The emerging stars will hit Melbourne and Sydney over the coming months

More Royal Blood Royal Blood

British rock newcomers Royal Blood will play two headline shows in Australia this May and June.

The duo of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher have made quite the impression on the music industry since they first emerged in 2013, dropping the singles Out Of The Black and Little Monster and playing a host of live shows alongside the likes of Foals and Arctic Monkeys.

The pair look destined for big things, withy their garage and bluesy rock sound drawing comparisons to The Black Keys and The White Stripes.

You can catch Royal Blood in Melbourne on Saturday 31 May at the Corner Hotel and at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory on Tuesday 3 June. More info can be found below.
