Machinehead Cancels Entire U.S. Tour That Includes Lubbock Date [VIDEO]

A show that I was very excited to see, for many others as well, Machinehead has cancelled their entire U.S. Tour and I have those details here.

Machinehead released this statement concerning the cancellation of their U.S. Tour on their Facebook.

It is with great disappointment that Machine Head must announce the postponement of our North American tour this fall. Our new album “Bloodstone & Diamonds” has taken longer to complete than expected and we had to make the difficult choice to either delay the album, let it go out as incomplete, or cancel the tour in order to properly finish and promote the album in the caliber it needs to be done. We decided postponing the tour was the best decision for the record.

We feel this record is a milestone, we feel we have something truly special here, but getting there has been a challenge. Our vocalist / guitarist Robb Flynn just returned from a press tour where he was playing rough mixes and incomplete versions of songs for the press just to try and keep everything on time for our November release date.

Refunds will be available for tickets at point of purchase.

Look out for rescheduled American tour dates for the beginning of the year.

All scheduled European tour dates will remain as scheduled.

The show that would have been in Lubbock was scheduled on October 5th in The Backroom inside Jake's at 50th and Slide.

Hopefully we can score a reschedule date at the beginning of the year. I give Machinehead credit for not coming up with some kind of knuckleheaded excuse for just giving us the truth ans saying that they will fire it up again at the beginning of the year.

Checkout some Machinehead and we wish them the best in completing their new album.
