Bay Area metal titans Machine Head are set to deliver an unprecedented three-hour performance at Vienna’s Raiffeisen Halle im Gasometer on April 19, 2026, as part of their extensive European “An Evening With Machine Head” tour. The format promises an intimate yet explosive experience, with no support acts; just pure, unfiltered Machine Head from start to finish.
Frontman Robb Flynn has emphasized that these shows represent something fundamentally different from typical touring cycles. In his own words, the connection between band and audience during sing-alongs has become the defining element of Machine Head’s live experience. “I stood on stages around the world… and then I hear it: You. All of you. Singing louder than the PA,” Flynn reflects in the tour announcement.
Supporting the UNATØNED Album
The tour continues Machine Head’s support of their latest album UNATØNED, the colossal release that has reinvigorated the band’s creative fury. Fresh from summer festival appearances across Europe, the band is using these extended evening performances to explore deep cuts alongside the new material, promising rarities and improvisations that standard festival slots can’t accommodate.

What to Expect: Deep Catalog and Fan Favorites
Flynn has promised that these shows will dive deeper into the Machine Head catalog than typical touring allows. Expect classic anthems like “Davidian” and “Halo” alongside material the band hasn’t performed in years—or potentially ever. The three-hour format provides space for conversation, improvisation, and the kind of communal experience that transforms a concert into something closer to a metal ceremony.
The Vienna show marks the Austrian stop on a comprehensive European run spanning 30 dates across 13 countries. Following the Gasometer performance, Machine Head will continue through Germany, Switzerland, and eventually conclude in the UK with a London finale on May 17.
