There’s a bit of a lull this week as we have only 12 new rock and metal tour announcements coming your way over the past seven days.
The biggest tours we have this week include the return of Dogstar, a heavy Kataklysm and Six Feet Under co-headline bill, and more Fear Factory dates.
The bigger news this week comes on a smaller scale. Marilyn Manson has booked a special two-night engagement in Los Angeles to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Antichrist Superstar. Lamb of God have added a Philadelphia pop-up show to celebrate their new album. Additionally, 311, who just celebrated 3-11 Day this week, announced a 311 Cruise for 2027. Get all the details below.
