Unstoppable metal powerhouses TRIVIUM – Matthew K. Heafy (vocals/guitars), Corey Beaulieu (guitars), Paolo Gregoletto (bass), and drummer Alex Bent – are thrilled to announce their return to the UK this summer, for the Goblins and Wizards Tour – a baker’s dozen of intimate shows including venues the band haven’t played in over 15 years! Fresh from their colossal sold out UK run this January, expect these tickets to go like proverbial hot cakes! Special guests will be none other than widely-tipped metal squad BLEED FROM WITHIN, with ORBIT CULTURE firing everyone up first for the summer’s hottest metal extravaganza. Paolo Gregoletto declares, “Since the first UK headline tour in 2005 we’d made it a point to do our best to get out of the big cities and play other ones that might get overlooked or skipped. We looked at old Maiden and Motörhead posters and let that inspire the way we routed this one. Bleed From Within and Orbit Culture are two of our favourite new bands and we are honoured to have them join us. This is going to be the biggest and best metal show to hit your town this summer guaranteed!” Goblins and Wizards dates are as follows: Wed 23rd Aug – CAMBRIDGE Corn Exchange Thu 24th Aug – NORWICH UEA Fri 25th Aug – NOTTINGHAM Rock City Sat 26th Aug – OXFORD O2 Academy Mon 28th Aug – STOKE Victoria Hall Tue 29th Aug – LIVERPOOL O2 Academy Wed 30th Aug – SHEFFIELD O2 Academy Thu 31st Aug – NEWCASTLE NX Sat 2nd Sep – EDINBURGH O2 Academy Sun 3rd Sep – LEEDS Stylus Mon 4th Sep – BRISTOL Academy Wed 6th Sep – FOLKESTONE Leas Cliff Hall Thu 7th Sep – SOUTHAMPTON O2 Guildhall Tickets go on general sale on Wednesday 15th February, at 10am GMT, with limited pre-sales via O2 (on Monday 13th Feb at 10am GMT) and Live Nation (on Tuesday 14th Feb at 10am GMT).
