19 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

We hope you've built up some cash in your concert fund because it was a huge week in tour announcements.

Staind announced a second leg of their Break the Cycle 25th anniversary tour. Slash with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators have booked 2027 tour dates in support of an upcoming new album. And we've got Greta Van Fleet now booking out a North American tour in support of their newly released album.

This week also saw veteran rockers Def Leppard and Goo Goo Dolls team up for a co-headlining run, a pretty great package tour headlined by From Ashes to New and up-and-comers Twin Temple booking out a headline run.

But maybe the biggest news of the week came from Aerosmith who revealed a pair of star-studded "Aerosmith and Friends" dates taking place at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl. And speaking of friends, Queens of the Stone Age's Joshua Homme is also heading up a benefit performance with some name guests as well in Los Angeles. Plus, we got the first band announced for Sonic Temple 2027 and the Mojave Experience Festival lineup.
