Bay Area metal icons MACHINE HEAD are thrilled to announce a UK headline tour for this December.

Fans who missed the band on their recent super-intimate 5-date 'Killers & Kings' tour earlier this month can now snag tickets for the winter run.
 
Frontman Robb Flynn is looking forward to it, commenting: "We're really excited to announce the UK dates for our first full headline tour since 2011!  We can't fucking wait to play new music for all you HeadCases!  We have some great support bands lined up, including Howard Jones' (ex-Killswitch Engage) new band Devil You Know and one of the best bands around that happen to be some of the greatest dudes to hang with - our friends in Darkest Hour.  So come out and rage with The Head, UK!!!"
 
With a brand new album in the workings set for release later this year via the band's new record label home, Nuclear Blast, expect MACHINE HEAD to bust out a few brand new tracks on this upcoming tour.  This'll be your first chance to catch those new songs live!
