Machine Head have announced a run of Australian tour dates in 2024, teaming up with industrial heavyweights Fear Factory. The two bands will hit the road in March, kicking things off in Perth on Saturday, 9th March, before playing dates in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney.
It marks the first Australian tour for Machine Head since 2018. They’d previously locked in a 2020 tour, but it was postponed and rescheduled a number of times due to the COVID pandemic before ultimately being scrapped. Fear Factory were last in Australia in 2016.
Machine Head: ‘Nø Gods, Nø Masters’
Both bands will be coming armed with new albums and new band members. Machine Head released their new album ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN in August last year, a concept record that told the story of a futuristic wasteland.
Waclaw “Vogg” Kieltyka (from Decapitated) and drummer, Matt Alston (from Devilment) joined Machine Head following the departure of Phil Demmel and Dave McClain in 2018.
This will be Fear Factory’s first Australian tour with their new vocalist Milo Silvestro in tow. Milo replaced Burton C Bell after he left the band in 2020.
