ROYAL BLOOD
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS RACING AND ELLIOT & VINCENT
Thursday 7 December 2023
UK rock duo Royal Blood will make their way back to New Zealand in December! Joining the British lads will be Racing and Elliot & Vincent in Auckland.
Last in Australia & New Zealand in 2018 playing sold-out crowds across both countries, Royal Blood – Mike Kerr & Ben Thatcher - are returning fresh off the back of an extensive tour run across Europe & the US as well as new music, having just released their latest album 'Back To The Water Below'. Featuring the singles ‘Mountains At Midnight’, ‘Pull Me Through’ and new track, ‘Shiner In The Dark’, Back To The Water Below follow three previous consecutive UK #1 albums from the British Duo.
Touring with the likes of The Killers, Pearl Jam and Queens of the Stone Age, Royal Blood began touring the world in their own right, playing sold out shows and festival sets worldwide. Due to embark on an extensive tour of the UK & US from September-November, the duo will be fired up to perform to their biggest fans in Australia and New Zealand this December.
Auckland-band four-piece, RACING, take rock and roll and inject it with a chemical haze so potent the listener is left both pleased and punished. Once likened to “the thoughts of a crocodile in flood season”, the band crafts a swirling sea of groove and hypnosis into rock anthems drenched in weird tropical dance music.
ELLIOT & VINCENT: Equipped with a Japanese lawsuit guitar and a Tom heavy drum style, Elliot & Vincent are an Auckland based two-piece band featuring drummer and vocalist Elliot Finn and guitarist Vincent Cherry. Together, they fill the space in each others sound to form driving rhythms with distorted strain.
The sound of Royal Blood isn’t defined by genre or the instruments that they play, but by the unique chemistry forged by the two friends. The incredible live spectacle that is Royal Blood will grace our stages once again in a series of unmissable shows.
