MACHINE HEAD, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Announce Summer Tour

By: Philip Sayblack

Machine Head and Killswitch Engage will join forces this summer for a 16-date tour.
The announcement was made Tuesday through a news release. According to the document, the tour is scheduled to kick off June 3 in Detroit, MI and to run through June 7 in San Francisco, CA. It includes scheduled concerts in cities, such as Raleigh, NC; Dallas, TX and Tempe, AZ.
Machine Head front man/founder Robb Flynn said in a statement, he is looking forward to the tour.
“I’m genuinely fired up to finally be hitting the road with Killswitch Engage — we’ve shared history and respect for a long time, but this will be the first time we’ve actually toured together, and that makes it feel special,” said Flynn. “Getting back into major cities like New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Albuquerque, Orlando and more with this kind of energy behind it is exactly where Machine Head belongs. Big rooms, big crowds, big nights — this tour is about connection, intensity, and reminding people why heavy music hits hardest when it’s experienced together.”
KsE front man Jesse Leach, in a separate release, shared Flynn’s enthusiasm for the upcoming first-time tour together.
“I’m extremely excited to get back out on the road supporting our newest album This Consequence!,” said Leach. “We are hitting major cities and bringing along with us an absolutely killer lineup with the legendary Robb Flynn and Machine Head, thrash masters Iron Reagan, and rounded out by the mighty Havok. This is a stacked and powerful crew of bands that will electrify and dominate wherever we roll up to… so LET’S GO!!!!!!”
