23 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

The tour and festival announcements are coming in fast and furious now, with another 23 tours and a whopping 12 festival announcements rolled out over the last week.

As far as the national tours that are being rolled out, Pantera leads the pack this week as they’ll devastate audiences with a killer bill that includes support from Amon Amarth.

Fans can also look forward to Simple Plan leaning into the nostalgic vibes taking out Bowling for Soup and 3OH!3 for dates conjuring up thoughts of Warped Tours past. And you’ve also got Pixies who continue to add dates extending their 2025 touring.

But really, the most significant news this week came on the festival front where both Vans Warped Tour and Louder Than Life completed month long lineup rollouts with a wealth of name performers making them hot tickets.

We also got the first-ever Summer of Loud tour with some of metalcore’s biggest names.

The When We Were Young festival added a second date, and Canada’s Festival d’ete de Quebec and Ottawa Bluesfest were also revealed this week.

Get all the details on all of the concerts and festivals announced over the past week below.
