ROCK band Royal Blood have announced a homecoming show in Brighton.
The Brighton-formed duo have announced they are due to take to the stage at the Brighton Centre on September 15.
The concert will be their first in their hometown since 2017.
After headlining Victorious Festival in Portsmouth last weekend, Royal Blood announced their homecoming gig, which will feature support from alt-rock quartet The Mysterines.
The band, made up of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher, shared their excitement ahead of the gig.
“Almost four years later and for our last show of the year, playing our shared hometown, Brighton is going to be pure glory. See you there,” they said.
Tickets for the show go sale at 9am on Friday, September 3.
The upcoming shows will be in support of the band’s latest album Typhoons, which was released in April.
The newly announce Brighton date was added to Royal Blood’s upcoming tour schedule, which features shows at Cornwall’s Eden Project and The O2 in London.
While The Mysterines will be on the bill at the Eden Project show, fellow Brighton band Tigercub will support Royal Blood at their show at the Engine Shed in Lincoln on September 13.
This show has sold out.
Royal are set to embark on their biggest ever European tour in March next year, before returning to the UK for a run of arena date.
Their 2022 tour includes destinations including Bournemouth, Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff and more.
The Amazons will support at all UK arena shows.
The duo’s self-titled debut album was released in August 2014, with their second album How Did We Get So Dark? following in June 2017.
While the band was formed in Brighton, Mike grew up in Worthing and Ben in Rustington.
The pair first met in 2005, briefly performing together in the same four-piece band, Flavour Country.
Royal Blood formed in 2011 after Kerr met original drummer Matt Swan in Brighton.
They relocated to Australia and recorded an EP in Brisbane before Mike returned to the UK.
The band developed their sound in the studios of Brighton Electric, and it was during this time that they were signed by Warner/Chappell Music.
