Machine Head Announce 2026 “An Evening With…” European Tour — Three-Hour Shows Return

Machine Head are gearing up for a massive return to Europe in spring 2026 — and they’re doing it on their own terms. The band has just announced an “An Evening With…” headlining tour, bringing back their legendary three-hour format with no support acts, no interruptions and absolutely no compromises.

Robb Flynn explains the idea behind the tour with rare intensity: Machine Head shows have always been about the riffs, the pits, the sweat, the chaos — but above all, the singing. The crowds. The way fans take songs written in some cold Oakland rehearsal room and transform them into something living, something bigger. Flynn talks about hearing thousands of voices lift “Darkness Within” or roaring the first line of “Halo” so loud he stepped back from the mic. These nights aren’t just concerts — they’re communion.

So for this run, the band is stripping everything down to pure connection: three hours of anthems, deep cuts, ragers, emotional epics, surprises, improvisation and moments that feel like the floor might crack beneath the weight of voices screaming “LET FREEDOM RING!” during “Davidian.” Flynn says these nights are where the band and crowd become one, and 2026 will push that spirit further than ever.
