Godsticks Scottish Dates 2026

Godsticks Scottish Dates 2026

Welsh melodic prog metallers, Godsticks are coming to Dundee and Edinburgh!

Crafted around chugging guitar riffs, intricate solos and driving rhythm section, this unique outfit are coming to Scotland for two shows under the Slow Dragon Music banner. The dates form the Northern part of their upcoming UK wide tour. Having been holed-up in the studio for the last 18 months, Godsticks are finally being released into the wild once more. They’re not alone this time though. No, they’re bringing new music with them from a soon-to-be-announced seventh studio album, which they claim is “the toughest and most demanding record we’ve ever made; music that has pushed us to the very extremes of what we can do as musicians.”

This is a darker Godsticks. Maybe even an angrier Godsticks. But these new shows will see a monumental release of tension and energy from the emotional and physical turmoil invested in the new album, and a glorious experience for everyone concerned. Be prepared to be greeted with a ferocious sonic punch-in-the-face as this is the heaviest incarnation of Godsticks to date, and one that you won’t want to miss. Find more information below.

GODSTICKS

It’s been a long and eventful road for Godsticks since emerging onto the progressive rock scene in 2009. Metal Hammer Magazine called them “the U.K’s most idiosyncratic rock band” and over the years and several albums later, their music became progressively heavier. When the “genre redefining” prog metal masterpiece that was Emergence was released in 2015, it garnered them new fans from all over the world and ultimately led to them being signed to Kscope.

Soon followed Faced With Rage in 2017, Inescapable in 2020 and This Is What A Winner Looks Like in 2023; three more critically acclaimed albums, each with an astounding collection of songs highlighting how the band channels their technical ability to create dynamic riffs and emotional depth in a melting pot of heavy rock, progressive and alternative metal. Among others, Total Guitar Magazine lauded the band’s “technically astounding prog-metal replete with hooks and melodies.“

Also in their last few years of touring the band have now finally gained recognition as the explosive, high energy live act they’d always threatened to become, showcasing their chugging guitar riffs, intricate solos and driving rhythm section. After their biggest ever run of live headline gigs and festival appearances, as well as a European Tour supporting Lizzard across the Netherlands, Germany and Italy, the release of the seventh Godsticks studio album looms large on the horizon in April 2026.
