The year brings quite a roster of 2024 rock and metal tours. Countless heavy acts have announced outings, so they’re making sure music fans stay busy this year. It really seems like each day, another band announces a massive tour.
It’s great to have so many options when it comes to live music in 2024. But, it can also be daunting. Unless you’re made of money, you have to carefully pick which shows to see. That said, we’ve complied a list of hot 2024 rock and metal tours to give you one spot to see all the action. This is a tally of some of the biggest 2024 rock and metal tours of the year.
Please note that when multiple artists are listed as openers, that usually means openers are different throughout the tour, so check your local venue information. Also, note that most of these shows are on sale via Ticketmaster and Livenation. But, some of the smaller 2024 rock and metal tours have tickets available via other outlets.
Enough with the red tape. Let’s get into a list of some of the major 2024 rock and metal tours, complied by the experts at Audio Ink Radio. Happy rocking.
