Interesting - do you know where one can find more details about this? Hopefully a south coast date?

I got an email about it this morning, not sure if this link will work but I'll try

Didn't Drenge have some major label issues which meant they didn't get the PR push that RB got?

I never really rated Drenge.. don't have the same power that Royal Blood do

Have announced a European arena tour. I really liked their first album and saw them in a small venue but I am a little worried they will be swallowed up in an arena. Not sure whether to go for Manchester tickets. Have the same worry if the play the pyramid.

Saw them in 2014 in the JP ....massive sound for a 2 piece. Hope they get a Pyramid spot. 

Me too. Fantastic set

They've been doing the big shows for the longest. IIRC they supported Arctic Monkeys at Finsbury, Foo Fighters at stadia around the world and at MK Bowl, Reading and Leeds main stages to whopping crowds and they're supporting Guns N' Roses somewhere this summer too. They'll have had plenty of huge gig experience by then.

Fair point, I just thought their sound is better suited to smaller venues. After touring academy venues last time out I thought they might step up to slightly bigger venues, but not areans

I'm not sure Drenge would agree but I definitely prefer their trajectory than Royal Blood's. The last 2 Drenge gigs I've been to were at Liverpool Magnet and Manchester Night and Day, 2 of my favorite gigs. Enjoyed Royal Blood at the Ritz but the Arena for the 2 of them 2 albums in? ... Nah. Drenge are a bit more up my alley anyway, rougher round the edges, pretty clear why Royal Blood have a bigger appeal though.

Seen them supporting foo fighters in murrayfield and hey didn't look or if place in a stadium. Will definitely be buying a ticket, got faith.

What d'we reckon?

I agree. I feel this trajectory is a little too Arctic Monkeys for me. There's something to be said building up through the stages and gaining experience rather than shooting straight for the radio friendly unit shifters with arena tour. 

 

But hey, call me a hipster snob. I would've jumped at a large theatre tour, but an arena so soon is a bit much for me.

They been playing this live for a year or two haven't they??? As see it last time I saw them at Leeds festival 

[shoptildrop]

Glad to see they have stepped up venue wise, but jumping up to MEN in Manchester seems too soon IMO and I really like them..... not sure what to make of it tbh

[Wilfko]

The verses are naff, that riff grates on me, but everything else is superb.

[R95wilson]

I'm really enjoying new songs so far, going to be looking forward to seeing them at the festival

[Diamond24]

I'm seeing them at the Cambridge Corn Exchange tonight! Really excited. Glad I got tickets for this before the arena tour. 3rd time seeing them

Roy and the lads have At the Drive-In and Black Honey supporting on this upcoming tour. ATDI will go down like a cup of hot sick but that's tantalising.

[the wonderwhy]

Supports have won me over a bit. Looking at Glasgow, do we reckon it'll sell out quick?

Entirely off-topic mate but everyone you post I get this stuck in my head.

I don't get it.

[Metal Monkey]

Definitely going to this now ATDI are supporting, it will probably be a right racket but I've never had chance to see them before. 

Looks like tickets are £30 which seems pretty reasonable.
