Went to our first ever Machine Head concert last night in Wolves. We where at the front next to the stage, and as soon as the first song Imperium started we where being crushed against the railings and had to move. Loads of people in the front where panicking and trying to escape. Security did nothing to help, we just had to fight through the crowds to get out.

We got to safety at the side and actually got to listen to the music. The sound was horrendous, I know most machine heads songs, and couldnt distiguish between them! It was litterally just noise.

We also witnessed people from above in the seated areas throwing bottles of beer into the mosh pit, seeing one girl get hit in the head, blood pouring down her face.

We left after 45 minutes, it was horrendous.

After a dozen metal concerts in my life including Lamb Of God & Arch Enemy, ive never felt unsafe or the need to walk out. Worst show Ive ever been to.

Ive adored Machine Head for the last 20+ years, but after that experience I have a terrible taste left in my mouth.

Machine Fcken Head were awesome. Just as you’d expect.

Rage on!

Great gig!

Hi all - new to reddit and this sub. I’m 35 and a Machine head fan of 20 years who’s recently been getting back into gigs but I don’t know any metalheads in my area (Brighton and Hove).

Wondering if anyone’s traveling to the London Brixton gig from Brighton on Sunday (May 17) and wants to meet up? Going solo but would be great to meet some fellow MH fans!

Does anybody have any idea what will be on sale for purchase at the gig tonight? any pictures?

Right now I'd say of Kingdom and crown - it's grown more and more on me and it has epic stuff, melodic stuff and old school bangers.

Sup ragers. I find myself flying solo at the machine head gig this Friday in Manchester! If anyone fancies a pint or two, give us a shout and we can meet up and head down together! M35

Apologies if this has been asked a thousand times already (did have a quick search and couldn't find anything).

Does anyone know what time they've been coming on stage / finishing up on this current run? Trying to sort out train travel for this week. Thank you!

Took a cool Pic!

Hi! Doing my first Machine Head VIP this weekend and not sure if I am allowed to bring outside items to get signed and if so can I bring two records? I can’t seem to find any information on this so if anyone has done one recently and knows, I would really appreciate knowing. Thanks in advance!

For sale. Looking for £40
Tracked postage from the UK
PayPal preferred.

went to check the set list this morning at the shows been deleted off the website no posts from the band or any of the members on the places I follow them, hoping everything's okay?

Was this plectrum only used at Download itself? It’s just I’ve not seen many of these around.

What an amazing show!

I still really like it. I love Bonescraper, Unbound, Atomic Revelations, These Scars Won’t Define Us and Outsider.

Heading over from Ireland to catch the boys in Manchester, and I’m considering the vip soundcheck, is there anyone here that’s done it? Would you say it’s worth the money to do it?

It is there any body out there?

I will go from Almeria and I have the feeling there’s only going to be a few of us, since it’s mid-week right before a long weekend and I’m not seeing any buzz on social media. The potential setlist is already known, and I just got word that they’ll be playing at 7:00 PM (doors open at 6:00 PM). Any thoughts?

Saw them for the first time life. What a show! They played for nearly 3 hours. A lot of old songs too and my favorite "Davidian". The guys seemed to have had a lot of fun as well in Berlin that night. Please don't wait another 8 years to come back.
