I Machine Head hanno annunciato un tour mondiale nel 2018 a supporto di “Catharsis”, nuovo album in uscita per Nuclear Blast nel 2018. Europa e Regno Unito sono tra le tappe di Robb Flynn e soci, con tre date in Italia: 11 aprile a Bologna, Zona Roveri, 12 a Roma, Orion e 13 a Milano, Live Club.
Dopo il successo ottenuto dalla formula “Evening With”, la band ha deciso di replicare e per questo motivo lo spettacolo potrà durare fino a tre ore. Non ci saranno band d’apertura, DJ o Festival, soltanto Machine Head!
Queste le parole di Robb Flynn in merito:
“Ci è piaciuto tantissimo suonare “Evening With” e voi fan lo avete apprezzato allo stesso modo. La libertà di fare ciò che ci pare, per quanto tempo vogliamo ogni sera è stato liberatorio. Jammare “Desire To Fire” live per la prima volta dopo tanto tempo ed lo spettacolo “Ten Ton Hammersmith” a Londra è stato fottutamente epico! Questo non è ciò che fanno gli altri, francamente non ci sono molte band in grado di portarlo a termine, ma i Machine Head possono e siamo dannatamente eccitati di poterlo fare nuovamente. Stiamo tracciando il nostro percorso, suonando secondo le nostre regole e, da artisti, è la migliore sensazione al mondo! Nessun festival! Nessun stupido DJ a supporto! I Machine Head saranno headliner, quindi venite incazzati!”.
MACHINE HEAD – Europe / UK: CATHARSIS World Tour (OFFICIAL TRA…
MACHINE HEAD ANNOUNCE WORLD TOUR FOR UPCOMING ALBUM, CATHARSISMachine Head have announced a raft of EU and UK tour dates in support of their forthcoming ninth studio album, 'Catharsis', which is set for release via Nuclear Blast in early 2018.Vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn tells us, "It’s been far too long since we’ve demolished venues in Europe and the UK! We have had an awesome and productive break writing our new album 'Catharsis', but now it’s time for MACHINE HEAD to go melt some faces!! The reaction to our last 'Evening With' tours in the EU & UK was nothing short of incredible, so once again these dates will be 'Evening With' shows and will see us performing 2 ½ to 3 hours every night, with no opening bands."He continues; "We LOVED performing as an 'Evening With' for the EU and UK Head Cases and you guys loved it as well. The freedom to do whatever the fuck we want, for as long as we want every night was liberating. Jamming 'Desire To Fire' live for the first time in aeons at the Ten Ton Hammersmith show in London was epic as fuck! This is not what everyone else is doing, and frankly, there are not a lot of bands who could even pull it off, but Machine Head CAN pull it off, and we are excited as fuck to do it again. We are carving our own path here, playing by our own rules, and as an artist, it’s the best feeling in the world! No festivals, period! No supporting some stupid DJ! The Head will only be 'Headlining', so come on down and rage!!"Full EU and UK dates rack up as follows:Thu 22-Mar France, Rouen, Le 106Sat 24-Mar France, Paris, BataclanMon 26-Mar France, La Rochelle, La SireneTue 27-Mar France, Bordeaux, Rocher de PalmerThu 29-Mar Spain, Santiago de Compestalla, Sala CapitalFri 30-Mar Portugal, Lisbon, Coliseum Sat 31-Mar Portugal, Oporto, Colisum Mon 02-Apr Spain, Madrid, RivieraTue 