Royal Blood London

Introduction

Get ready, London! The electrifying duo Royal Blood are set to descend upon the magnificent Olympia London on the 3rd of December, 2026, for a night of raw power and sonic brilliance. Known for their thunderous riffs, primal energy, and a sound that belies their two-piece formation, Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher are bringing their signature blend of hard rock and blues-infused anthems to the capital. This is an unmissable gig for any self-respecting rock fan, promising a spectacle of light, sound, and pure adrenaline.

About the Artist

Royal Blood burst onto the music scene with a bang, quickly establishing themselves as one of the UK's most formidable rock acts. Formed in Brighton in 2011, the duo consists of Mike Kerr, who masterfully handles vocals and bass guitar (often through a complex array of pedals and amps to create a guitar-like sound), and Ben Thatcher, whose explosive drumming provides the perfect rhythmic backbone. Their debut album, the self-titled 'Royal Blood', released in 2014, topped the UK Albums Chart and garnered critical acclaim, featuring hits like 'Out of the Black' and 'Figure It Out'.

Subsequent releases, including 'How Did We Get So Dark?' (2017) and 'Typhoons' (2021), have seen the band evolve their sound, incorporating elements of dance and funk while retaining their signature heavy edge. Their live performances are legendary – a whirlwind of energy that leaves audiences breathless. They've supported some of the biggest names in music, including the Arctic Monkeys, and have headlined major festivals worldwide, cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Their ability to create such a massive sound with just bass, drums, and vocals is a testament to their innovative approach and undeniable talent.
