Prepare for the most monumental metal tour of 2022! Two of the world’s most revered heavy bands, Bay Area metal icons MACHINE HEAD and Sweden’s Viking metal overlords AMON AMARTH are teaming up for the colossal co-headline “Vikings And Lionhearts” arena tour set to rampage across Europe in September & October 2022.  Joining the metallic pairing to open the show are THE HALO EFFECT, a new band featuring five luminaries of Swedish Melodic Death Metal and pioneers of the genre: Peter Iwers, Daniel Svensson, Jesper Stromblad, Niclas Engelin and Mikael Stanne(DARK TRANQUILLITY). 

Machine Head frontman, Robb Flynn declares; “Head Cases and Lionhearts rejoice! It is with great pleasure we announce our triumphant return to your land to crush skulls, pummel circle pits, and deplete your beer supply!! Only this time we will not be alone. That’s right! For the first time in nearly a decade, Machine Head will be foregoing our usual “Evenings with…” to join forces with our battle-hardened brothers in the all-powerful Amon Amarth, plus their fellow countrymen, The Halo Effect. This absolute monster of a tour will kick off Autumn 2022 and will be the most devastating night of your metal lives. So get ready to raise your fists, raise your glasses, and bang your heads with us at the heaviest tour of the year! No one can resist the pure power of this epic alliance. We are coming for you!”
