Aussie guitar duo Royel Otis, consisting of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, recently completed a series of sold-out concerts at London’s Brixton Academy, marking their 81st gig of the year. They are adapting to touring life with a focus on health, opting for alcohol-free Guinness. Their cosmic indie anthems and a viral cover have earned them fifth place on BBC Radio 1’s Sound of 2026, recognized by an international panel including Sir Elton John. The duo expresses gratitude for the acknowledgment, though they admit it’s a new experience for them.
