i was on cloud nine and just feeling amazed and in awe of their whole act message and their relationship with the fans.

WOW! When i first found out about the arena tour i was at the 2014 'Meet The Vamps' Tour in Newcastle. I got rather excited when i found out i could get a ticket for just £9.50, i knew then that yes the seats wouldn't be like other concerts I've been to where i could literally reach my hand out and touch the person on stage, but i was ecstatic.

When my mum brought me the order form and i saw that we were in block E i wasnt sure how to feel knowing we were at the very back of the floor seating, but again i got over it.

When we arrived at the venue my fangirling level escalated at the Merch lining the walls and the dinky doughnuts but i was still yet to see how far away i was from the stage. And i can honestly say i nearly cried at the sight of exactly how far away we were.

I could admit that i was mostly upset at the fact that my phone couldnt even get a decent zoom on the huge screens, but infact it made the experience even better because i could actually enjoy it knowing that my mum had her camera and i had a good excuse as to why i didnt have any good pictures.

And once the acts started flooding on and off stage i didnt have a single care in the world besides seeing my idols having the time of their lives on stage.

Tristan's Drum solo was by far the most amazing thing to watch the lights the music and general atmosphere were simply electric.

Had such an AMAZING time seeing The Vamps in Birmingham on the 25th of March.

Brad, James, Tristan and Connor put on one of the BEST shows EVER!

Connor did really well even with his knee, although he struggled with his usually movements, he brushed it to one side and put on a fantastic show.‬

My Favourite part was definitely seeing ‪#‎Jonnor‬ perform my ALL TIME FAVOURITE the Vamps song: Written Off.

The support acts: HomeTown, Conor Maynard, and The Tide were also awesome.

The boys also had a few surprises up their sleeves when they invited New Hope Club to the stage to see Oh Cecelia with them and then OMI come on stage to perform the boys new song: I Found A Girl.

But the boys weren't done there; there was more surprises when Brad performed a solo version of a song off the THIRD album which they are currently working on, called Stay.

Fabulous night, the boys had so much energy from coming on with Risk It All, to returning for the encore and ending the show with Wake Up.

Definitely a great experience, and definitely got moneys worth, with the guys £10 tickets.

Thanks lads for EVERYTHING!

this was the best concert I've ever been to. we got there around 12 pm and the row was pretty long already. the doors opened at 6:30 pm and that was pretty chaotic. they splitted us in groups from 100 (I think) persons. I was in the first group, when the door opened everyone started pushing each other (that's normal though). when we were in, our tickets had to get scanned. after they scanned the tickets everyone started running because they wanted to be on the front row. some security quards told us to stop running and walk. when we were in the hall, the stage was right in the middle and there were curtains at both sides. we were at front row but in front of these curtains. the boxes were on the corners of the stage so we couldn't see tristan and brad (when he was playing piano). that was really ashame. if those boxes were on the ground (what they really should've done since there was a lot of space left) it should be even more amazing than it already was.

- another vampette

I think it was this specific concert venue, but the mics were too quiet compared to the rest of the instruments.

Also, my mom is a huge Rush fan. She and I were really impressed with the drumming and drum solos. I think The Vamps understood the drumming was really good as they gave the drummer as much stage playing as possible.

Overall, the visuals were really good and if you’re a fan of The Vamps, I really recommend it.

My mom hardly knew any of the songs and was ready to leave early to get enough sleep before our flight the next day, but the drumming and performance kept her captivated and she appreciated staying for the whole concert.

I of course was a fan and wanted to stay anyways. I was really staying to see New Hope Club But I was actually really impressed with The Vamps’ performance even more than I thought I’d be.

Basically, if you’re a fan of The Vamps or New Hope Club, I suggest you go. It was really good. :)

When i first heard that The Vamps were coming to my country i got so excited, because i had liked them for like a year and always wanted to go see them. I got a bit disappointed when none of my friends wanted to see them but i did´t want that to stop me from being my favourite band so i bought a ticket anyways.

