Nine New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

In a week dominated by the U.S. presidential election, it was a relatively light slate of new tour and festival announcements. We’ve got nine new tours announced in the rock and metal world.

Leading the way, we’ve got Chiodos starting up again in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their All’s Well That Ends Well album. Nonpoint also have reason to celebrate, revisiting the To the Pain and Statement albums for their 20th and 25th anniversaries.

Elsewhere, the Welcome to Rockville lineup is starting to come together with organizers revealing stage by stage announcements of who will be playing next year. And we’ve got a killer lineup for Los Angeles’ annual Almost Acoustic Christmas radio festival.
