CALIFORNIA’S rowdiest export BUCKCHERRY is hitting the road this fall with a glitter bomb of a guest: MICHAEL MONROE, the wild man who fronted Finnish glam-punk pioneers HANOI ROCKS (you know, the band that basically invented Guns N’ Roses’ entire vibe). The shindig kicks off Sept. 20 with a BUCKCHERRY-only warm-up gig at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano – think of it as their pre-game red bull. Starting Sept. 21, Monroe crashes the party at LA’s legendary Whisky A Go Go (cue the leopard print). They’ll tear through 30+ cities before wrapping in Wisconsin on Oct. 25… but wait, there’s more! Nine extra BUCKCHERRY-only shows follow, because apparently they don’t believe in sleep. Oh, and opening every night? DREW CAGLE AND THE REPUTATION, dubbed by Rolling Stone as “One Of The 10 Bands To Watch In 2025” (no pressure, guys). Pro tip: splurge on the VIP meet-and-greet – maybe Monroe will teach you his eyeliner secrets.

SPEAKING OF BUCKCHERRY… they just dropped a music video for “Let It Burn”, filmed during their 2025 tour with STEEL PANTHER (imagine the backstage shenanigans). Directed by Tom Flynn, it’s a fiery companion to their 11th album “Roar Like Thunder” – released June 13. Fun fact: This record’s got ZERO ballads. Josh Todd told TotalRock: “We wanted a rocking record. No slow jams, no covers – just pure adrenaline. Also, nobody listens to full albums anymore, but hey, we’re old-school like that.”
