RUN THEM JEWELS FAST. FUCK THE SLOW MO!

Pukkelpop screwed up so bad on that one. Glad I could bring the good news after being the bearer of the bad news... I love the "we're [..] not on Pukkelpop this year. Being announced for that was a mistake" wording.

Nah mate, next Royal Blood. Load of shite this lot

[dentalplan]

Yeah don't buy the hype Matt. Just stick some Royal Blood on.

[Matt42]

Okay all of you need to sign a pact that says you won't start disliking them once they've got a shit load of radio one attention

I bet yellow fellow has already started to dislike them...

BLASTING THEM NOW

Why would you do that?

[st dan]

Two great critically acclaimed albums under their belt .. Fair bit of publicity and fame but I just can't see them becoming more than a cult band. Which is exactly how I like it!

aye they're not exactly the type of act that's gonna get a load of Radio One play or cater to that kind of thing. Royal Blood were destined for that from the start

Doubtful. Even death grips are pretty obscenely popular now (given their type of music)

Not saying they'll become R1 type artists, but they're well on the name to becoming a bit of a household name among most hip hop fans.

Which is no bad thing!

What happened to just liking a band or not liking a band, regardless of what radio station it gets played on?

When you said it the other day; it wasn't the suggestion that we'd stop liking them that was ridiculous, it was the comparison in the first place.

But I'm a mod and I only listen to indie music like the stone roses

Fantastic news to read they aren't cancelled, was bricking it.

aye the possible looming announcement of 'we've pulled out of all our european dates' was bringing me down. very happy with this result. they're gonna be fantastic

[bethannny]

Phew. Managed to miss the whole drama and just read it on here, after it's been cleared up. Good timing.

Back to being excited.

Love Again for Christmas number 1

Brilliant news! I need the stage splits so we can get a rough clashfinder going now...

[PabloCoke]

Wooooooo they ain't cancelled, I was gutted then!!! I'm so happy i m gonna get naked and run backwards through a field of dicks! (Suits any occasion)

Yeah they wouldn't get radio attention

But there is quite big gap between run of the mil radio 1 playlist fodder and cult act. I'd say given the high placements on all the main music websites they've got in aoty shit and all their publicity, decent slots at big festivals etc. hardly mean RTJ are some cult underground shit.

When I read it this morning, I was gonna say they were probably never properly booked for Pukkelpop in the first place due to its absence from their tour dates, but didn't know if it was a stupid suggestion.

Very, very unprofessional. And then on top of that announcing a whole tour of an act will be cancelled?! Guess we won't see them for Pukkelpop 2016, despite of the organisation announcing in the edited press release they (RTJ) are looking forward to it...

Classic radio 3 stuff there.
