Madina Lake To Honour UK Dates

The band will be coming to the UK in August for their headline shows and festival appearances at Sonisphere and Hevy.

Madina Lake have decided to play their existing UK dates!

Frontman Nathan Leone told MTV yesterday that the band have come up with a way to tour as a three piece while injured bassist Matthew recovers from surgery at home in Chicago:

"We have the Sonisphere Festival coming up in the UK, and we scheduled a few headlining dates around that, and we decided last night that we're going to commit to playing them, and we're not going to hire a bass player to fill in. Instead, if it's possible, we're going to try to have Matthew record his bass tracks here, and then run them when we play live. We're not going to hire a new bass player [for the shows] ... we don't want anyone to take his place. So, if he can pick up a bass, he's going to play his parts."

Those dates are as follows (by the way, to donate toward Matthew's medical costs click here).
