It is with tremendous excitement Bloodstock can now reveal their final headliner to be Oakland metal titans MACHINE HEAD, who will make their first ever UK festival headlining appearance on Saturday, August 11th on the RONNIE JAMES DIO main stage.
MACHINE HEAD first graced
UK shores in the wake of their landmark debut album “Burn My Eyes” in
1994 as main support to Slayer. Fan reaction to MACHINE HEAD’s
signature brand of crushing metal was so intense that the band would
return immediately afterward to headline their own sold-out shows at
many of the same venues, launching a massive swell of passionate fan
support that continues to this day.
Seven albums, a Grammy nomination and countless tours later, UK fans continue to champion and support MACHINE HEAD as feverishly as they did at those first shows, and this year, at BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2012, they will be given the unprecedented opportunity to influence MACHINE HEAD’s set list!
Commemorating the 20th anniversary of MACHINE HEAD’s
first-ever live performance at their roadie Mike “Scum”’s
getting-evicted-from-his-house party - for which they performed five
songs – Bloodstocker ticket holders will be given the opportunity to
vote for the five “Burn My Eyes” songs they most want to hear MACHINE HEAD play
during their headline set Saturday night, with the five that receive
the most votes included in the set list (details to follow)!
Anyone that’s ever witnessed MACHINE HEAD live
will attest to the fact that the raw, unbridled energy of their
performance is unlike anything else you’ll ever see. With countless
legendary UK performances already on record, and a first-ever
fan-influenced setlist, it goes without saying that MACHINE HEAD’s headline set at BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2012 is going to go down in metal history as one of those festival performances that you’ll forever be glad you got to see.
Keep an eye on the official Bloodstock Facebook page for your chance to vote on the songs YOU want to hear.
