Machine Head are bringing the riffs back to Europe and the UK next spring! The Bay Area titans have announced “An Evening With Machine Head,” a 26-date tour spanning April and May 2026 that promises three full hours of unadulterated heaviness each night.
The UK gets four dates in May: Glasgow on the 14th, Manchester the 15th, Wolverhampton on the 16th, and London wrapping things up on the 17th. Tickets go on sale Thursday 27th November at 9am through Live Nation and the band’s official website.
This tour follows their triumphant return to Bloodstock Open Air in August 2025 and continues the campaign for their album Unatoned.
Frontman Robb Flynn shared his thoughts on what makes these extended shows special, and it all comes down to one thing: connection. “I’ve stood on stages all over the world,” he wrote, “and then I hear it. You. All of you. Singing louder than the PA.”
He recalled a show where the crowd came in so strong on ‘Darkness Within’ that he stepped back from the mic and just let it happen. “These are the nights where the band and the fans become the same damn thing,” he said.
With no openers eating into the evening, expect deep cuts alongside the anthems, improvisation, and the kind of communal experience that only happens when a band this tight gets three hours to explore their catalogue.
If you’ve ever screamed along to ‘Davidian’ or felt the weight of ‘Halo’ hit you in the chest, you already know what’s coming.
