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.
“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.
“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.

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.”