And let´s just say it was worth any penny!! And they weren´t even the headliners, they were just a support band.

The show was amazing. You could literally feel their energy and they jumped around stage and just made everyone smile, jump and sing along.

And they sound AMAZING live too!

They just make you happy and i promise you, that you will not get dissapointed if you buy a ticket to see The Vamps.

Even if you aren´t THAT big of a fan, you will be though after the concert :).

Years ago, these guys were FANTASTIC in concert. Lively, upbeat and very enjoyable. This gig not so much.

The "backbone" of their music is the punchy, driving rhythms that makes their music entertaining and danceable. That was missing.

Guys, get back to what you are good at.

Best bits - Wild Heart, Wake

Not so Good - Missing you, Somebody to You (why was this acoustic?? - FAIL!)

Missing - Shades On, Cecila (both good examples of the songs with driving rhythms that I mentioned above).

Only about 3/4 full and having to give away tickets to get people to go is not a good sign guys....

Third time I have seen The Vamps in concert... wondering if it will be the last time I see them in concert... especially at The O2.

Mike, SW19.

The Vamps announce global dates for ‘Greatest Hits’ 10th anniversary tour

The Vamps are taking their ‘Greatest Hits’ 10th anniversary show on the road. 

The boyband is celebrating a decade since they formed with a string of UK dates this autumn, which they’ll take internationally next spring.

The Vamps tease sixth studio album amid 10th anniversary celebrations: ‘Our approach will be different’

“We are so excited to announce we will be bringing our 10 Year Anniversary Greatest Hits tour to Australia, Asia and Europe next year,” they said in an announcement. 

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Vamps (@thevamps)

“It’s been a while since we’ve been back to see some of you and it’s going to be a blast.”

Beginning February 1 in Brisbane, Australia, the boys will perform a mammoth run of dates before wrapping in Warsaw, Poland on March 27. 

For on sale dates, head over to The Vamps’ social media pages. 

The group, which formed in 2012 and released debut album ‘Meet The Vamps’ in 2014, have delivered five albums over the past seven years, including chart-toppers ‘Night & Day (Night Edition)’ and ‘Cherry Blossom’.

Speaking in the September 2022 edition of Retro Pop, the group revealed plans to begin work on a new LP in 2023.  

“It’s open ended, but I think we’ll start writing what will be the sixth album in the middle of next year,” says Bradley Simpson. “That’s the loose idea at the moment. We are best friends, so we look forward to getting in the studio together. 

“On the last album, we did Airbnbs, so we’d book a week away together, take the studio with us, and it’s just fun. It’s work, but it’s a holiday too.”

However, they insist there’s no pressure to return to the studio and, when it come to the group’s future output, they’re planning to take their time and enjoy the process. 

“​​A lot of bands wouldn’t put out five albums in the space of seven years,” he adds. “So I think there are certain things that we’ve looked back on over the past 10 years that we’re really glad that we did, but our approach to albums will be different now and it’ll maybe be at a slower pace.”

The group’s 10th anniversary tour will be a celebration of a decade of hits, and Tristan Evans is looking forward to revisiting some of their lesser-performed material. 

“This is, for us, an excuse to play all of our songs together,” he beams. “This is like the ‘Today’s Top Hits’ playlist for The Vamps. 

“Before, we’ve only promoted specific albums, but for this one, it’s like this is ‘The Vamps show’, so technically it’s like the first Vamps tour we’ve ever done.”

Published on

From posting videos in 2012 on YouTube that brought the band together to multiple arena tours and number one albums, It’s been a whirlwind decade for The Vamps, who are celebrating their remarkable decade with ’10 Years Of The Vamps’ – a campaign which will see them perform a ‘Greatest Hits’ tour in the UK and Ireland in November and December and release a special anniversary fanzine on October 14.

