Hold onto your crab claws and prepare for robo-shenanigans – Evil Scarecrow are back, and they’re dragging their glorious madness to Cardiff this November! 🔥
The kings of absurd, theatrical metal are bringing their Premature Obsolescence Tour to The Globe, Cardiff on Sunday 2nd November 2025, and if you’ve never witnessed an Evil Scarecrow show… well, strap in. This isn’t your average night of headbanging – it’s more like stepping into a surreal sci-fi metal pantomime powered by riffs, lasers, confetti cannons, and crowd-synchronized crab-walking. 🦀⚡
🤯 What’s an Evil Scarecrow Show Like?
Imagine if Iron Maiden collided with Monty Python in a nuclear reactor made entirely of glowsticks and foam robots – and you’re still only halfway there. With tongue-in-cheek sci-fi themes, hilariously chaotic crowd interactions, and monstrous riffs lurking beneath it all, this is heavy metal like you’ve never seen before. Whether you’re being instructed to flail like a robot, chant the name of a space vixen, or perform synchronised mosh aerobics, you’re in for an utterly unforgettable night.
“Get ready for one of the most absurd, theatrical, and wildly entertaining metal shows you’ll ever experience.” – Divergent Promotions
🤡 Special Guest: Andrew O’Neill
Adding even more chaos to this mind-bending evening is the brilliantly offbeat Andrew O’Neill – a cult comedian, heavy metal devotee, and certified warlock of weirdness. Whether riffing on sub-genres of doom metal or lamenting the woes of steampunk, O’Neill brings surreal humour and a deep love of loud music that fits perfectly with Evil Scarecrow’s mission to turn metal on its head – and set fire to it for good measure.
🔥 The Premature Obsolescence Tour
This tour is more than just a gig – it’s a glitch in the metal matrix. Titled the Premature Obsolescence Tour, Evil Scarecrow are poking fun at our throwaway tech culture, malfunctioning AI overlords, and maybe even their own robot props from 2008 that still won’t die.
Expect new material, old bangers like “Crabulon” and “Robototron,” and possibly some new onstage mechanical monstrosities built from recycled vending machines. It’s metal, it’s mayhem, and it’s oddly moving.

🧠 Final Thoughts from The Riff Report
If you’ve never been in a room full of strangers shouting “SCAR-E-CROW” while pretending to be malfunctioning droids – this is your moment. Evil Scarecrow aren’t just a band; they’re a full-body experience in theatrical metal stupidity, and we absolutely love it. Add in Andrew O’Neill’s sideways humour and The Globe’s sweatbox atmosphere, and you’ve got a gig that’s part metal show, part comedy sketch, part cosmic fever dream.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or a curious chaos gremlin, don’t miss this show. It’s Cardiff’s turn to get weird – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🤘💀🤖

As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world.

He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When he’s not writing or interviewing artists, you’ll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
