12 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

Coming off a holiday weekend, the tour industry was still a little bit quiet this week. Only 12 new tours were announced over the last seven days.

Leading the way, Bayside will be touring in September and October, taking out Driveways and Grave Secrets.

Suicidal Tendencies have also booked a short run of shows taking place in late August and early September with special guests Cro-Mags and New World Man.

And you've also got rocker turned film composer Danny Elfman bringing a mix of his film and TV work with his solo and Oingo Boingo rock past and present.

This week also brought us the reveal of the performance lineup for the 2027 edition of the 311 Cruise. And we've also got the announcement of a special Ramones 50th anniversary celebration with a surprise supergroup.
