12 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

It was a pretty light week for new tour announcements over the last seven days as we've got 12 new rock and metal tours to discuss.

One big thing about Taking Back Sunday's upcoming run is that former member Fred Mascherino is returning to the band after branching out on his own in recent years.

Meanwhile, former Anthrax singer, John Bush, has announced three special shows to finish out the year where he'll be performing music from his era of the band while backed by his new all-star collective, Category 7.

You can also look for an early fall run led by High on Fire that was just announced as well.

This week also featured the reveal of the 2026 Cruise to the Edge, while there was also a special Halloween show dubbed Gods of Chaos bringing together metal, hip-hop and horror favorites on one stage.
