MASCHINE & DISTRICT 97 // DOUBLE HEADLINE UK SHOWS // OCTOBER 2019

MASCHINE are thrilled to be back for a four-date UK stint doing what they do best: tearing grooves, melting faces and delivering high-octane live performances. 'Colour of Man' will be the band's 3rd studio album (to be released later this year), and they are set to perform some brand-new material for the upcoming live shows. Co-headlining with MASCHINE for the four UK dates are the incredible US progressive band DISTRICT 97.

MASCHINE are a progressive band without boundaries. The group seamlessly fuses their rock roots with modern and innovative textures shaping their sound into its own unique statement; reflecting the unflinching vision of composer, lead guitarist and vocalist, Luke Machin.
The band in recent years have received “Best new/unsigned band” award in Prog Magazine, also voted Prog Mag’s “No.1 tip”, Classic Rock Society's “Best New Band” Award. Machin has also been in the Top 10 “Best Guitarist” list in Prog Magazine four years running, reaching #5 in 2018. Machin has collaborated and worked with Jeff Beck, Francis Dunnery (It Bites), Pain of Salvation, Guthrie Govan, Chris Difford (Squeeze), Steve Hogarth (Marillion), Tom Brislin (YES) and Robert Plant. These few rare shows are going to be some of the tastiest, eye-catching, musically virtuosic performances from two of the finest young progressive acts around.*

DISTRICT 97 are delighted to be returning to the UK in October 2019, for the first time in nearly four years, to support their upcoming fourth studio album 'SCREENS' (released*October 4th, 2019 via Cherry Red).*Their UK 'SCREENING TOUR' will consist of five shows: the first of which takes place at the 'Summer's End festival' in Chepstow, Wales. The band will then join forces with UK powerhouse 'MASCHINE' for four further shows across the country.

DISTRICT 97 are undoubtedly the most musically adventurous rock band in the world to feature an American Idol Top 10 Female Finalist. For over a decade, this quintet from Chicago has melded an adventurous instrumental prowess with the look, sound, and stage presence of vocalist Leslie Hunt. Through world tours and a stream of studio/live releases, the band has garnered a worldwide fanbase, collaborating with John Wetton and also drawing praise from Bill Bruford and other rock luminaries along the way. Their forthcoming album 'SCREENS' and its accompanying live show promises to be their most ambitious effort to date. Bill Bruford:*It’s almost intimidatingly skillful; tremendous refinement on previous work – you’re doing what you do only better. Great recording sound.
