IAMOND HEAD tour 2011

IAMOND HEAD Comment On Upcoming US Tour




As reported this past week, for the first time in their 35 year
history, NWOBHM legends DIAMOND HEAD will be touring the US. Previously
their only US appearance was at the NJ Metal Fest in 2002 for a sold out
show with fellow British stalwarts SAXON and WITCHFYNDE. Now for the
first time ever, Diamond Head’s US fans, and fans of the Big 4 -
METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX - will get the opportunity to
see the band that influenced them.





A band update about the tour reads as follows: "For those of you who
may have seen advertised dates, or purchased tickets, for the US NWOBHM
Tour featuring Diamond Head, GIRLSCHOOL, AL ATKINS HOLY RAGE, and
HYDROGEN, we apologize for the change in line-up. It has always been
our intention to tour with our fellow NWOBHM mates, but sadly it turned
out to not be financially feasible at this time. Diamond Head will be
making the tour and are looking forward to seeing all our US fans. It is
going to be an exciting, and busy, year for the band, it is also a year
of firsts for them. Their first appearance ever with the Big 4, the
artists who they had a major influence on, at the Sonisphere Festivals
in the UK, and France, then heading off to their first performances in
Canada, performing with MOTÖRHEAD, and MEGADETH at the Heavy TO Festival
in Toronto, followed by a performance with Girlschool, Motörhead, and
KISS, at the Heavy Metal Festival in Montreal, followed by their first
US Tour, with a stop in Istanbul, Turkey in the September, which will
also be another first for them."
