Industrial metal trailblazers Fear Factory have officially confirmed their return to the UK and Ireland this October as part of their massive “Cybernetic Domination Tour.” While initial whispers suggested a much smaller run, the band has now unveiled a comprehensive nine-date routing that covers everything from Glasgow to Southampton, including much-anticipated stops in Belfast and Dublin.
The tour marks a significant chapter for the band, who have spent the last few years solidifying their new-look lineup. With vocalist Milo Silvestro and drummer Pete Weber (Havok) now firmly established alongside guitarist Dino Cazares and bassist Tony Campos, the machine is running at full throttle. We’ve been tracking this “recharged” era closely – you can read our review of their crushing Glasgow Garage show from late 2023 here to see exactly why they remain the masters of the genre.
Supporting the industrial icons is a diverse and heavy-hitting bill. Japanese metalcore force Crystal Lake will bring their explosive stage presence, while Polish blackened death metal veterans Hate provide a relentless underground assault. Opening the night will be The Nocturnal Affair, adding a darker, atmospheric dimension to the evening. It’s a well-rounded package that promises a landmark night for fans of the heavier end of the spectrum.
The routing includes a mix of massive city venues and fan-favourite spots like Buckley’s legendary Tivoli. After their last run saw them packing out clubs across the country, these dates are expected to move fast. Tickets for all shows go on sale this Friday, 27th March at 10am via www.myticket.co.uk.
