the-73-new-rock-+-metal-tours-announced-last-month-(december)

December certainly didn’t slow the tour season, with a massive 73 new rock and metal tours announced during the month. Hopefully some concert tickets landed under your tree or in your stocking for the holiday season.

One thing is for certain, you will not be lacking for a variety of options to see musically in 2025.

Rock and metal legends such as AC/DC, Joan Jett and Ringo Starr announced new dates. So did some of rock’s heavy hitters such as Pearl Jam, Staind, Breaking Benjamin, Creed and System of a Down.

If its newer bands you desire, Spiritbox, Damiano David, Palaye Royale and more are back at it. And for music fans wanting something decidedly heavier, you’ve got new tours from Meshuggah, Mastodon, Danzig, The Devil Wears Prada, Arch Enemy, Whitechapel and more booking new 2025 treks.

Who will you be seeing in 2025? Are you saving up and looking to see which band you want to see next? Take a look at all the rock and metal tours announced in December and see what’s available.
