Bay Area metal veterans Machine Head have stepped up to fill Bullet For My Valentine's place on Metallica's star-studded bill at Wembley Stadium on July 9.
"Holy Crap!!!" commented Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel about the announcement. "A monstrous cherry just got plopped on top of our already huge European festival-run pie, in the shape of the Metallica show at Wembley Stadium. Are you effin' kidding me?!? We couldn't have asked for a better ending to this amazing ride through Europe than to play with our Bay Area brothers at this legendary venue. WOO HOO!!"
The line-up will now feature Metallica, HIM, Machine Head and Mastodon. Bullet For My Valentine were forced to pull-out of the show because vocalist Matt Tuck needed a tonsillectomy.
