🤘Tune in, turn it up, and prepare for a heavy dose of nostalgia, butt! 🟢🔥🍻
If you thought Orange Goblin were going to quietly bow out after three decades of riff-worship, pint-raising and sludge-drenched mayhem… c’mon mun, you know these lads better than that. 😅
Tonight at 8pm UK / 9pm CET, all four members of the Goblin will be jumping onto Facebook Live for a huge fan marathon — a final digital gathering before they hit the road one last time on their End of Transmission: 1995–2025 Final Tour.
Grab a beer, grab a mate, grab your nan (if she’s hard enough), and join the chaos.
🎥 WHAT’S OCCURRING TONIGHT?
This isn’t just a Q&A… it’s basically the band opening the vault on 30 YEARS of Orange Goblin madness.
Expect:
🍺 Road stories from festivals, vans, pubs, and probably hospital waiting rooms
🎸 Favourite riffs and how they were born (usually after a few beers)
🤘 A look back at the Goblin’s rise from London’s underbelly
🔥 Behind-the-scenes tales from recording sessions
💀 Emotions about the FINAL tour
🏁 Reflections on what it means to wrap up a 30-year legacy
And of course… probably at least one moment where someone says,
“Remember that time in…?”
and absolute pandemonium breaks loose. Proper job. 😆
💬 GOT A QUESTION? SEND IT, BUTT!
The lads WANT your questions — and they’ve promised to answer as many as they can during the stream.
Great questions include:
⚡ “What’s the wildest gig you ever survived?”
⚡ “Which song still gives you goosebumps live?”
⚡ “Who snores loudest on tour?”
⚡ “What happens to the band after the final show?”
⚡ “Which riff is the ultimate Goblin riff?”
Pop your questions in the Facebook comments right now or during the live chat tonight.
This is your chance to ask the band anything you’ve wanted to know from three decades of thunder.
🎫 THE FINAL UK SHOW – LONDON, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT
The grand finale — the last ever Orange Goblin show — is happening:
📅 WED 17 DECEMBER 2025
📍 O₂ FORUM KENTISH TOWN, LONDON
With Grand Magus and Urne on the bill, it’s shaping up to be a goodbye gig so loud it may register on the Richter scale. 🌋
If you haven’t grabbed tickets yet…
C’mon butt, what are you playing at? This is history.
🤘 TONIGHT: BE THERE OR BE A SOFT LAD
This is your final chance to hang out with the entire band online before they hit the road for their last run.
Expect emotions.
Expect mayhem.
Expect laughs.
Expect proper Goblin energy.
8pm UK / 9pm CET — Facebook Live. Don’t miss it.
Diolch, Orange Goblin. Let’s give this era the send-off it deserves. 🍻🔥🏴
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. 🤘
