Bastille have proclaimed their love for several acts that they've shared several festival stages with - adding that The 1975, Haim and Azealia Banks should all be headliners in the future. 

The band, who have now had their album go 2x Platinum in the UK and sold out huge venues such as Alexandra Palace, are no doubt headed towards equally big things themselves.

Talking to Gigwise following their recent HP Connected Music show in London, we asked them about bands that they're a fan of that they could imagine headlining festivals in the future.

"I reckon The 1975 will be headlining festivals in a year or so," said frontman Dan Smith.

He continued by saying: "Jillian Banks also, we've seen a lot of her. And Haim - there is a lot of good music about at the moment."

All three of these artists are rapidly rising, with The 1975 set to headline a show at Alexandra Palace and Haim having finished touring their critically lauded debut album Days Are Gone.

Commenting on other new music out at the moment, Smith said: "I got the new La Roux album in the post today and that is so good."

The light show at Bastille's HP Connected Music show was  an innovative new music experience powered by HP technology for the Next Generation of music lovers, in which the audience were in control of an interactive dance floor that directed the visual experience at the gig. 

Bastille are set to play a large set on the main stage at V Festival later next month, alongside Lily Allen, Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran and Elbow. For more information visit Gigwise Tickets.
