14 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week (Oct. 10 – 16, 2025)

It's another big week of rock and metal tour announcements and some long awaited reunions are leading the way.

No Doubt are the latest band to use a residency to initiate their return. The group will take their show to The Sphere in Las Vegas next May to play their first extended run of dates in 14 years.

Sugar also announced their return after 31 years away, but so far they've only announced a pair of two-night stands in New York City and London.

Elsewhere, Dropkick Murphys extended their annual St. Patrick's Day touring. Meanwhile, Nonpoint have announced a new leg of "Painful Statements" tour dates celebrating their To the Pain and Statement anniversaries (20th and 25th).
