tour

Rise Against started off 2012 on the road and they haven’t stopped since. We recently reported that the band will be part of this year’s Riot Fest in Chicago, and now Rise Against have announced dates for a fall 2012 North American tour.

Carnival of Madness have announced the first dates of their 2012 tour and also let us in on who will be performing this year on tour.

As Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell hits the road to make up a few missed dates on his solo ‘Songbook’ tour, it’s hard to avoid questions about the new Soundgarden and the excitement surrounding it.

Just when you thought the summer of 2012 couldn’t get any hotter in terms of metal tours that will blaze through venues during the scorching months, the temperature just skyrocketed several notches. News that Lamb of God and Dethklok from Adult Swim’s ‘Metalocalypse are co-headlining a North American tour has leaked via multiple sources.

It’s no secret that Rob Zombie is an accomplished musician, film director, screenwriter and much more. This year, he’s as busy as ever as he wraps up his new film ‘The Lords of Salem,’ prepares to hit the studio for a new album and rocks concertgoers on a co-headlining U.S. tour with Megadeth.

Buckcherry have been wrapping up the recording of their forthcoming concept album called ‘Confessions,’ but took some time out to explain why the new song ‘Wherever I Go’ appears on the ‘Avengers Assemble’ disc and not their upcoming album.

Currently in the midst of touring the United Stages, Slash and his band have announced dates for another North American headlining leg beginning in July. Slash’s sophomore solo CD ‘Apocalyptic Love’ will be released May 22.

During our coverage of the 2012 New England Metal & Hardcore Festival, we had the chance to speak with more than a dozen bands throughout the three days of music and brutality. In addition to exclusive interviews, we took the chance to ask members from each band, “What is one thing you must bring on tour with you (excluding electronics)?”

As you know The Red Hot Chili Peppers are on tour and coming to the northwest this fall. Reviews from fans so far are good. This is definitely a band on my bucket list to see since I have been a fan for over 20 years

Five Finger Death Punch and Killswitch Engage top the bill for the Trespass America summer U.S. tour. The hard-rocking lineup for the jaunt also includes Trivium, Pop Evil, Emmure, God Forbid and Battlecross, while the tour itself promises to be a “theme-park-thrill-ride for metalheads.”

You would think that since May 5th's show in Tacoma is SOLD OUT they would schedule another one in the NW, but NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!

Rock ‘n’ roll boys Buckcherry are back, and they’re hitting the road this spring on a headlining jaunt with support from ‘American Idol’ guy James Durbin and fellow hard rockers Redlight King. The tour kicks off April 21 in San Antonio, Texas.
