Please welcome Vogg and Matt to the Machine Head family!

By Machine Head

Head Cases, please welcome Vogg Kiełtyka and Matt Alston to the Machine Head family!!  Machine Head are proud to announce the two new full-time members who will be performing the first set of the upcoming 3 hour "Evening With" / 'Burn My Eyes 25th Anniversary tour, with the 2nd set performed by original BME-alumni Chris Kontos and Logan Mader.

Band visionary and mastermind Robb Flynn states, "it is an honor to perform alongside Matt and Vogg, these two are straight up "elite-level" players, and fucking BEASTS on-stage! I cannot wait for the Head Cases of the world to get crushed by the heaviness that they will bring, let's do this!".

New guitarist Vogg Kiełtyka (Decapitated) adds: "It’s a huge honour to be able to play at the same stage with the mighty Machine Head. I grew up on their music and when I heard I will join them on this tour, I was literally STOKED! 

As a thirteen years old I was learning songs from "Burn My Eyes” which is still one of my favorite albums EVER, that album had also a big influence on my playing and my guitar skills." 

He continues, "Machine Head is not just a band, it’s an institution who has still a big influence on how all metal scene looks like, so for me as a musician and also a metal fan it’s something special to be able to be a small part of it.

That will be definitely a huge lesson and experience for me to be a part of such a professional team. Adventure begins, I cannot wait!" 

Vogg will continue to perform double-duty with his band Decapitated adding:  "To all Decapitated fans: I will see with you also during Decapitated shows in 2020. We do plan also to compose new music for next Decapitated album so keep an eye on more news!" 

New drummer Matt Alston adds, "I’m honoured to announce that I will be playing drums for Machine Head for the next world tour cycle alongside Chris Kontos on their 'Burn My Eyes' 25th Anniversary tour.

It was a pleasure working for MH over last years world tour, but now having the opportunity to be playing their songs is something I never would have imagined while growing up & listening to their music.

Pre-production for the upcoming European tour starts on Monday, needless to say I can’t fucking wait to get on the road!

A huge, HUGE thanks to my brother Steve Lagudi for getting me the opportunity to audition, and of course to Robb, Jared, & the whole MH team for welcoming me into this new position."

2ND EUROPEAN ‘BURN MY EYES’ 25th ANNIVERSARY TOUR ANNOUNCED!

By Machine Head

 

Let Freedom Ring With A Shotgun Blast!  It is with great excitement that MACHINE HEAD announce the second EU leg of their 25 Year Anniversary tour for the band’s classic debut, ‘Burn My Eyes'.  

**Pre-sale ticket links for 2020 dates go live at 9AM U.K. time

https://www.machinehead1.com/blogs/news/europe-bme25-round-2-pre-sale-links-are-live


**USA dates announcing SOON!!**

The 2nd massive round of tour dates kick off in Spain on 19th April in Zaragoza, and continue across Portugal, Eastern Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, wrapping in Birmingham and London at the legendary Alexandra Palace on June 5th and 6th. 

Building on their wildly popular 'Evening With…’ format, these not-to-be-missed shows will be a three-hour musical extravaganza, comprised of two parts: 

Part I- will feature a battery of MACHINE HEAD’s modern classics, such as ‘Imperium,’  ‘Halo,’ 'Ten Ton Hammer' and, ‘The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears,’ featuring frontman/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Jared MacEachern performing alongside two, soon-to-be-announced ragers on guitar and drums.

Part II- will feature the Bay Area titan’s classic debut album, ‘Burn My Eyes’ played in its entirety for the first time ever.  And if somehow this historical event could not be monumental enough, taking the stage for this part of the set will be ‘Burn My Eyes’-era alumni and MACHINE HEAD’s original drummer Chris Kontos and original guitarist, Logan Mader.

Band founder and visionary, Robb Flynn tells us “While we all expected the first round of dates to do well, no one could have predicted the frankly mind-boggling attendance numbers with Paris selling out in 1 hour and London selling out in 8 hours!  We want everyone to have the opportunity to take part in this very special, once-in-a-lifetime-event, and as promised, we are bringing this around the globe well into Dec 2020.  So stoked to bring this event to so many territories that we can't always get to, and ending at Alexandra Palace will be monu-MENTAL!"

Jared MacEachern is equally looking forward to the run, saying “Lemme just say, you head cases are in for a massively heavy treat! These BME songs are sounding CRUSHING, and the vibe is great. Remember the first time you ever heard Burn My Eyes? OG head cases are gonna feel it like the first time, and all you other cats are gonna see where it all began!”.

Logan Mader adds, “Really looking forward to this tour and hitting all the markets we will miss on the first run. It’s gonna be amazing! I’ve never been to Greece or Russia and now I’ll have the chance to visit both!!”.

Chris Kontos echoes the sentiment, stating, “This is going to be amazing!!!  Playing lots of countries I have never played before and some of my favorite places too.  I'm very excited about going to Greece being GREEK!!! Playing Russia I'm sure will be quite the adventure. Looking forward to rocking this out!!!!”

Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time, Friday 20th September, with VIP pre-sale going live at 10am on Wednesday 18th September

An extremely limited amount of VIP packages will be made available to 30 folks (per show) HERE
