Royal Blood have today (28 June 2014) performed to a capacity crowd on the second day of Glastonbury Festival, filling The John Peel Tent so much that many were forced to watch from outside.
Taking to the stage at 2pm, sandwiched between Fat White Family and Hozier, the hotly-tipped south coast two piece brought an effortless sense of intensity to their early afternoon slot, roaring through recent single ‘Come On Over’ and free download ‘Hole’ with vigour.
“This is fucking mad, where did you all come from?” laughed frontman Mike Kerr before rattling off more tracks from their long awaited forthcoming debut album, due out in August on Black Mammoth Records.
As expected, ‘Little Monster’, the pair’s most successful single to date packed the biggest punch of the set and saw a rapturous reception, along with breakthrough track ‘Out of the Black’ which was given an even more visceral sense of urgency in the tightly crafted, no frills performance from the duo.
With a bigger slot no doubt on the horizon for these two next year, we have a feeling this album will be nothing short of incredible, much like the summer ahead of them.
Stay tuned to Gigwise for all the news from Glastonbury over this weekend.
