🔥 Orange Goblin just tore up the main stage at Bloodstock Festival — and we caught up with them right after their blistering set. After 30 years, 10 albums, and countless tours, the UK heavy metal legends are calling time on major festivals… but not without going out on a high.
In this candid chat with The Mike James Rock Show, Joe and Harry (plus some mid-interview cameos!) reflect on three decades of music, from the mid-90s stoner/doom explosion to their latest critically acclaimed album. They share why they’ve chosen to slow things down, the toll constant touring takes, and their future plans in music — from new creative projects to possible reunion shows down the line.
💀 Highlights:
Why now is the right time to step back
The evolution of Orange Goblin across three decades
Memories of the stoner/doom rock rise in the 90s
Future musical plans for each member
Thoughts on mental health in heavy music and life after constant touring
Whether you’ve been a fan since Frequencies from Planet Ten or just discovered them through Science, Not Fiction, this is a heartfelt look at a band bowing out of the festival circuit with integrity and gratitude.
