MTV Headbangers Ball Tour reveal lineup
The lineup for this year’s MTV Headbangers Ball Tour has been revealed!
Reanimated three years ago, the iconic MTV Headbangers Ball Tour is set to hit European stages once again in November and December this year! After delivering all out thrash metal last year, the fourth edition of the tour features a bill jam-packed full of death metal.
The 17-show run will be headlined by Canadian melodic death metal heavyweights KATAKLYSM, who will be taking part in the tour for the second time after joining ICED EARTH, ENSIFERUM and UNEARTH in 2016. Joining them are WHITECHAPEL, followed by KATAKLYSM‘s label mates, Italian symphonic death metal giants FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE and opening support on the run will come from UK death metal act DYSCARNATE.
Speaking about the tour, KATAKLYSM‘s frontman Maurizio Iacano says, “the campaign for Meditations has been incredible and what great way to finish it by headlining the MTV Headbangers Ball Tour across Europe with a killer and diverse line-up featuring WHITECHAPEL, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE and DYSCARNATE. KATAKLYSM has some of the wildest crowds in the world in Europe and we look forward to visiting you once more and laying down the KATAKLYSM hurricane, you know how we do it, let’s make it memorable, get your tickets fast!” FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE frontman Francesco Paoli adds, “we’re absolutely stoked to take part in this amazing tour. We’ll have the pleasure to perform some songs from our new album Veleno for the first time, and also come back to places we haven’t played for a very long time. The tour line-up is killer and extremely rich. We already shared the stage with all of these bands in the past and we do know they are, indeed, some of the best acts in today’s metal landscape. If you are a metal fan you don’t wanna miss this! We are ready, are you?”
