It has been a significant week for tour announcements with 23 new rock and metal tours revealed over the last seven days.
Two of rock radio’s most prominent bands lead the lineup. Breaking Benjamin will embark on a tour with Chevelle, Starset, and Kami Kehoe, while Shinedown has secured support from Coheed and Cambria, Black Stone Cherry, From Ashes to New, and DJ Rock Feed.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band announced new dates, which received criticism from the White House, and Poppy has scheduled a new series of shows in the U.S. that are sure to keep things exciting.
This week also saw the announcement of the lineups for Bourbon & Beyond and Summerfest, along with an additional batch of bands added to the Vans Warped Tour.
