17 New Rock + Metal Tours + Seven Festivals Announced This Past Week (Jan. 27-Feb. 1, 2024)
With 17 new rock and metal tours and seven additional festivals added this week, the 2024 touring season just keeps growing and growing.
This week was highlighted by Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper reuniting for another "Freaks on Parade" summer tour with Ministry and Filter on hand. Nothing More and Wage War will be teaming up for shows. Knocked Loose will be crossing the pond and Heart are back together for the first time in several years, setting up shows with fellow '70s favorites Cheap Trick.
On the festival front, this is the year that we're introduced to the Berzerkus, Brightside and Minnesota Yacht Club festivals (that last one rocks more than you might think).
