Orange Goblin and Saint Vitus join forces for UK/Europe tour

London's own boozy doom-metallers Orange Goblin are heading out on a co-headline tour of the UK with Saint Vitus. If you're a fan of anything doomy or stoner-rock then these shows are for you.

Somehow these two titans of drink and doom have never toured together, but with Saint Vitus celebrating their 35th anniversary and Orange Goblin gearing up to release a new record later this year, it’s perfect timing we reckon.

Orange Goblin vocalist Ben Ward said “We are extremely excited to be going on tour with our good friends and long-time heroes Saint Vitus. Vitus are one of the bands that inspired us to form Orange Goblin all those years ago and to be able to promote our new album and celebrate their 35th anniversary at the same time just blows my mind. This tour is going to be awesome. DOOM!”
