Slowly but surely the touring season is ramping up again from the holiday lull as 17 new rock and metal tours were announced this past week.
Leading the way, we've got a great co-headlining bill from Coheed and Cambria and Taking Back Sunday, a run of Canadian shows for Bush and Nothing More adding a batch of new shows to their existing 2025 touring.
It was an even bigger week on the festival circuit, where Bottle Rock Napa, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the Point Break Festival all announced their lineups this past week. Inkcarceration Festival keeps adding more bands. And both Jamey Jasta and Big Head Todd and the Monsters have some special shows on the horizon.
