Nekrogoblikon’s VIP Upgrades Goblinize Fan Experience

Nekrogoblikon’s Show Me Your Goblin Tour kicked off May 8 at Roseville, California’s Goldfield Trading Post and has since roamed the continent. Formed in Santa Barbara in 2006, the genre-blending collective has tapped Revocation, Ov Sulfur and BRAT as direct support, celebrating packed rooms in Detroit, Columbus, Seattle and Minneapolis along the way.

Vip Perks Highlight

“The VIP Soundchecks and Meet and Greets have been a blast,” the band posted on Instagram, urging fans to visit nekrogoblikontour.com for upgrades. Premium packages often include early entry to a live soundcheck, a group photo with the goblin crew, exclusive tour merchandise and a limited-edition commemorative laminate. At stops like Columbus, VIP slots disappeared within hours, propelling scalpers to list them at double face value on resale sites.

Seattle To Pittsburgh: Ticket Alerts

Just after selling out Seattle’s El Corazon on May 10, Nekrogoblikon warned followers—“Seattle tonight, VERY FEW TICKETS LEFT”—and repeated the callback for Pittsburgh. Tonight’s headline set at Pittsburgh’s Thunderbird Music Hall, where Revocation’s technical death-thrash riffage, Ov Sulfur’s doom-laden textures and BRAT’s grindcore blitz promise a diverse metal showcase.

Onstage Antics And Visual Spectacle

Fans on social feeds have praised the band’s flair for theatrics. Photographer Cameron Gile’s recent snapshots show a stage engulfed in green fog, oversized goblin mannequins and frontman Tim “Piker Man” Maurer donning a horned crown. One attendee noted that the group’s live charisma turns each appearance into part-concert, part-haunted attraction.

Limited Tickets And Scant Seating

Promoters caution that “very few tickets left for tonight’s show in Pittsburgh,” with similar alerts flagged for dates in Orlando, Tampa and Fresno. Each venue on the North American run has reported sell-out or near-sell-out conditions, prompting fans to secure general admission—and consider the pricier VIP enhancements.

Band Background

Nekrogoblikon emerged online with tongue-in-cheek tracks like “No One Survives” and “We Need a Gimmick,” blending power-metal thrash with humorous goblin lore. Led by Maurer and guitarist Brandon “Metalorious” Ellis, the lineup engineers elaborate stage productions—complete with animatronic props, low-rider goblin bikes and synchronized pyrotechnics—that underscore their reputation as an unpredictable live act.

European Expansion

Building on North American success, the group revealed a “UK/Ireland Show Me Your Goblin Tour” for September. Starting September 17 in Milton Keynes, UK, the European leg will span major cities including Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow and Dublin. Special guests Allegaeon, Party Cannon and Grief Ritual will join the festivities; tickets go on sale Friday, April 25.

From VIP soundchecks in small clubs to headlining iconic venues, the Show Me Your Goblin Tour is proving that this goblin gang is as adept at selling laughs as they are at unleashing riffs. With seats dwindling and perks flying off the virtual shelves, this might be the last chance to “show your goblin” before this underground horde vanishes into legend.
