Royal Blood at the Olympia Theatre, Monday 9th/Tuesday 10th
One of the hottest bands on earth right now capitalise on their massive popularity by returning to play two dates at the Olympia just a few months after packing out the Academy. Despite just having the one (remarkably short) album, the band have established a reputation as an exceptional live act and recently won a Brit for Best British Band, beating the likes of Coldplay and One Direction. A brilliant band riding on the wave of huge success, and should deliver a cracking show
