San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans MACHINE HEAD have officially unveiled the initial leg of their North American tour for 2024, aptly titled “Slaughter The Martour North America 2024”
In a break from their usual “An Evening With…” format, the band is making an exceptional change for the first time in a decade. This time, MACHINE HEAD will be joined by Los Angeles’ cyber-metal masters, FEAR FACTORY, Sweden’s ORBIT CULTURE, and Louisville, Kentucky’s GATES TO HELL, guaranteeing that your 2024 will kick off with an unparalleled dose of heaviness.
“Slaughter The Martour North America 2024” commences with a special “hometown” performance in San Francisco on January 19, marking MACHINE HEAD‘s first show there since 2020. The tour will then journey north, making stops in the Pacific Northwest and featuring a string of eight shows in Canada. The itinerary includes visits to cities like Chicago, Orlando, and Houston before culminating in Los Angeles on February 24 at The Bellwether. General ticket sales will begin on Friday, October 20 at 10 a.m. local time.
This tour promises to be an unforgettable experience for metal enthusiasts across North America. Prepare yourself for an overwhelming surge of sonic intensity as these four exceptional bands come together, ensuring that this tour will undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about metal events in years.
MACHINE HEAD founder Robb Flynn says: “Head Cases! This will be the greatest metal tour on earth! So stoked to be getting back on the road in America/Canada with four masters of soul-crushing heaviness and an absolutely earth-shattering bill. FEAR FACTORY have long been our brothers-in-arms, pioneers and innovators of a sound that had yet to exist. ORBIT CULTURE are the fast-rising Swedish modern metal maniacs brining their unique spin to the world, and GATES TO HELL absolutely blew my mind at Milwaukee Metalfest with their sheer savage brutality.
“North America, we’re ready to crush skulls, crush beers, and crush everything in our path!”
FEAR FACTORY‘s Dino Cazares states: “We are honored to be touring with the mighty MACHINE HEAD. We came up in the metal scene together and both bands have stamped their mark in modern metal, plus Robb has been a good friend of mine for close to 30 years. We are fucking excited for the metal fans to see this amazing package and we can’t wait to get out there. Let’s fucking rage!”
ORBIT CULTURE says: “It is such an honor for us to be going on tour with MACHINE HEAD and FEAR FACTORY across North America, we look forward to bring you all our brand of metal. Beware of the antlers North America!”
Says GATES TO HELL: “MACHINE HEAD was one of the bands that inspired GATES TO HELL to form. They’re a personal favorite to several of us. Out of all the tours we’ve had the opportunity to be a part of over the past year, this is definitely the one we’ve been most excited for. Very excited to share the stage with MACHINE HEAD, FEAR FACTORY and ORBIT CULTURE.”
