20 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

Another week, another 20 new rock and metal tours to dig into. But will you be getting tickets for any of them?

One of the surprise tours of 2025 is the reunion of 2000s-era indie rock heroes Rilo Kiley. Jenny Lewis and her onetime band will be back playing dates this year, including some festival appearances.

Elsewhere, Baroness are ready to bring their riff-heavy raucousness to stages across the country while The Black Keys are once again hitting the road in support of a new album.

This week we also got the full lineup for the Bourbon & Beyond festival, Styx revealed the lineup for their Rockin’ the Paradise festival and Acid Bath and The Sword continued to add shows for their respective 2025 returns.
