14 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

Another week, another 14 rock and metal tours that got announced! So let's take a look at what's leading the pack for tour announcements over the last seven days.

Canadian rockers Triumph have certainly enjoyed their reunion so far. So it makes sense to add another North American late-year leg in November and December.

Alt-rockers The Used are ready to hit the ground running in September and not letting off the pedal until December.

And also, Butcher Babies have set aside some October time to make some headline appearances amidst a supporting run for Mudvayne's Chad Gray.

So let's dig into all the new tours announced over the past week and learn about one significant cancelation, one tour postponement and a wealth of special one-off performances.