03-Apr Spain, Seville, Sala CustomWed 04-Apr Spain, Malaga, Sala Paris 15Fri 06-Apr Spain, Valencia, Sala RepublicaSat 07-Apr Spain, Barcelona, RazzmatazzSun 08-Apr France, Toulouse, BikiniMon 09-Apr France, Marseille, Caberet AuletoireWed 11-Apr Italy, Bologna, Zona Roveri Thu 12-Apr Italy, Rome, Orion Fri 13-Apr Italy, Milan, Live ClubSun 15-Apr France, Lyon, Tansbordeur Mon 16-Apr Switzerland, Lausanne, Les Docks Tue 17-Apr Switzerland, Pratteln, Konzertfabrik Z7Thu 19-Apr Austria, Vienna, GasometerFri 20-Apr Hungary, Budapest, BNMCSat 21-Apr Germany, Munich, TonhalleSun 22-Apr Germany, Stuttgart, Longhorn Tue 24-Apr France, Strasbourg, LaiterieWed 25-Apr Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Den AtelierFri 27-Apr Germany, Munster, Skaters PalaceSat 28-Apr Germany, Cologne, Ewerk Sun 29-Apr Germany, Berlin, Columbiahalle Tue 01-May Denmark, Copenhagen, VegaWed 02-May Sweden, Gothenburg, Pustervik Thu 03-May Norway, Oslo Rockefeller Sat 05-May Germany, Hamburg, Grosse FreiheitSun 06-May Holland, Gronigen, Oosterpoort Mon 07-May Holland, Tilburg, 013 Wed 09-May Germany, Hannover, CapitolThu 10-May Germany, Wiesbaden, SchlacthofFri 11-May Belgium, Brussels, ABSun 13-May UK, Southampton GuildhallMon 14-May UK, Cardiff, UniversityTue 15-May UK, Bristol AcademyThu 17-May UK, Birmingham AcademyFri 18-May UK, London, RoundhouseSat 19-May UK, London, RoundhouseMon 21-May UK, Nottingham Rock CityTue 22-May UK, Newcastle, AcademyWed 23-May Scotland, Glasgow AcademyFri 25-May UK, Manchester AcademyMACHINE HEAD will also be offering an extremely limited number of VIP Packages in 2 tiers at www.machinehead.vip.North American "Catharsis” World Tour 2018Gold VIP Tour Package:One (1) General Admission TicketMeet and Greet w/ Machine HeadGroup Photo w/ Machine HeadExclusive Meet and Greet ShirtMachine Head FlagSouvenir Laminate w/ LanyardEarly EntryandPlatinum "Soundcheck" PackageOne (1) General Admission TicketSoundcheck ViewingMeet and Greet w/ Machine HeadGroup Photo w/ Machine HeadExclusive Meet and Greet ShirtMachine Head FlagSouvenir Laminate w/ LanyardEarly EntryConfirmed tour dates are as follows:Thu 25-Jan Phoenix, AZ – Nile TheaterSat 27-Jan Albuquerque, NM – Sunshine TheaterMon 29-Jan San Antonio, TX – Aztec TheaterTue 30-Jan Dallas, TX – Gas Moneky Live!Wed 31-Jan Houston,TX – HOBFri 02-Feb Birmingham, AL – SaturnSat 03-Feb Pensacola, FL – Vinyl MHMon 05-Feb Orlando, FL – Plaza LiveTue 06-Feb Atlanta, GA – CenterstageThu 08-Feb Philadelphia, PA – Theatre of Living ArtsFri 09-Feb New York, NY – PlaystationSat 10-Feb Boston, MA – Paradise Rock ClubSun 11-Feb Montreal, QC – Club SodaTue 13-Feb Toronto, ON – Danforth MHWed 14-Feb Buffalo, NY – Town BallroomThu 15-Feb Pittsburgh, PA – Stage AEFri 16-Feb Cleveland, OH – AgoraSat 17-Feb Detroit, MI – MajesticTue 20-Feb Des Moines, IA – WoolysWed 21-Feb Madison, WI – MajesticThu 22-Feb Minneapolis, MN – First AvenueFri 23-Feb Chicago, IL – Concord MHSat 24-Feb Saint Louis, MO – PopsTue 27-Feb Denver, CO – Summit MHThu 01-Mar Las Vegas, NV – HOBFri 02-Mar Los Angeles, CA – FondaSat 03-Mar Oakland, CA – The Fox TheaterMon 05-Mar Portland, OR – RoselandTue 06-Mar Vancouver, BC – CommodoreWed 07-Mar Seattle, WA – Showbox Market
