\n

We’re back with 12 more big rock and metal tours announced over this past week.<\/p>\n

Leading the way, you’ve got two of the biggest names in rock announcing their first North American tour dates of 2026. We’re talking about the theatrics of Ghost<\/a> and the absolute chaotic eruption of Nine Inch Nails<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It should also be noted that Kenny Wayne Shepherd<\/a> will be plenty busy. The guitar great kicks off a multi-month run of shows in celebration of the 30th anniversary of his Ledbetter Heights<\/a><\/em> album.<\/p>\n

This week also featured the first batch of bands announced for the 2026 Welcome to Rockville<\/a> festival, a confirmation of the star-studded lineup for the Above Ground 4<\/a> benefit in Los Angeles and details about Flogging Molly<\/a>‘s annual cruise.<\/p>\n

There’s a little something for everyone. So be sure to check out all the offerings that were announced over the last seven days below.<\/p>\n
