Heavy Metal And Rock Tour List : Where To Go In 2024.

While this list isn’t even close to the number of great bands out there this fall, it will give you a head start on the live music season.

As Autumn’s cooler weather settles in this year, the heavy metal and rock world is heating up with a slate of explosive tours. Titans like Megadeth and Queensryche are set to ignite stages across the nation, while progressive rock legends YES prove that the spirit of rock knows no age. This fall’s lineup of heavy metal concerts promises to satiate even the most discerning headbangers and prog enthusiasts alike.

Metal devotees are already marking their calendars with tour dates, eager to experience the sonic assault of Dave Mustaine’s blistering riffs, Celtic punk artists Dropkick Murphys, and the nu metal edge of Incubus. Dive in and find out the most exciting, must-see metal-mayhem of the season:
