Royal Blood set seven-date UK headline tour around Dead Company release
Royal Blood will take Dead Company on the road this winter with a seven-date UK headline tour spanning November and December 2026.
The Brighton duo will begin the run at Bristol’s Prospect Building on 24 November before heading to Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow, Wolverhampton, London and Brighton. The dates land around the release of their fifth studio album, Dead Company, which arrives on 13 November.
Fans who pre-order the album through the band’s UK official store before 15:00 on Tuesday 18 August will receive access to the ticket pre-sale. Pre-sale tickets go live at 09:30 on Wednesday 19 August, followed by general sale at 09:30 on Friday 21 August.
A record made with the stage in mind
Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher recorded the self-produced Dead Company after entering the studio in 2025 without a fixed deadline. The 10-track record follows their 2023 album and is said to strip their sound back to a more direct, physical approach.
The band said: “After putting the Royal Blood engine in neutral for a couple of years, we’ve been building up the revs and are playing faster and harder than ever with this album. Written and recorded with the stage in mind, we cannot wait to play it live for years to come.”
Its first preview, Ten Over Ten, is out now. The track was inspired by Kerr’s marathon training, with its lyrics centred on endurance and testing personal limits. Listen to and watch Ten Over Ten here.
