Bay Area Heavy Metal icons Machine Head will return to Europe in April and May 2026 for a fresh run of An Evening With headline shows, promising three hours of riffs, pits and mass singalongs as they continue to tour in support of their eleventh studio album, Unatoned’
The Evening With format means no support acts and no breaks, just Machine Head onstage all night digging deep into their catalogue of anthems, deep cuts, ragers and epics.
Fresh from flattening Bloodstock Open Air 2025, the band will bring the same energy indoors as they criss cross the continent.
Band leader Robb Flynn says the idea behind this run is to celebrate the unique connection between Machine Head and their fans, with the focus firmly on those roof raising singalongs. Talking about songs like Halo, Darkness Within and Davidian, he describes those moments when the crowd drowns out the PA and the show turns from performance into conversation and communion.
Before they reach Europe, Machine Head will warm up in Australia with a trio of An Evening With shows and appearances at the Good Things festival. They play Perth, Sunshine Coast and Canberra alongside Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane festival stops in late November and early December 2025.
Unatoned, released through Nuclear Blast Records, finds Machine Head sharpening their sound into one of the most direct and focused records of their career. The album features tracks such as Landscape Of Thorns, Atomic Revelations, Unbound, Outsider and These Scars Won’t Define Us, alongside bruisers like Dustmaker, Bonescraper and Addicted To Pain.
