The Roundup - 17 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

Another week down and another 17 new rock and metal tours vying for your concert dollar. Who's hitting the road in 2026? And what about the festivals that were also announced this week? Let's take a closer look.

Sitting at the top of this week's tour announcements is the pairing of rock crossovers Jelly Roll and Post Malone on yet another leg of their "Big Ass Stadium Tour." The run starts in April and carries over into the summer.

Godsmack are heading up the "Rise of Rock" world tour with Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy joining for a great night of rock music. Another big 2000s band, Staind, will be celebrating 25 years of their Break the Cycle album with support from Seether, Hoobastank and Hinder.

You also have Motionless in White putting on a big summer trek with Lorna Shore, Fit for a King and Static Dress. And then there's Buckcherry, one of the hardest touring artists going. They'll be back out in May for the "Let It Roar" tour.

Elsewhere, Vans Warped Tour started to announce bands for its five festivals this year with a 30-day rollout.

Plus, we've got the full Hyperspace Metalfest lineup and the initial list of performers for the Rock for Ronnie benefit concert has been announced.
