Orange Goblin Announce Dec. UK Tour Dates
On the heels of their just-issued Rough & Ready, Live & Loud (discussed here) digital live release, UK doom rock stalwarts and emergent social media masters Orange Goblin have announced their annual run of UK December shows for 2020. And hey, we all know the deal, right? These shows will happen so long as anything is happening. If the lockdown continues that long — and it very well might — then it goes without saying that the shows won’t happen. But hell’s bells, even a theoretical return to some kind of normalcy is welcome, and at this point, I’m just happy to see a list of tour dates, whether they come to fruition or not.
In addition to the live record and the tour, Orange Goblin have been holding Zoom Q&A sessions with the whole band, as well as playthrough videos with guitarist Joe Hoare and other such interactive whatnot. It’s encouraging to know that, though they could’ve in no way imagined this would be how they’d mark 25 years as a band, they’re making the most of the situation.
Here’s their post about the tour:
ORANGE GOBLIN – TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT
We are pleased to announce new headline tour dates for December 2020
As you know we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Orange Goblin, and we’re happy to announce our December headline tour of the UK and Ireland culminating in two very special shows at London’s The Underworld.
Ben explains:
“The world is a very strange place at the moment and we are all affected by the current Covid-19 pandemic. No one knows what the future holds and when we will get back to playing shows but we are very happy to announce that this December, Orange Goblin will (hopefully) be touring the UK to celebrate our 25 Year Anniversary.
Obviously people’s safety is the main concern for us but we wanted to get these dates out there as it’s been eating away at us for a while now and we hope that having something to look forward to will bring a tiny bit of hope and happiness into everyone’s lives right now”