“It’s crazy to think what started in our bedrooms and Tristan’s parent’s garage led to us headlining arenas all around the world”, the band said in a statement. “The past 10 years have been an incredible journey but what makes it even more special is that it has felt like a shared one between us and our fans. The Vamps have taken us across all five continents and given us the privilege of playing in front of millions of people. These five albums are chapters in our lives and moments we are hugely proud of. This last year has been one of reflection for us and as four best friends who’ve had the chance to live out our dreams we now can’t wait to celebrate these memories with you all.”

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

The Vamps reveal favourite tour memories, advice from Taylor Swift’s mum and taking time out to live as they celebrate 10 year anniversary 

Share this with

Brad Simpson, Tristan Evans, James Brittain-McVey and Connor Ball are set to celebrate 10 years as The Vamps by celebrating their achievements across the past decade with Greatest Hits Arena Tour. 

The foursome, who got together in 2012, have achieved huge success in the past 10 years, after kicking off their career thanks to YouTube. 

They’ve since generated over six billion streams, over two billion views on the band’s YouTube channel, released five albums including two number ones with 2017’s Night & Day (Night Edition) and 2020’s Cherry Blossom, and became the first band to headline London ’s O2 five years in a row. 

So what better time to sit down with James, Brad, Connor and Tristan to take a look back at the past 10 years of The Vamps?

Take us back to 2012 – how did it all begin?

Brad: ‘It all started when me and James met after he found me online. We met at my house in Birmingham and we started writing songs together and we just clicked. 

‘We started doing covers of bands on YouTube, which started to get a bit of traction. We met Connor the exact same way through YouTube, we saw a cover that he was doing and we loved it and thus the band was formed. 

‘During that process, we got a record deal to Mercury Records and began writing our first album in amongst doing all these covers. So whilst we were working on our album behind the scenes, we were trying our best to garner a global fan base and start reaching out to people as far and as wide as we could.’

You guys started out on YouTube, but the landscape of social media has changed so much. How did you harness the power of that platform to your benefit at the time?

Brad: ‘The music industry has changed a lot in the 10 years that we’ve also been about. And YouTube was very interesting, because as with TikTok now, whatever you were creating, you had to do something that stood out and gave you a USP, because there was so much noise on there. 

‘So we were trying to do covers of big songs in a way that sounded like The Vamps, we made them feel like our songs in a way that really influenced how our first album sounded, because we started to already build a sound as an acoustic driven pop band.’

When did you first realise that The Vamps was going to be a success?

James: ‘I have quite a vivid memory of walking to the pub in Dorset. I think it was with either Tristan or Brad, I can’t remember. It was the week after we were filmed busking outside a record label and I remember looking at our follower count going up like, on a Saturday night just watching that, and literally every time we refreshed it we’d have like another like two followers, which was kind of crazy. 

‘There’s also moments like when we did a performance at Westfield in White City quite early on in the band and around 500 people came. That was, I think, the first performance that we’d ever done and that was kind of crazy, having people actually come to something. 

‘Another moment that also made us think “S**t, this is actually working” was the first time we got over 100,000 views on a video for a One Direction cover. There’s definitely a few moments in that infancy period that that jump out for sure.’

With social media being such a huge part of the start of the band, how has your relationship with it changed over the years? 

Tristan: ‘Personally, for me,  I don’t really let people know what I’m doing every day. I think it’s because I just want to enjoy the moment rather than go straight to recording it. 

‘There’s positives and negatives to that, obviously, as I don’t show the world the exciting moments, but I also kind of keep them to myself. So I’m still not sure what the right decision is, but for me my happiness, I think it’s kind of nice to keep what I’m doing on that day to myself in a weird way. 

‘I do love to get involved when I can and when I’ve actually remembered to take it but I’m actually quite bad at reminding people of what’s going on.’

James: ‘I made the decision pretty early on to just be transparent with absolutely everything in my life, good and bad, and the main reason I did that is so I couldn’t be caught out or feel like it was an invasion of my privacy.

‘There are limits, like people turning up at my parents’ house is a little bit too much. But like, my relationship with my wife, issues that I’ve had, moments of celebration, I think I’d rather just give everyone everything so that I don’t feel that tension to try and hide away from it. 

