Green Lung Announce UK Headlining Tour
Could this be an album release tour? I mean, it’s possible. London’s Green Lung signed to Nuclear Blast last Fall and hit the road with Clutch thereafter. They’ve been relatively hunkered down in 2023 as regards road work — though they also have some German shows booked for October, and fests this summer; to wit, they were at Sweden Rock this past weekend — and the timing would make sense. If you’ll recall, 2021’s Svart-issued Black Harvest (review here) wanted nothing for autumnal vibe despite being released over the summer, and if they put out their third LP sometime between August and October, that puts them in line for the Fall heavyfest season in Europe, which for a band like Green Lung whose ambitions and potential both point them in a headlining direction, is as grand an entry as one could ask into what’s sure to be a busy album cycle once it starts. We already know they’ll be at Høstsabbat in Oslo later in October.
As ever, I’ll emphasize that I have no inside info or anything like that. I’m just seeing a list of shows and speculating, which is something that I seem to think is great fun because I’m a dork. Whenever the Green Lung LP arrives, it’ll be met with high expectations after Black Harvest, but even as righteous as that record was, I’m confident they can step forward into even bigger and bolder sounds. These guys are on their way to being something really special. I hope they get there.

Green Lung were great when I saw them supporting Clutch in December
When I saw them at Download last weekend they said they had a new record coming out in the Fall.
