Dog Tired are an Edinburgh based metal band, born in late 2004 from an unhealthy obsession with riffs.

Merging the relentless brutality of early Gojira and Entombed with the riff orientated assault of High on Fire and The Haunted, Dog Tired have created a sound that is heavy, memorable, and their own.

With five well received albums under their belt, their latest album being their magnum opus to date titled ‘The Red Verse’, Dog Tired have earned themselves an ever-growing fanbase and have relentlessly toured the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe. Their aptly named 2023 tour ‘THE RED TOUR’ took them all over comprising of 23 dates showcasing their new album. Their commitment to providing an intense and heavy live show has earned them recurring slots at festivals such as Bloodstock, Red Crust Festival, Core Festival, Lords of the Land, Siege of Limerick, Rabid Fest, Uprising Festival, Death Awaits Festival (France) and Hordes X Festival.
