Bastille’s frontman, Dan Smith, recently graced the airwaves on Apple Music 1’s Deep Hidden Meaning Radio, joining the legendary Nile Rodgers for a gripping conversation. The duo delved into a wide range of topics, from their recent US tour collaboration to Dan’s extraordinary journey in the music industry.

One of the highlights of the interview was Dan’s candid discussion of the palpable fear that overcame Bastille when they shared the stage with Nile’s iconic band, Chic. The sheer magnitude of performing alongside such legends left the British outfit in awe, and it was a fear that resonated with the time they had previously opened for another iconic group, The Roots.

Dan shared his experience of being in the presence of these musical giants, shedding light on the pressures and the adrenaline that comes with it. The audience got an inside look at the raw emotions that accompany such awe-inspiring moments in a musician’s career.
