11 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

If you're looking for a great Christmas gift, concert tickets should do well and we've got 11 more rock and metal acts announcing upcoming dates the could be great stocking stuffers.

One announcement that definitely caught our attention this week was Evanescence's upcoming trek that will feature Spiritbox and Poppy on select dates, as well as Nova Twins and K. Flay. There should be plenty of crossover potential here as Amy Lee has appeared on song with several of the support acts.

Meanwhile, Mammoth had another big year with The End album and the Wolfgang Van Halen-led band have booked a 2026 headline run with support from 10 Years and James and the Cold Gun that is not to be missed.

This week also features a great August Burns Red / The Amity Affliction co-headline run, Amyl and the Sniffers booking U.S. dates and a short trek led by Chevelle. Plus we've got special residencies for LCD Soundsystem and Phish, as well as the reveal of Bonnaroo's 2026 lineup.
