Royal Blood 2017

ANNOUNCE EXCLUSIVE HEADLINE SHOW AT SYDNEY’S METRO THEATRE THIS JULY!

Frontier Touring and I OH YOU are thrilled to announce that British rockers Royal Blood will return to Australian shores this July!

After acclaimed sold out concerts in 2014, the Brighton bass-and-drum duo are back to perform an exclusive one-off headline show at Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Thursday 20 July before headlining this year’s epic and already sold out Splendour In The Grass. Tickets for Royal Blood’s only Australian headline show go on sale Friday 28 April.

Since forming in 2013, the two-man band of Mike Kerr (bass guitar/vocals) and Ben Thatcher (drums) have taken their unique bluesy-psychedelic rock sound across the globe playing iconic festival stages at SXSW, Coachella, Reading and Leeds, and T in The Park as well as support slots for rock legends Foo Fighters and Guns N’ Roses. Their 2014 self-titled debut became the fastest-selling British rock debut in three years and hit #1 in the UK and #3 in Australia, as well as top 20 in 12 countries, including the USA.

In November 2016, Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher, along with producer Jolyon Thomas, spent six weeks in a studio in Brussels that was decked out like a New York diner and featured a warehouse of antique gear. How Did We Get So Dark? (out 16 June through Warner) was subsequently completed after a final session in London with their debut album’s co-producer Tom Dalgety.
