18 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week

It’s time to get queued up as we’ve got another 18 rock and metal tours that have been announced over the past week.

Leading the way this week, we’ve got The Who who will be returning to the U.S. this fall on their This Song Is Over farewell tour.

For those looking for something a little more extreme, we’ve got Cannibal Corpse hitting the road with support from Municipal Waste and Fulci for what should be a thrashing great time.

Meanwhile, Mudvayne have put together a solid fall bill with Static-X and Vended and In This Moment will rock the summer months with Wargasm, Kat Von D and The Pretty Wild.

This week also saw the announcements of the Austin City Limits and Bumbershoot festivals.
