The Vamps’ holiday plans, bucket list for 2023

Connor Ball

What are the British pop band The Vamps’ plans for the holidays, and what else is there on its members’ bucket list for 2023?

Connor Ball, bassist

Family time. A lot of my family members come together from Scotland and other places. It’s just going to be chill family vibes for us—until someone brings the Monopoly (board game) out. That’s when everyone argues!

I never really do New Year’s resolutions, because if I want to do something, then I will just get started on it now. I’m impatient and would rather not wait until next year. But hopefully, I just want to continue being super dedicated to all the music that we’re doing and enjoy every minute of it.

I haven’t seen my family in about two years, so I will probably go visit them. It has been a while, so I’m just going to chill in the snow, get cold, get Christmassy, share some presents with my family and eat some good food. I’ll just be chilling.

I think I might get a tattoo next year. It’s just a little new thing for me because I don’t have any. I’m going to get covered. The next time you see me … wow! (laughs) I was just thinking of getting an “X” tattoo for our 10th anniversary, like Connor did. And I’m thinking of having it on the same post he had it (shows the base of his right thumb). It looks really cool. James (lead guitarist) also has that tattoo, so Brad (vocalist) and I should probably get one, too.
