    New Rock and Metal Tours Announced This Week

    Sarah Parker Sarah Parker Posted on


    Here are 20 new rock and metal tours that were announced this past week.

    One of the major announcements of the week came from Slayer, who revealed two special headlining/non-festival shows where they’ll be performing the Reign in Blood album in its entirety to celebrate its 40th anniversary. One show sold out so quickly that another date was added.

    This week also saw Jason Newsted taking his Chophouse Band out for their first headlining tour this summer.

    Additionally, Zakk Wylde is bringing back the pairing of Black Label Society, Zakk Sabbath, and Dark Chapel for another leg of shows later this year.

    This week also provided details on the 2027 Creed Summer of 99 and Beyond Cruise, the special guest lineup for the KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas festival this fall, and the CBGB Festival bill for 2026 as well.

    See all the big tour and festival announcements from the past seven days below.
