Orange Goblin’s ‘Science, Not Fiction’ Tour made a thunderous impact at KK’s Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, drawing in a fervent crowd eager for a night of stoner, doom, and distorted riff worship. The venue buzzed with anticipation as local band “Slump” and Liverpool’s Doomlords “Conan” set the stage for the headliners.

Led by the charismatic Ben Ward, the band delivered a blistering performance, kicking off with hits like “Cemetery Rats” and “Scorpionica.” Despite a minor technical hiccup, the band powered through, treating the crowd to a set filled with classics like “Hot Magic, Red Planet” and “The Devil’s Whip.”
The night culminated in a three-song encore that left fans reeling, with tracks like “Quincy The Pigboy” and “(Not) Rocket Science” igniting the venue in a frenzy of headbanging and fist-pumping. The monstrous riff-fest of “Red Tide Rising” closed the show on a high note, cementing Orange Goblin’s status as true heavy metal legends.
