Name: The Madeleine Haze Returns!
Start: 2024-12-28T19:00:00-05:00
Location: Kung Fu Necktie

Over the past couple decades, the Philadelphia area has produced dozens of incredible hard-hitting bands; yet, none have matched the raw energy, technical prowess, and songwriting excellence of progressive metal/hard rock trio The Madeleine Haze.
The project began in 2009, with singer/guitarist Zack Devine
touring extensively in support of his first two killer records: 2010’s In Search of Lost Time and 2011’s A More Perfect Union. As great as those collections were, the group didn’t reach its full potential until Devine teamed up with bassist Richard Wilson in 2013 and drummer Dan Dalton in 2014. That same year, they created The Madeleine Haze’s magnum opus thus far – Noble Lies & Pious Frauds – an intellectually and musically stunning sequence that mixed the trio’s trademark chemistry with the dynamic magic of influences such as Dream Theater, Rush, Porcupine Tree, and Queensrÿche. Naturally, they toured Noble Lies & Pious Frauds as much as possible over the ensuring years amidst receiving plenty of praise from listeners, journalists, and even genre legends such as Mike Portnoy!
Unfortunately, due to various unforeseen circumstances, the triowent on hiatus in 2018 (during the production of their fourth full-length record). Of course, they played a packed farewell show in Philadelphia beforehand, and since then, countless fans have wondered what the future of The Madeleine Haze would be—that is, until now, as Devine, Wilson, and Dalton recently announced their long-awaited reunion!
In fact, The Madeleine Haze are delighted to announce that—after six years of inactive planning—they’re returning to the stage for a special evening of music in Philadelphia on December 28, 2024. Not only will it be a celebration of their return, but it will also be a way for the band and fans to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Noble Lies & Pious Frauds.
Plus, they’ve got their sights set on completing and releasing the highly anticipated follow-up to that third record, as well as continuing to create more new music and dominate more live events moving forward. Without a doubt, the future has never been brighter for The Madeleine Haze, and they’d love for you to be a part of the newest phase of their journey!
