Bastille’s Woody to drum at Plymouth Argyle football match

Bastille drummer Chris ‘Woody’ Wood is to take part in Plymouth Argyle’s League Two play-off semi-final on Thursday (14th May).

The team - who Woody has supported since childhood - will need to overturn a 3-2 first leg score against Wycombe Wanderers to reach the final - and he’s been invited to drum in the crowd during the match.

“I’m probably more nervous doing this than I was on the main Isle of Wight stage in front of 40,000 people,” he told the BBC. “I might have to get a helping hand from everyone nearby because there are one or two songs I don’t know, having not been in the Devonport End all season.”

Bastille have been working on the follow-up to 2013 twice-platinum debut ‘Bad Blood’, and last year’s ‘VS’ EP.
