11 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week


We’ve got a wide range of rock and metal tours that have been announced over the past week. In fact, there’s 11 new tours to hype, so let’s take a closer look.

Blink-182 have announced a 20-date U.S. run, pairing themselves up with old pal Matt Skiba and his band Alkaline Trio. LCD Soundsystem have tacked on more late summer dates with support from TV On the Radio. And you’ve also got a killer bill for those looking for something a little heavier as Powerwolf will take out DragonForce for shows later this year.

It should also be noted that Creed have already announced a great lineup for their Summer of ’99 and Beyond Cruise that will take place in April next year. And we’ve also got a special Thirty Seconds to Mars 20th anniversary show to celebrate the A Beautiful Lie album.

What all has been announced over the past week? Get a closer look below.
