Royal Blood are performing a virtual three-song concert as avatars

Ahead of the release of upcoming album Typhoons on April 30, Royal Blood will be sharing new single Limbo later this month during Roblox's Bloxy Awards ceremony on March 27.

The Brighton duo – Mike Kerr (vocals, bass, keys, piano) and Ben Thatcher (drums) – will be performing as avatars during the three-song virtual concert, which kicks off at 7pm GMT / noon PDT on the Roblox platform.

"We are thrilled to perform virtually in front of the Roblox community," say Royal Blood. "This promises to be a real cosmic experience. Strap yourselves in – we look forward to seeing you there."

"The creativity of the Roblox community powers the experiences on our platform, and the social connections players make while sharing these experiences are deeply enriched by music," explains Jon Vlassopulos, Vice President and Global Head of Music for Roblox. "We're thrilled to host Royal Blood as we celebrate the talent of our creators with the greater Roblox community in this immersive, out-of-this-world Metaverse experience."

"Royal Blood have always been a forward-thinking band and so it is fitting that they play inside Roblox this year and introduce a whole new audience to their incredible sound," adds Phil Christie, President, Warner Records UK.
