The Headz Tour of 1994 was split in two, the first known as Headz, while the second leg was named Headz The Jam Part II. All together it was an (approximately) nine date tour which took in London, Cardiff, Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, and Dublin[1].
DJ Krush lists the tours on his site as including Germany[2], and the first leg named "Mo'Wax : Groovin' To The Max" but it is possible that was a seperate tour, or are just unknown dates.

Review
"I feel very embarrassed listening to the DJ set from back then…Mo’ Wax at that time was a label that tried to break boundaries and convention, creating new ways to build sound and art. The mentality was reflected in my music and I tried to find a new way as well. It was a time when a lot of new, inspiring music was born. Autumn of 1994, I went on the second Mo’ Wax tour and played with DJ Shadow for the first time in Bristol. The venue was packed and it had no ventilation system. The walls and records got wet from the heat of the audience and I couldn’t scratch at all. I thought for a minute that if I scratched while electrocuted, that would become a new move that no one had done before! One thing I want to say from those times: I want to thank Paul Bradshaw, the editor of London’s jazz magazine ‘Straight No Chaser’ for spreading my music in the UK for the first time." - DJ Krush[5]
