\nDen Headz, for the first time in their 35 year history, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal legends DIAMOND HEAD will be touring the US. Previously their only 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\u2019s US fans, and fans of the Big 4 – METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX – will get the opportunity to see the band that influenced them.
\n
\nA 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 MOT\u00d6RHEAD, and MEGADETH at the Heavy TO Festival in Toronto, followed by a performance with Girlschool, Mot\u00f6rhead, 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.”
