13 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week (April 5-11, 2024)

Here are 13 new rock and metal tours and a handful of festival and other live events announced over the last week.

After having to back out of their originally planned farewell tour dates to allow singer Steven Tyler to recovery from a vocal injury, Aerosmith have rescheduled their final run for later this year and into 2025.

Meanwhile, Architects released the new song "Curse" and dropped a second batch of North American tour dates for 2024. And another exciting co-headliner has been put on the books with rock legends Deep Purple and Yes teaming up for a late summer jaunt.
