Heavy metal heroes, DIY daredevils, masters of the riff and the UK’s greatest rock’n’roll party band, Orange Goblin have reached their 25th anniversary with reputation intact and more wind than ever billowing in their denim ‘n’ leather sails. Fresh from their appearance at this years Bloodstock Festival in August, we are stoked to announce that Orange Goblin will be headlining this year’s Uprising on the Saturday at the Leicester O2 Academy!

The band have just announced a tour of Scandinavia with Swedish rockers Bürner, and they’ve told the masses about re-issuing their ‘Healing Through Fire’ album as a deluxe 2CD set featuring 27 tracks and a wealth of bonus material via Dissonance Productions and Cherry Red Records.

The band have recently welcomed new bass player Harry Armstrong to the fold, (formerly of Decomposed, Hangnail, Earls of Mars, End of Level Boss and current frontman of Blind River) he will be joining their live shows from the end of July – welcome to the family Harry!
