Considering how influential they were to the Big 4, it’s somewhat surprisingly that Diamond Head haven’t toured the U.S. until now. But this coming Fall, the NWOBHM legends will indeed embark on their first tour of the States ever.
Though they had been inactive from 1985 to 1991, and then again from 1994 to 2000, Diamond Head has regained a surge of popularity thanks to the Big 4 jamming on their classic “Am I Evil?” during the Sofia, Bulgaria and California show. Seeing how their New York show is only two weeks before the Big 4’s Yankee Stadium show, it wouldn’t be too hard to believe if the band joined in on the “Am I Evil?” jam. Then again, that probably has a better chance of happening during the Big 4’s UK show.