‘But what I would say is that I’m getting to a point in life now where I’m really frustrated that social media has somehow become like the currency of life and that’s what people use to qualify success. 

‘Every day, for the past 10 years, I’ve done something on social media for The Vamps or for myself, so I’m getting to the point where I’m just gonna maybe stop using it altogether, just maybe delete it and try and actually live life for myself, as opposed to living life for social media.’

While you guys show us a lot of your lives, what tour memories stand out for you that didn’t make it onto social media?

Tristan: ‘Manila was quite cool the first time we went and we played this amazing arena. Plus, we had this really funny night out where we stayed in the hotel in the rooftop bar and we just ended up partying with the staff.’

Brad: ‘There was the cast of a production of Beauty and the Beast which we didn’t realise at the time, but later in the night we were partying and thought “B***dy hell, these guys are very good dancers,” and then it transpired that they were the spoons and the forks in Beauty and the Beast! It was a hell of a night.’

Connor, you could have impressed them with your Dancing On Ice moves!

Co nnor: ‘To be fair, I didn’t really do much dancing – I just skated and tried to do as little of the  actual dancing as I could because I’m not good at that and I’ll admit that.’

Tristan: ‘I don’t know about that – I beg to differ!’

Connor: ‘That was the one thing I struggled with actually. And not to sound like an alcoholic but I couldn’t have a drink before we’d skate like when we do a show to get rid of the nerves. 

‘I still managed to break the record for the most amount of stitches they gave a contestant in one series. I have a lot of scars. 

‘I’ve not been skating once since the show finished, which is quite sad because I did enjoy it a lot. But I don’t trust myself anymore.’

You guys are heading out on the road later in the year – what can we expect from the tour now the scars have healed up?

Brad: ‘We’ve never done a tour where we haven’t got an album that we’re either promoting or jumping off the back of, so this is purely a celebration of the five albums that we’ve done as well as the EP. 

‘So there’s a lot of music there that we can pick and choose from, we’re going to get the fans involved so they can help choose the setlist every night. 

‘There’s a lot of people who feel part of this 10 year journey with us, so for them too, it’s a celebration of certain moments in their lives that our music has narrated. 

‘So these fans may have been going through big points of turmoil or big changes or happy moments, and our music, very gratefully has been the soundtrack to those moments, so it’s about celebrating all of that and just having two hours of fun, fireworks and flames.’

Tristan: ‘It’s gonna be a big, big, big show, like biggest show we’ve ever done. So we wouldn’t want anyone to miss it, it’s gonna be really sick.’

How much does it mean to you all to have been the soundtrack to your fans’ lives in this way?

Connor: ‘There’s a lot of tattoos which we’ve written over the years and they’re like song lyrics or titles and things like that, which I think is really special that they’d want to take something that we’ve created and put it there on their bodies forever. It’s just pretty cool.’

You’ve worked with some incredible people over the years, what’s the best advice you have been given during the past 10 years?

Tristan: ‘I spoke to Taylor [Swift’s] mum, I remember I was just really young, very early in our career, and I was speaking to her quite naively I’d say, and she kind of corrected me, saying that “you shouldn’t rely on these people, you should really just focus on how you’re gonna make it happen and just pretend like you’re the only person in your team,” so that was pretty cool.’

Following the 10 year anniversary tour, when can we look forward to new music?

James: ‘At some point! But I think like we’ve done five albums and and EP in a pretty short space of time, compared to other bands who’d usually do about three albums in that time. 

‘So I think we’re gonna do something with it being 10 years of The Vamps, there may be something coming, but I think new music may be a couple of years off, which I imagine for any other band is quite a normal thing to hear, but I think for a Vamps fan that’s a longer break.

‘But I think we just need some time to live, especially after having a couple of years with the pandemic we’ve not really been able to do that much, so I think we need to live and then write about it for a bit.’

Promise us you’re not going to pull a One Direction-style hiatus on us and never come back?

