The event falls on Robb's 52nd birthday, so he is inviting MACHINE HEAD fans to "come down and have a raucous good time." In addition to popular TEMPLE OF THE DOG and AUDIOSLAVE songs, RUSTY CHAINS will perform the SOUNDGARDEN classic "Badmotorfinger" in its entirety. MACHINE HEAD announced in March that it will celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Burn My Eyes" with a special run of shows.
