14 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

It's another week of big rock and metal tours, so let's see who just announced dates.

Among the 14 new tours announced this week, Jack White leads the way. He just added a last minute Coachella appearance as well as dates booked out through the summer.

For '80s legend Billy Idol, it truly is a nice day to tour again. He's added a summer trek surrounding his Las Vegas residency.

And if the 2000s are your jam, you can enjoy a killer co-headline bill with Silverstein and Story of the Year teaming up for dates running from July into November.

This week also gave us the return of American Football, more Fozzy shows and plenty more.
