Orange Goblin are following through with their plans to hang it up this year. This past January the British stoner metal outfit announced the upcoming end of their career, capping off a run that began back in 1995. Today, April 22nd, they revealed that their final dates will take place in the UK and Ireland with Grand Magus and URNE on the bill. They said of that:
“Here it is folks, these will be the LAST EVER shows for Orange Goblin and we will be bringing our good friends Grand Magus and URNE along for one final trip around the country!
‘We are delighted to finally announce that Orange Goblin will do one last tour of the UK and Ireland in December 2025 before we call it a day! It’s going to be bittersweet performing at these last 7 shows, seven of the biggest shows we will have ever played! Although there will be sadness at this being the end, we are very happy to be able to bring along two amazing bands that we took out on their first ever tours, old and new.
From Sweden, we have the almighty power of GRAND MAGUS, a band that we toured Europe with way back in 2002, and then again in 2004. We have always remained friends and know what an amazing live act they are, everytime they take to the stage. Opening up each night will be one of the best UK bands of the past 10 years, URNE, who we took on their first UK tour back in 2021.
We were blown away with their modern take on metal and the soundscapes they create, mixing subtlety and aggression! These promise to be very special shows and will be your very last chance to come and drink, headbang and rasie some hell with Orange ‘Fuckin’ Goblin Baby!’ We will be playing songs from throughout our 30 year career, so whether you’re an old die-hard or a new fan, there should be something for everyone.
We’ve been announcing final shows all over the world this year, and have been reading the fans’ comments about doing one last trek around the UK and Ireland, so we didn’t want to disappoint them and feel that it will be fitting to end our journey in our hometown of London! One last Orange Goblin Christmas knees-up anyone? You know it makes sense! – Ben Ward, Orange Goblin 2025
