About The Vamps:

The Vamps – singer Bradley Will Simpson, guitarist James McVey, drummer Tristan Evans, and bassist Connor Ball – were first introduced to U.S. audiences with Somebody To You, their 4-song debut EP that entered the Billboard 200 albums chart at #10 in the summer 2014.  The EP picked up the highest first week sales of any EP in the history of Claire’s, the young women’s global retailer with 3,500 stores in 47 countries worldwide. 

The Vamps were subsequently named a Radio Disney “Next Big Thing” artist, and were voted by fans to be part of LIFT, the influential emerging artists program established by #1 music destination VEVO.  “Somebody To You” was later nominated for Best Collabo­ra­tion at the 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards.  At home during 2013-2014, the Vamps swept several major awards galas, including the 4Music Video Honours, the Hot Hits Awards, and France’s MFA (Melty Future Awards).  At the BBC Radio 1 Teens Awards, they won Best British Breakthrough, Best British Group, and Best British Single for “Last Night,” beating out Sam Smith, One Direction, Ed Sheeran, and the 1975. In the summer of 2014, The Vamps joined Austin Mahone’s two-month Secret Tour of North America, which co-starred fellow Island Records star Shawn Mendes.  

The Vamps have picked up a phenomenal amount of success over the past two years. Meet The Vamps went multi-platinum in many countries across the globe and reached #2 on the UK national chart. Their first five singles have combined sales over 10 million.
