The concert industry is busier than ever and fans will have plenty of metal and hard rock tours to choose from in 2024, with many more to be announced in the coming weeks and months.
No matter your taste in heavy music, there is something for you in terms of upcoming shows. Classic metal fans can go out and see Metallica, Judas Priest or Pantera, while those who listened to mainstream rock radio in the late '90s and early '00s can listen to Godsmack, Disturbed, Limp Bizkit or a reunited Creed.
If punk rock is your thing, you're covered with Green Day's stadium tour or artists like Social Distortion, Bad Religion, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly. And industrial devotees can watch Ministry supported by Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly.
Are none of those acts extreme enough for you? Don't worry, as Amon Amarth will join Cannibal Corpse and Obituary, while Cattle Decapitation and Carnifex will team up for a joint headlining tour.
And if your definition of “heavy” runs the gamut, then there are artists like Chelsea Wolfe, Sleep Token, and ††† (Crosses) to satisfy your eclectic taste in music.
Meanwhile, if you want to end up leaving a show like you've been through a bloody battle, you can always catch a GWAR concert.
So, without further ado, below are 30 of the most anticipated metal and hard rock tours of 2024.
