Two titans collide this June as Bay Area icons MACHINE HEAD hit the road with the legendary KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Celebrating a deep shared history and a mutual respect for the craft, these shows are dedicated to the pure power of the pit. MACHINE HEAD will be performing tracks from their latest triumph, UNATØNED—a record defined by relentless momentum and a hunger to push the boundaries of heavy music. Kicking off June 3rd in Detroit, this 16-show run hits major markets including Brooklyn, Orlando, and Houston, concluding with a hometown show in San Francisco on June 27th. Support across all dates comes from the relentless IRON REAGAN and HAVOK.

MACHINE HEADRobb Flynn comments, “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. 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.”

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 6th, at 10:00 AM local time.

Following the initial run, MACHINE HEAD will pivot to their acclaimed “An Evening With” format in select markets. These shows offer the full experience: deep cuts, rarities, and covers curated specifically for the die-hard fans. With no openers and no setlist restrictions, it’s a marathon of pure metal. Complementing these dates are high-billing appearances at major rock festivals—a testament to the fact that after three decades, MACHINE HEAD remains a vital force in the present tense.

Because tradition matters, MACHINE HEAD will ignite the final weeks of 2026 with an ‘Evening With’ holiday run. It’s that time of year when the energy is peaked, the crowds are at their loudest, and we’re all ready to lose our voices together in one last celebratory roar before the year ends.
