Happy holidays! We have a flurry of touring activity centered over the U.S. and Canada with a whopping 41 new rock and metal tours announced over the last week. Additionally, there are 10 more festival and special show announcements from this past week.
Leading the pack is the killer co-headline run featuring old pals Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte booked for next summer. We’ve also got a late spring run from AFI, new spring dates for Rise Against, and an early year run from Sebastian Bach.
There’s another great co-headliner with Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity, a powerful pairing of Amon Amarth with Dethklok, a Slaughter to Prevail headline trek, the return of Kreator to the road, and new Cradle of Filth dates.
As previously mentioned, the festival circuit was busy this week. Creed announced the Summer of ’99 and Beyond Festival, the first names dropped for the Upheaval Festival, and we got the full bill from the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival. Plus, it’s looking like an amazing turnout for the annual Ronnie Montrose Remembered tribute taking place at NAMM early in 2026.
