Royal Blood rock Saturday Night Live UK

Royal Blood rocked the September 19 episode of Saturday Night Live UK, and video of the performance is online.

Bassist/vocalist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher delivered “Ten Over Ten” – the lead single from the band’s forthcoming album, “Dead Company”, before returning late in the show to rock their 2014 track, “Figure It Out.”

Due November 13 via Warner Records and self-produced by the duo, “Dead Company” marks the group’s fifth studio release and follow-up to 2023’s “Back To The Water Below.”

Following a period away from the spotlight, the duo entered the studio in 2025 with no deadline, no distractions and a simple ambition: to see what was possible with two people, 12 notes and infinite outcomes.

"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,” says the band. “Written and recorded with the stage in mind, we cannot wait to play it live for years to come."

The group are scheduled to launch a UK tour in late November, shortly after the release of “Dead Company.”
