Honeyblood have revealed that they'll be joining their almost namesake Royal Blood as support acts for Foo Fighters' Edinburgh show next month.

Foo Fighters kick off their huge stadium tour on 25 May in Sunderland, with support from Kaiser Chiefs. Elsewhere on the tour their opening acts include Hozier, Iggy Pop, Teenage Fanclub and Royal Blood.

There's one new addition though - this morning, Scottish indie-rock duo Honeyblood wrote on their Facebook page, "Congrats to everyone who guessed right! We will be joining Foo Fighters with Royal Blood at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh."

The band, whose name comes from a Halloween gig that Stina Tweeddale once played where she mixed water, honey, cornflour and red food dye and spat it over the audience, released their self-titled debut album last year.
