Electric Wizard

Electric Wizard hit Albert Hall, Manchester on 17 September 2026. Born in Dorset around guitarist-vocalist Jus Oborn and long-time foil Liz Buckingham, the UK doom outfit sculpts a slow, heavy strain of metal drawn from stoner haze, sludge grit and shadowy psychedelia. Thick, low-tuned guitars, massive riffs and vocals sunk deep in distortion define a sound steeped in occult imagery and late-night horror cinema.

On stage, the band stretches songs into long, hypnotic grooves built on amp saturation and repetition. The set often reaches back to early landmarks like Come My Fanatics… and Dopethrone while folding in later chapters from Witchcult Today, Black Masses, Time to Die and Wizard Bloody Wizard. It’s less about racing through a catalogue and more about letting each riff breathe until the room hums. Manchester gets a concentrated dive into Electric Wizard’s world at Albert Hall, with that unmistakable crawl-and-crush that has kept the group at the core of doom and stoner scenes for decades.
