14 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

We’ve got a big week of new rock and metal tour and festival announcements! There were 14 new tours announced this week, plus some pretty major movement in the 2025 festival season, so let’s take a look.

In one of our biggest “tour” weeks in quite some time, both Ghost and Killswitch Engage announced highly anticipated treks that should be in big demand for 2025. Plus, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame icon Alice Cooper is getting his feet wet with his first dates of 2025 as well. There’s also new tours from Pixies, Unto Others, The Plot in You and more on the horizon.

On the festival front, the When We Were Young Festival revealed its 2025 lineup. You’ve also got the bill for the annual Decibel Metal and Beer Festival, the Innings and Extra Innings Festivals and plenty more.

So head below and see all of the new tickets you’re going to have to get for the coming months.
