27 New Rock + Metal Tours + Five Festivals Announced This Week

We’ve got 27 new Rock + Metal tours and five big new festival announcements that have rolled out this past week. Which ones are for you? Read on to find out.

It was another big week for announcements, with a little something for everyone. You want some good time, blues-influenced rock? Well The Struts are back and The Black Crowes just announced another tour for their newly announced album. How about some old school alt-rock? The Pixies are hitting the road with Modest Mouse. Avril Lavigne has reclaimed her pop-punk mojo, and she’ll be hitting the road, and for those looking for something heavier, In Flames have put together an impressive spring run with Gatecreeper and Creeping Death.

We should also mention the festival announcement season is in full swing with the Beachlife, Bourbon & Beyond, Rock Fest and So What? festivals among the newly announced music weekends for 2024.
