Machine Head has announced a massive small-town tour of the U.S. for this November and December. The tour hits smaller venues and features Machine Head playing solo for roughly three hours every night. Just don't expect the band to play any festivals in support of their new album Of Kingdom And Crown, alright?
“We're fucking STOKED to get out and demolish venues in some of our favorite small towns in America," said Machine Head vocalist Robb Flynn. "We have had an awesome and productive pandemic break writing our new album Of Kingdom And Crown, but now it’s time for Machine Head to go melt some faces!! The reaction to our Electric Happy Hour (Live) shows in Scotland so far are nothing short of incredible, so for this first leg of this U.S. run we will continue and will see us performing solo for 2 ½ to 3 hours a night.
"We LOVED performing our online shows which we dubbed Electric Happy Hour for you Head Cases over the pandemic, the loose, beer-drenched and unscripted setlist, the deep-cuts, the random cover songs, it gave us the freedom to do whatever the fuck we wanted for as long as we wanted every night was liberating. It’s 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, so come down and rage!!
“We’re finally bringing Of Kingdom And Crown and more to you, America!" added bassist Jared MacEachern. "We're gonna kick it off in the small towns, a real nooks and crannies kind of run. We’re gonna be raging right in each others faces, so be ready for a sweaty, beer-drenched, throat-ripping good time!"
