12 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week (Aug. 8-14, 2025)

After a light week last week, things picked up a bit with 12 new rock and metal tours announced over the past week.

Leading the way is the first ever performances for the masked mystery band President in the U.S. The group will play their initial "rallies" in December in both New York and Los Angeles before meeting up with Architects for dates in Australia and Europe to finish out 2025 and start 2026.

We also got a big tour announcement this week from Memphis May Fire. They've put together an impressive lineup that features Rain City Drive, Nevertel and If Not for Me all hitting the road in November and December.

The other big "announce" this week is that the sideshows have been announced for those heading to Las Vegas for When We Were Young weekend. Taking Back Sunday, Ice Nine Kills, Story of the Year, The Story So Far and Emo Nite Brooklyn will make the most of their Vegas visit with special local appearances beyond their WWWY appearances the weekend of Oct. 17-19.
