MACHINE HEAD announce European headline tour

Full Image
Bay Area Metal Titans MACHINE HEAD will headline an exclusive tour starting this February, billed as “An Evening With MACHINE HEAD” spanning across mainland Europe and the U.K! No support bands, no locals, just 2 hours of bone-crunching metal anthems, deep album cuts, sing-a-longs, haunting atmospheric pieces, and pure fucking MACHINE HEAD!!!

“We’re doing ‘An Evening With’ MACHINE HEAD. Meaning: it’ll just be us, folks,” commented guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn.  “We are really excited about playing longer sets, throwing in some deep cuts, and just having it be our own world. We did this in the U.S. and eastern Europe recently and it’s done amazingly well. Fans seem to really love the “Evening With…” format for a band like us who has a long-standing and diverse catalog.  While the sets vary from night to night, there were a couple nights on the last run where we reached the 2 hour and 40 minute mark. It was crazy! We could have played all night, the crowd was so insane!!”

In regards to the band’s decision to only headline their own shows throughout the »Bloodstone & Diamonds« touring cycle, as well as no longer play festival slots, Flynn elaborates: “We’re not trying to have a good time with a bunch of people who don’t know who we are. If MACHINE HEAD throws a party, big or small, we don’t want a bunch of ‘strangers’ there. This is about us and you guys, the die-hards, the Head Cases, The Fucking Undesirables! We don’t care about the others out there. We’re here and we’re not going anywhere. If those people want to be a part of this, they know where to find us. So for the time being, and maybe ‘forever’, we’re done reaching out for them.”

Tickets and VIP packages go on sale at 11am CEST this Friday October 16th.

Pick up standard tickets, VIP Meet & Greet ‘upgrades’ (for folks who already bought tickets or want to add on later), and the ‘Ultimate VIP Package’ (where 1 person-per-show can own a ‘stage played’ Bloodstone & Diamonds guitar played by either Phil or Robb), all at the link below.

kündigen Europa-Tournee an!

Die Bay-Area-Metal-Titanen MACHINE HEAD werden im kommenden Februar ihre exklusive Headliner-Tour “An Evening With MACHINE HEAD” starten! Keine Support-Bands, keine lokalen Anheizer, lediglich 2 Stunden Schädelspaltender Metal-Hymnen, Singalongs, atmosphärischen Stücken – einfach nur MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!!

“We’re doing ‘An Evening With’ MACHINE HEAD. Meaning: it’ll just be us, folks,” so Gitarrist/Sänger Robb Flynn.  “We are really excited about playing longer sets, throwing in some deep cuts, and just having it be our own world. We did this in the U.S. and eastern Europe recently and it’s done amazingly well. Fans seem to really love the “Evening With…” format for a band like us who has a long-standing and diverse catalog.  While the sets vary from night to night, there were a couple nights on the last run where we reached the 2 hour and 40 minute mark. It was crazy! We could have played all night, the crowd was so insane!!”

Zu der Entscheidung, während des »Bloodstone & Diamonds«-Tour-Zyklusses ausschließlich eigene Shows zu spielen, sowie nicht länger auf Festivals aufzutreten, erklärt Flynn: “We’re not trying to have a good time with a bunch of people who don’t know who we are. If MACHINE HEAD throws a party, big or small, we don’t want a bunch of ‘strangers’ there. This is about us and you guys, the die-hards, the Head Cases, The Fucking Undesirables! We don’t care about the others out there. We’re here and we’re not going anywhere. If those people want to be a part of this, they know where to find us. So for the time being, and maybe ‘forever’, we’re done reaching out for them.”

Tickets und VIP Packages gehen diesen Freitag, den 16. Oktober ab 11 Uhr CEST in den Vorverkauf.

Holt Euch reguläre Tickets, VIP Meet & Greet ‘Upgrades’ (für alle, die bereits Tickets gekauft haben oder später hinzufügen wollen) oder das ‘Ultimate VIP Package’ (hier kann eine Person pro Show eine von Phil oder Robb auf der Bühne gespielte »Bloodstone & Diamonds«-Gitarre erhält.

About Thomas Nielsen 1051 Articles
When my old buddy Kenn Jensen asked me if I wanted to contribute to the new site he had created, then called powermetal.dk, I didn't hesitate. My love for metal music was and is great. I wrote my first review during the summer of 2004 (Moonspell's 'Antidote' album). In 2015, I took over the editor-in-chief role.
