Weekly Tour Roundup - 5 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

In a holiday week, the touring business continues to slow down a bit. This past week gave us only five new rock and metal tours to announce, while we also got news on a pair of Halloween shows and a couple of bits of festival news.

The big touring announcement this week comes from Alter Bridge. In announcing the first single from their upcoming self-titled album, the band also dropped the news of their first leg of U.S. tour dates in the new year to support the run. Sevendust, Filter and Tim Montana will all spend time opening for the group.

Looking for something a little more heavy and extreme? How about a late 2025 run for Agnostic Front? Raw Brigade and Violent Way are tagging along for what should be a brutal series of dates.

This week also brings us special Halloween performances for Danny Elfman and Gov't Mule. And we've got the full Hell's Heroes festival lineup now being filled out.
