Machine Head To Bring 'Catharsis' World Tour To UK In May
Wednesday, 27 September 2017
Written by Laura Johnson
Machine Head will bring their Catharsis World Tour to the UK next spring.
The run, which shares its name with their forthcoming new album, will call in Southampton, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester and London, where they'll play two nights at the Roundhouse, during May.
Speaking about the shows, vocalist and guitarist Robb Flynn said:
"It’s been far too long since we’ve demolished venues in 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 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.
We LOVED performing as an 'Evening With' for the 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!!"
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on September 29.
The band also recently confirmed the initial dates for the North American leg of the tour, which will kick off on January 25 in Phoenix, Arizona and conclude on March 7 in Seattle. Tickets for these shows are already on sale.
