As we near Black Friday and the holiday gift giving season, just a reminder that concert tickets make a nice stocking stuffer. And you’ve come to the right place as 20 new rock and metal concert tours were announced this week alone. And that’s not to mention all the festivals and one-off specialty shows that were also revealed in the last seven days.
There’s a little something for everyone, whether it be your headbanging, leather-wearing Judas Priest worshipping uncle, your 90s Pantera-grooving cousin or even your alt-rock psychedelically-inclined sibling anxious about Porno for Pyros return. Plus you’ve got Sammy Hagar digging deep into the Van Halen catalog, Staind bringing past and present together like they never took a hiatus and Starset staging their latest installations for their interplanetary fandom.
So start checking the names off your shopping list by giving the gift of live music, perhaps with some of the selections from this week’s newly announced rock and metal tours below.
