\n

It’s another week of big rock and metal tours, so let’s see who just announced dates.<\/p>\n

Among the 14 new tours announced this week, Jack White<\/a> leads the way. He just added a last minute Coachella<\/a> appearance as well as dates booked out through the summer.<\/p>\n

For ’80s legend Billy Idol<\/a>, it truly is a nice day to tour again. He’s added a summer trek surrounding his Las Vegas residency.<\/p>\n

And if the 2000s are your jam, you can enjoy a killer co-headline bill with Silverstein<\/a> and Story of the Year<\/a> teaming up for dates running from July into November.<\/p>\n

This week also gave us the return of American Footbal<\/a>l, more Fozzy<\/a> shows and plenty more.<\/p>\n
