Machine Head 2026 EU/UK tour: Ticket info, dates, venues, and more explored

Machine Head are officially preparing for one of their most extensive touring cycles in recent years. The band has confirmed a run of European and UK dates for spring 2026.

Machine Head is led by frontman Robb Flynn. They will present the shows under the banner "An Evening With Machine Head." This newly announced 2026 run follows a relatively busy period for the group, which includes a North American tour in 2025, a new album, festival appearances, and an upcoming stop in Australia.

Machine Head's Robb Flynn stated:

"I have been thinking a lot about what makes a Machine Head show… a Machine F**kin' Head show. People talk about the riffs, the circle-pits, the sweat, the beers, the chaos, and yeah, all of that is part of who we are. It always has been. But there is something else. Something I did not fully understand until years into doing this. It's the singing."

Machine Head announced the upcoming 2026 run via an official Instagram post, captioning:

"‼️MACHINE HEAD ANNOUNCE EU/UK "EVENING WITH"‼️ 3 hours of molten metal, raging pits, and life-affirming sing-alongs!"

In an official note about this upcoming run, Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn mentioned:

"There was a show a while back, honestly, I can't even remember what city it was but during Darkness Within, the crowd came in so strong on that first line I actually stepped back from the mic. Just… let it happen. And as I listened, I felt something shift inside me. Like, this is why we’re here. This connection. This shared voice. It’s not a performance anymore. It becomes a conversation. A communion. And that is why we are doing this tour."
