Machine Head

15th December, 2009

MACHINE HEAD have added 5 more dates to their UK headline run in support of current silver-certified album (60,000 UK units sold), ‘The Blackening'. The tour, dubbed ‘The Black Procession' now includes shows in Newport, Leeds, Newcastle, Dublin and Belfast.

The guys will be supported by labelmates, HATEBREED (whose eponymous new album is out NOW), Bleeding Through, with All Shall Perish opening the evening's proceedings. Tickets for the extra dates go on sale now FRIDAY 27th November from LIVE NATION.

Since the release of 'The Blackening' in March of 2007, Machine Head have toured incessantly, playing more than 300 shows. While this 3 year-long album cycle has seen the band share stages as main support to Metallica, Slipknot, Slayer, Marilyn Manson and Megadeth, headline the Jägermeister stage on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, and headline the legendary Wacken festival to over 85,000 people, it hasn't seen them on a full-fledged headline tour, playing full-length sets. Until now.

Machine Head frontman/guitarist Robb Flynn says, "After 3 years of touring we are beyond stoked to finish this tour cycle on our own terms, with our show, our stage, our production, our control and we're lucky enough to bring three of our favourite bands along with us. It's going to be fucking massive!!!" Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta concurs, stating, "Machine Head and Hatebreed on the same stages across Europe?!?! This will be the heaviest and most pit-inducing tour of 2010. Make no mistake, if you miss this show, I feel sorry for you!"
