11 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

It was a relatively light week for new tour and festival and announcements, but we've got 11 new tours to reveal for rock and metal fans this week.

Sitting at the top of the pack are Sevendust, who are starting to look ahead to the end of the year where they will be playing a special acoustic run of shows. The other big new tour features guitarist Tom Morello who will be embarking on a November run of shows as he starts off his solo rock career.

Elsewhere, you've got a hard-hitting pairing from Agnostic Front and Strung Out, a buzzy fall tour from Loathe and plenty more.

This week also featured the reveal of the Dia De Los Deftones lineup as well as the Decibel Metal and Beer Fest Denver roster of acts performing.
