Right then… someone crack open a cold one and text the group chat immediately — because this is the kind of news that makes the hairs on your neck stand up like you’ve just heard your favourite riff live for the first time 😤🍻
British hard rock heavyweights Inglorious are officially reuniting their ORIGINAL line-up for a one-off UK show — and it’s all going down to celebrate 10 years of their debut album.
TEN. YEARS. MUN.
Where’s that gone then?! 😭🔥
🔥 THE BIG NIGHT – LOCK IT IN
This ain’t a tour.
This ain’t a maybe.
This is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it, one-night-only rock revival.
📍 Venue: KK’s Steel Mill
📅 Date: Saturday 17 October 2026
🎟 Tickets: Around £25 (which is an absolute steal, let’s be honest)
⏰ Doors: 7pm
👉 Expect the debut album played IN FULL — plus a few extra bangers thrown in for good measure. Proper job.
🤘 THE ORIGINAL GANG IS BACK
And when we say original… we mean THE crew that kicked the doors in back in 2016:
- 🎤 Nathan James – vocals that could peel paint off the walls
- 🎸 Wil Taylor – riff machine
- 🎸 Andreas Eriksson – shredding wizardry
- 🎸 Colin Parkinson – bass grooves for days
- 🥁 Phil Beaver – thunder behind the kit
This is the line-up that made people go:
“Oi… who the hell are THESE lot then?!” 😳🔥
💿 WHY THIS HITS HARD
That self-titled debut wasn’t just “another rock album”…
It was:
- Big riffs ✅
- Bigger choruses ✅
- Bluesy swagger for days ✅
- Enough attitude to power a small Welsh town ✅
Back when rock needed a kick up the backside, Inglorious walked in like
“alright then, move over lads, we’ve got this.”
And now?
They’re taking us right back to where it all started.
🍻 EXPECT SCENES, MIND
Let’s not sugar-coat it — this is gonna be:
- Sweaty pit energy 😤
- Arms-in-the-air singalongs 🎤
- Blokes losing their voices by song three 🍺
- Someone shouting “PLAY IT AGAIN!” after every track 😂
KK’s Steel Mill is gonna be rammed tighter than a festival queue for the bar, and you just know the atmosphere will be absolutely bouncing.
⚠️ RIFF REPORT WARNING
This is NOT the gig you “think about later.”
This is the gig you:
👉 Buy tickets for immediately
👉 Tell your mates about
👉 Start planning your outfit for (denim mandatory, obviously)
Because once it’s gone… it’s gone.
🎤 FINAL WORD FROM THE RIFF REPORT CREW
Original line-up reunions are rare.
Proper hard rock nights like this? Even rarer.
So if you’ve ever:
- Blasted Inglorious in the car 🚗
- Air-guitared like a man possessed 🎸
- Or just love your rock loud, proud, and a bit sweaty…
This one’s got your name written all over it, butt.
See you down the front 🤘🔥
