UK’s Royal Blood are on their way back to Australian waters, as they kick off their Australia/New Zealand tour tonight in Auckland, ahead of their Australian dates this weekend.
The tour has been a long time coming, with the duo – Mike Kerr & Ben Thatcher – having last played shows out here in 2018. Since then, they’ve released no less than two new full length albums, 2021’s Typhoons and their latest, Back To The Water Below. You can listen to that album HERE.
That record scored them their third consecutive #1 in the UK. Plus, they arrive in Australia off the back of a massive run of dates across Europe, UK, US and Canada, so you know they’re incredibly match fit at this point.
On a personal note, this marks the almost 10 year anniversary of us first interviewing the now iconic duo at SXSW 2014. So I think that means we can officially call them legends now? Rewatch that interview here:
They’re going to be supported by Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and The Buoys at all Australian shows. So be sure to get there early. The full run of dates are below, which includes a couple of festivals – Let The Good Times Roll Festival on the Central Coast, and Changing Tides Festival in Kiama.
