13 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week
It’s Friday, which means it’s time to recap the biggest tour, festival, cruise and special show announcements from the past week. This week, we’ve got 13 new tours to discuss.
Leading the way, it’s Godsmack who’ve added another leg of dates onto what we’ve been seeing this summer. Stone Temple Pilots won’t be part of this run, but support act Dorothy will stick around through October supporting Godsmack.
Story of the Year and Silverstein are teaming up for the Camp Screamo tour’s second leg, which will kick off this November and December after the already successful summer run of shows. Stand Atlantic and Footballhead will provide support.
And for something a little more aggressive, we’ve got Agnostic Front booking a short run of shows in October. Roger Miret and his crew are taking Beton Arme and Restraining Order out on these dates.
This week also saw the addition of several more bands to the Decibel Metal and Beer Festival Denver lineup and a pairing of two bands in Jimmy Eat World and The Format celebrating album anniversaries at the Hollywood Bowl.
