With a gathering of fans lined up for hours hoping to see The Machine Killer Tour, and all of the band’s equipment staged and ready this evening in Murfreesboro, TN; it is unfortunate that Sevendust and Static-X were forced to cancel tonight’s performances. The show scheduled to take place in minutes at the Hop Springs Beer Park is being scratched after officials forced the show to be canceled due to inadequate security measures. The artists, promoter and venue tried valiantly to come up with a solution, but in the end – the safety of everyone took precedence.
“The last thing any band ever wants to do is to cancel a show. We were all here and ready to play when we were given the news that officials had shut the event down due to inadequate security measures. We wish this didn’t happen and are working to figure an alternative to bring the show to the area as soon as we can,” explains Static-X and Sevendust in a joint statement to the press.
Refunds will be issued at the point of purchase.
Due to the overwhelming excitement by fans for The Machine Killer Tour, Sevendust and Static-X announced a second leg in February 2024. The Machine Killer Tour is a reunion that is over two decades in the making and goes all the way back to 1999. Sevendust, Static-X, and Dope were each exploding onto the scene and partnered up to create one of the most memorable tours of that year.
Now the metal holy trinity will continue touring together next year - the first leg of the tour is this October - where the first run leaves off starting in February 2024. The Machine Killer Tour co-headlined by Static-X & Sevendust is named after the Gold certified sophomore album Machine by Static-X and their recently acclaimed Rise Of The Machine tour, along with the recently released, chart-topping 14th studio album from Sevendust, Truth Killer.
The 21-city tour will kick off on February 1 in Myrtle Beach, SC before wrapping up on February 27 in Newport, KY. Along the way, the tour will make stops in Tampa, FL (February 4), Huntington, NY (February 14), Pittsburgh, PA (February 19) and Madison, WI (February 26) among other. Rockers Dope and newcomers Lines of Loyalty will continue to act as support for The Machine Killer Tour. Information on tickets for all shows and VIP packages can be found via static-x.org, or sevendust.com.
