Royal Republic: From small town Sweden to taking the world.

How Emergenza festival's kick starters got their name on major bills all over the world after endless touring and hard work.



Fact 1:Royal Republic come from a very small southern Swedish town. 

Fact 2:Royal Republic are on the way to becoming one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

Fact 3: Royal Republic's first ever gig was with Emergenza Festival.

For the ones in the know, there is no point in telling that following their Download Festival performance in the UK and following the many international festivals from Germany to Australia, Royal Republic is the name on everybody's lips. Everybody is talking about this band. Citing them as the next best thing. Warner Brothers have put so much faith into their second album that they have plastered their faces on every single rock magazine for the past few weeks. There are literally dozens of pictures of the awsome foursome all over the world right at this moment that we know thay are about to explode.

But don't let this fool you. It is not the work of good management or their major Label. These lads are part of one of the hardest working rock bands on the planet. Since their very beginning in Malmoe with their Émergenza competition gig being the first ever concert, they understood the importance of self promotion and constant gigging. By the time they reached the scandinavian finals after a series of gigs through us, they had every single label checking them out.

They are a super, super live band. Lots of energy, great sing-along rock songs and the look that every single rocker wants. We witnessed the birth of a monster and we helped shape and create a band that learned that hard work and fan-base building was what they needed to break through. After releasing the first Album and getting millions of youtube hits, they won national radio awards and MTV awards in their native Sweden. It is now time to take over the world with a series of concerts that will see the boys play every single continent. Their second Album has just being released with a cracking showcase at the Reeperbahn festival in Hamburg where we saw the boys rock 2000 crazy fans and a hundred Warner Brother officials (as well as dwarfing FUN, the American band). In the UK, they have ten straight gigs in some of the best rock venues.

Go check them out because If you miss them this time, next time they will be too big for you to say «I saw them in a thousand capacity venue. I was there close to the stage in the club».

Here's their tour dates!
We are superproud of you boys. Rock on!!
