This week, we can express a bit of gratitude for a brief pause in the flood of touring announcements. While only three notable rock and metal tours were unveiled during the holiday week, there were still some significant updates that surfaced in the past seven days, capturing the attention of fans and industry insiders alike.

The standout announcement this week comes from Julien-K, as they prepare to embark on a tour alongside Vampires Everywhere and Priest in January, promising an electrifying experience for all attendees.

In addition to Julien-K’s tour, major developments include the Eagles expanding their highly successful residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas. Furthermore, Municipal Waste and The Sword have revealed special one-off performances, while the lineup for the 2025 Punk Rock Bowling festival, led by Social Distortion, has also been announced.
