MAMMOTH WVH ANNOUNCES UK HEADLINE SHOWS IN JULY AMIDST EXTENSIVE TOURING PLANS FOR 2024
Fresh off their highly acclaimed and audience-captivating tour opening for guitar legend Slash with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators across the UK, powerhouse rock band Mammoth WVH announces their return to the UK. Prepare for an exhilarating experience as Mammoth WVH takes the spotlight for two headline performances in July 2024 amidst their packed touring agenda.
Mammoth WVH are a force to be reckoned with in the up-and-coming rock scene following a monumental breakthrough; a prestigious GRAMMY® Award nomination for their debut single and #1 chart-topping success, Mammoth WVH’s self-titled debut album sent shockwaves through the industry. Frontman Wolfgang Van Halen exerts undeniable talent as a songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, accompanied by Frank Sidoris (guitars), Jon Jourdan (guitars), Ronnie Ficarro (bass) and Garrett Whitlock (drums).
Mammoth WVH have been stamping their mark across the US and Europe since the release of their second album, “Mammoth II,” in August 2023, and they are certainly not losing momentum as they blaze across the UK. Dedicating over a year performing shows alongside rock heroes such as Metallica, Alter Bridge and Sevendust, Def Leppard and Motley Crüe, and Nita Strauss, Mammoth WVH’s extensive influence marks them as a growing force in the alternative scene, dominating international stages with their powerful riffs, infectious melodies, and raw and introspective lyrics.
In classic WVH signature style, Wolfgang Van Halen embarked on a journey to push the boundaries of his sound with Mammoth II, single-handedly writing all songs and performing all instrumentals and vocals. From the energetic opener “Right?” to the Beatles-esque fade on the closing track “Better Than You”, Mammoth II takes you on a journey with songs such as “Miles Above Me,” “Take a Bow” and “Waiting”. Strap in tight and enjoy the ride as Mammoth WVH immerses you in a sonic experience which reflects Wolfgang’s evolution as a songwriter, musician, and particularly as a vocalist.
Mammoth WVH return to the United Kingdom for just a stellar two nights:
Monday, July 8th at O2 Institute 2, BIRMINGHAM
Tuesday, July 9th at O2 Academy Islington, LONDON
Tickets for the eagerly anticipated shows are now available for purchase as of Wednesday, April 10th at 10 am BST, with special guests yet to be announced.
Following their European leg with Slash, Mammoth WVH returns to the USA for a series of headline shows, including support from Intervals and an appearance at the Welcome To Rockville festival in May. In June, Mammoth WVH re-joins Metallica on their M72 World tour in mainland Europe, popping up across the continent for performances at Graspop, Hellfest, as well as other European festivals. The brief UK visit in July is immediately followed by more US headline shows, dates with Foo Fighters, and then further Metallica US & Mexico dates with Pantera and Greta Van Fleet into September. To close out November and December 2024, Mammoth WVH will embark on a tour across the US with Creed and 3 Doors Down.
Tickets and VIP packages for all Mammoth WVH appearances can be found on their official website at https://www.mammothwvh.com.
Recorded at the legendary 5150 studio, their latest album, “Mammoth II”, was produced by Michael “Elvis” Baskette and has piled up rave reviews across the globe, propelling Wolfgang into a plethora of worldwide magazine front covers and TV appearances. The most recent single, “I’m Alright,” is an absolute hit following an official music video which continues the entertaining and humorous storyline from the video for “Another Celebration At The End Of The World.” In this video, the former bandmates of Wolfgang, who were fired from Mammoth WVH, form their own band called Mammoth WWW and enter the same Battle of the Bands competition. Upon hearing Mammoth WWW rehearsing “I’m Alright,” they steal the song from Mammoth WVH. With easter eggs to be spotted, Wolfgang’s mother, the legendary actress and chef Valerie Bertinelli, makes a cameo appearance in the video.
