To support their first album, the boy released one more single soon. The Vamps “Last Night” was released on the 6th of April, 2014.

The fans were looking forward to see their favorite group on the stage. The success of tour was so loud, that the members of the group added two more places that were not planned to visit at once. They were Cardiff and Bournemouth.
Later two more tours of the group were planned. In 2015 the boys were extremely busy with Asia Pacific Tour. The vamps tickets were sold in Manila, Tokyo and Sydney. The fans came to the live concerts of the group to sing and dance with them and simply to have fun. The clear voices of the group members, their jolly music and enthusiasm were worth watching.
The end of the year is going to be busy for The Vamps too. They take part in UK Arena tour.
The schedule of young fellows is really tight. Often they are asked, if it is possible for them to work all day long, when they are young and want just to entertain.
Brad Simpson told in his interview, that they are ready to work a lot and not only making their own songs. They are ready to help other young talents to get their first contract. “We were helped by other people and we are going to help too”.
The Vamps are young, fresh and enthusiastic. Hopefully, they will continue to develop their first professional success!
