ALICE COOPER will bring the “Alice’s Attic” tour back to North American stages this fall, because apparently the attic still has a few cursed props left to unpack. The fall leg kicks off October 27 in Clearwater, FL, and runs through November 21 in Reno, NV. Before that, Cooper has […]

NARCOTIC WASTELAND will hit the road this August for the “Fentanyl Zombie Apocalypse Tour,” with VISITANT joining the main run and MONOCHROMATIC BLACK, IATT, and YOTUMA appearing on select dates.

INSOMNIAC have officially started their summer tour, and the Atlanta heavy psych crew already have another run waiting in the wings.

WEEDEATER have announced a fall headlining run with a rotating support cast that includes ZEKE, ROYAL THUNDER, YES MA’AM, GWAR, and BRAT. It is less a simple tour lineup and more a carefully labeled jar of something you probably should not open indoors. The run begins September 17 in Lexington, […]

HYPOCRISY have added four U.S. headlining shows around their upcoming North American run with DIMMU BORGIR, SUFFOCATION, and HULDER.

BLACK TUSK have canceled the rest of their 2026 live performances while members and fill-in touring personnel deal with injuries.

BAYSIDE have announced their Fall 2026 tour plans, with a headline run kicking off September 15 in Fort Collins, CO, and wrapping October 10 in Louisville, KY.
