10 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

We’ve got a bit of a late summer lull as bands start booking out their year end touring plans. Only 10 major rock and metal tours were announced this week, but some big name bands got in on the action.

In This Moment lead the way, calling up Kim Dracula, Nathan James and Mike’s Dead for more shows to finish up their touring year. Meanwhile, The Hu have added a bunch of headline dates during off time from the Iron Maiden tour, taking out The Funeral Portrait for shows. And you’ve got Knocked Loose putting together a rambunctiously good fall trek that will feature The Garden, Drain and Militarie Gun supporting on select dates.

This was a week in which we also got a wealth of anniversary-type shows from Avenged Sevenfold, Max Cavalera, Thursday and Jimmy Eat World.
