Bay Area metal titans Machine Head are set to embark on a massive North American tour in 2025, bringing along Swedish metal icons In Flames, Italian alt-metallers Lacuna Coil, and American metalcore maestros Unearth. This five-week trek will see bands traverse the continent, beginning in Machine Head’s hometown of Oakland, California, and making stops across the United States and Canada before heading overseas for a summer of major European festival appearances.

The tour kicks off on April 5 at the legendary Fox Theater in Oakland, California, before heading south through Arizona, California, and Texas, then swinging northeast with performances in New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The journey will then take the bands into Canada, hitting Montreal and Toronto before looping back through the Midwest and concluding in Kelowna, BC, on May 10.

To mark this momentous occasion, Machine Head has unveiled a brand-new collaborative track, “These Scars Won’t Define Us,” featuring vocal contributions from all four bands on the tour. The song, described as a thrash-metal powerhouse with an all-star lineup of voices, comes from Machine Head’s forthcoming album, set for release in April 2025. Fans can listen to or purchase the track now via digital platforms.
