    Things are starting to pick up just as the warmer weather arrives. This week we’ve got 20 new rock and metal tours announced, plus a wealth of festival reveals and special performance announcements.

    Leading the way, we have an amazing pairing of Chicago punk as Rise Against will take out Alkaline Trio for dates this fall. Meanwhile, The Pretty Reckless are adding their own headline dates amidst a run of shows with AC/DC this year. Finally, Hawthorne Heights have added another leg of shows celebrating the 20th anniversary of If Only You Were Lonely.

    This week also saw the reveal of Lollapalooza for 2026 as well as the Just Like Heaven festival bill. Legendary acts such as Sir Paul McCartney, Guns N’ Roses, and Limp Bizkit have booked some special gigs.
