Posted on by Oran


Overdrive caught up with Machine Head frontman, Robb Flynn for Bloodstock TV to talk about the band’s new album, their, not-so-secret set, at Bloodstock, the forthcoming tour with Amon Amarth, and much more…

In this exclusive Bloodstock TV interview, Flynn tells us how their secret performance came about at this year’s Bloodstock Open Air Fest and what’s in store for the mighty Vikings and Lionhearts co-headline tour with Amon Amarth…

Grabbing headlines all over the world with their exclusive secret performance at Bloodstock last month, it’s safe to say that Machine Head knows how to make a statement!

Founding member and band leader caught up with us on behalf of Bloodstock TV to talk about the secret performance, their new album and forthcoming co-headline dates with Amon Amarth.

When asked if Machine Head would ever play a festival again, Flynn responded: “Part of me says, ‘Yeah’ but you also have to do the festival circuit and it’s a hard schedule. I’ll never say never. I needed to get a break from it and also need to feel that connection with the audience. “
