The Vamps reveal crazy rider request and dream stage duet

'Wild Heart' hitmakers The Vamps recently sat down for a chat with Company magazine and joked that if they could ask for anything on their tour rider, it would be a kitten. 

When asked if there's anything unusual on the list of what they require backstage, member Brad Simpson explained that it's pretty normal although there's one really unusual thing they would like: "We ask for Haribo and honey and that’s pretty much it! Or ginger tea for our voices, but we’d love to start asking for a kitten every time."

The heartthrob then opened up about his band's dream stage duet and confessed that it would be between Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran: "Maroon 5 because they are quite band-y so a good set-up. Or Ed Sheeran; he’s pretty chilled so think we’d have a good time with him."

Simpson then admitted that The Vamps like to use Instagram to document their tours and festival appearances, and they all have a favourite filter to use: "Filter-wise, Valencia is good. It makes your skin look better and creates a summer vibe. We used to do a lot of X-Pro but have changed our ways!"
