HOT UNDER THE COLLAR TOUR 2025
With special guests Junkyard Drive
🎸🔥🦘
Oi oi, Cardiff! Ready for a night of sweat, riffs, and Aussie chaos? Because The Lazys are storming into The Globe on 5th September, and they’re not coming quietly. These Aussie hard rock hellraisers are bringing their “Hot Under The Collar” European tour straight to our doorstep, and we can already hear the pint glasses rattling in anticipation. 🍺🎤
Who the hell are The Lazys?
If you don’t know The Lazys, c’mon now – where’ve you been hiding? These Aussie road warriors have built a rep for one thing: going FULL TILT every time they hit a stage.
We’re talking:
- Explosive, sweat-drenched performances 💥
- Riffs sharper than a dingo’s bite 🐶
- Singalong bangers that’ll have your nan headbanging 💃
- Banter so good it belongs on its own comedy tour 🎭
And let’s be honest – any band that treats a mid-set merch table hang like a religious rite of passage has earned their stripes in the rock ‘n’ roll trenches.
Whether you’re in the front row getting your eyebrows singed or back near the bar shouting “TIDY!” over the noise, The Lazys don’t just play gigs. They burn them into memory.
Junkyard Drive: Denmark’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Renegades 🇩🇰
Hold onto your leather jackets, ‘cause joining the chaos are Denmark’s very own Junkyard Drive. These lads bring serious heat with their sleazy riffs and thunderous hooks, making this a double bill that’ll take the roof clean off The Globe.
Imagine Skid Row had a lovechild with Airbourne while drinking Carlsberg – that’s the energy we’re talking about.

It’s not just a gig, it’s a mission statement for rock ‘n’ roll survival. If The Lazys don’t melt your face, you probably didn’t have one to begin with. And with Junkyard Drive on board? Carnage is guaranteed.

Michael is the founder, editor, and chief riff wrangler behind The Riff Report, an independent Welsh rock and metal publication built by fans, for fans. With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene special—from legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether he’s battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, he’s always searching for the next great story to share.
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. His writing combines honest opinions, humour, and a genuine love for live music, bringing readers closer to the bands, festivals, venues, and people that keep the scene alive.
Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. 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.
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Always chasing the next great riff. 🤘
