Royal Blood will perform at Eden Sessions on June 22nd.
It’s Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher‘s first confirmed UK gig of 2017 as their second album draws closer. A teaser video for the duo’s much anticipated follow-up to the 2014 self-titled debut was posted towards the end of last year after Kerr told NME of its origins in the back of a tour bus. “I built a studio in the back of our bus,” he said.
“It’s very hard to write when everything keeps falling over because the driver’s taken a massive corner. It was our writing den – we’d have Clint Eastwood movies playing with the volume down.”
The debut was undoubtedly one of the biggest rock breakouts of recent times, going number one in the UK and later receiving Mercury Prize and Brit Awards nominations.
