Blog author: Alex Stojanovic 2025 seems to be shaping up another big year for Machine Head, because in addition to the European festivals they'll be playing next summer, including a headlining slot at next year's Wacken Open Air, they just announced another massive North American tour for April and May after a really successful one earlier this year. To make it even more special and gargantuan, they got an eclectic lineup of special guests with In Flames, Lacuna Coil and Unearth. That's four very different bands, making for one smoking night out. On top of that, the band have announced that a new studio album is slated for release around the same time that the tour kicks off (April 2025), and one song, titled "These Scars Won't Define Us" is a collaboration with members of all four bands on the tour lineup, and the other bands will add vocals to the track, making for what they call a "Wu Tang Clan-level thrash collaboration", and is slated to be released this Friday, November 15 at midnight. This ought to be dynamite! You can see the complete list of dates below.