Brad: ‘Absolutely not! I think we’re conscious of always feeding the fans – we’re gonna have things over the next few years, if it’s not new music, it will be stuff that keeps people engaged and is exciting for a Vamps fan. There’ll be stuff going on.’

They set themselves apart of their peers with grand-scale theatrics accompanied with exquisite songwriting and guitar playing. They have gone on to play hundreds of sold out shows and continued to establish their fanbase with annual events curated by the band, most notably the legendary “HALLOWEEN PARTY”.

Dates for the shows can be seen below, as well as, the bands latest lyric video for their track “UNDERWORLD”.

To Celebrate 10 Years Of The Vamps The Band Announce The Greatest Hits Tour – Coming Through The UK And Ireland This November And December

Tickets will be on sale from 1 july, while a special anniversary fanzine compiled by the fans and band will be released 14 october..

They started by posting videos back in 2012 on YouTube, (see some of those early videos here / here ) and have moved on to multiple arena tours and number one albums…It’s certainly been one hell of a decade for The Vamps!

Some facts:

• The Vamps have generated so far more than 6 billion streams
• Over two billion views of those were on the bands YouTube channel alone 
• They have released five albums , including two #1’s : 2017s ‘Night & Day (Night Edition)’ and their most recent album, 2020’s ‘Cherry Blossom’; two more of their albums hit the #2 spot – 2014s ‘Meet the Vamps’ and 2018s ‘Night & Day (Day Edition)’
• They have played global tours and festivals that has seen them play to over 2 million people
• They became the first band to headline The O2 five years in a row
• They’ve played on the biggest US chat shows like Ellen and Seth Myers
• Amongst others, they have collaborated with Shawn Mendes, Demi Lovatto,  Sigala, Krept & Konan , Tini, Matoma, Bruno Mars and many more!
• Played and shared stages with Coldplay, Jay Z, Taylor Swift, Kings Of Leon, Weezer , Ed Sheeran, Pharell Williams, Sam Smith
• They’ve created their own festival – The Vamps Weekender in Barcelona
• They’ve drunk shots with Dave Grohl backstage, hung out with Sean Paul at Woodstock, been held at gunpoint at airports, played for royalty (and put hot drinks on priceless tables and carried muddy football boots through their houses!)
• There’s also been ice skating competitions, jungles, driving lessons and dating shows!

It’s time to celebrate!

“It’s crazy to think what started in our bedrooms and Tristan’s parent’s garage led to us headlining arena’s all around the world. The past 10 years have been an incredible journey but what makes it even more special is that it has felt like a shared one between us and our fans. The Vamps have taken us across all five continents and given us the privilege of playing in front of millions of people. These five albums are chapters in our lives and moments we are hugely proud of. This last year has been one of reflection for us and as four best friends who’ve had the chance to live out our dreams we now can’t wait to celebrate these memories with you all.”

Kicking off in Manchester at the O2 Apollo on 23 November, the 10 Years Of The Vamps – The Greatest Hits Tour will see the band perform all the hits  from across the decade that has made them become one of the most loved and celebrated pop bands in the UK.

Tickets are on sale from 1 July at www.thevamps.net/dates/

What is daily life in rural Russia? How the traditional Russian village still looks like? This is a very popular question among  foreign travelers.

This August we visited a small Russian village located in the middle of nowhere that is just 250 km from Moscow.

Our 4x4 Journey to Rybachy and Solovki Islands.

Very emotional and existential article about Russia Arctic, its abandoned settlements and severe nature. Amazing if you have time for philosophical thoughts.

Spend four hours off-roading through the mud and then climbing underground to walk 15-km wild catacombs in Moscow? EASY!

This kind of weekend is quite typical for some Russians (who loves adventures, of course). A couple of journalists joined Tony to see how his Adventure tour really looks!

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Tours to Moscow

Our Moscow tours are land only meaning that you arrange your own air travel to Russia and our expert staff meets you at the airport and handles everything else from there. Our online Airline Ticket booking system offers some of the most competitive rates to Russia available on the web so if you need tickets, please visit our Russian air ticket center .

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.
