Have Royal Blood Just Had The Best Weekend Ever?

First they get a second Number 1 album, then they’re hanging out with Brad Pitt!
As brilliant weekends go, Royal Blood have just nailed it.
The duo of Ben Kerr and Mike Thatcher performed a stunning set on the Pyramid Stage on Friday evening, just moments after they learned that their second album. How Did We Get So Dark? hit Number 1 in the UK charts.
This went straight to number one and to our heads. Thank you so much. pic.twitter.com/yW25IyCZyh

The duo stopped their set in mid flow to toast the crowd in champagne before launching into their hit Figure It Out.
The best moment of our lives. pic.twitter.com/ixCnzhwFUH

How Did We Get So Dark? was released a week ago and has followed their self-titled debut to the top spot in the UK. Nice.
Then, on Saturday, the duo posted this photo of a super-fan that was spotted watching the band’s set. It’s only bloody Brad Pitt!

And that’s not all… on Sunday, they posted a photo of themselves hanging out with the super-cool garage legends Kurupt FM (from the TV comedy show People Just Do Nothing).

Once you’ve had a weekend as wild as that, there’s only one way to round it off. Ball pool!
