21 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

We’ve got a massive 21 new rock and metal tours announced over the last week and we’re hoping you left yourself some cash for concerts after your Black Friday spending.

There were some major tours announced over the past week, whether it be AC/DC making their way back to North American stages in the new year, Avril Lavigne heading up a Greatest Hits tour or Pearl Jam continuing their live support of the Dark Matter album.

There’s also a new leg of Staind / Breaking Benjamin dates, Spiritbox hitting the road, Meshuggah fronting a crushing tour with Cannibal Corpse and Carcass and Pierce the Veil rocking new dates for the new year.

This week also saw the living members of Soundgarden book a benefit appearance, Five Finger Death Punch becoming the first Sturgis Rally band of 2025 and the Kilby Block Party announcing their 2025 lineup.
