OZZY OSBOURNE HEADLINING ROCKLAHOMA

Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell tour has expanded once again, as he was just announced as one of the headliners for Rocklahoma, which goes down May 24-26. The lineup also Ace Frehley, and… not much else worth talking about. More info here.

SONIC TEMPLE – COMEDY/SPOKEN WORD LINEUP

Speaking of hard rock festivals, the much more appealing Sonic Temple (Foo Fighters, System of a Down, Ghost, Joan Jett, The Distillers, The Hives, Refused, Mark Lanegan, more) has announced the lineup for the comedy & spoken word tent, which includes Henry Rollins, Tom Morello, Pussy Riot’s Nadya, Andrew Dice Clay, Pauly Shore, and more.

DAUGHTERS (new openers announced)

While Daughters gear up for their tour, they’re keeping the anticipation high with the release of the NSFW video for “Less Sex” off last year’s excellent comeback album You Won’t Get What You Want. UPDATE: Blanck Mass was supposed to open this tour but sadly had to drop off due to a death in the family, and he was replaced by Wolf Eyes, Cult Leader, Gouge Away, and HIDE on select dates. No new opener announced for NYC (yet?). Updated schedule here.

ARIANA GRANDE

Now that Ariana Grande is headlining Coachella, she had to postpone some of the April dates on her tour for July. The four NYC shows (6/14 & 6/15 at Barclays Center, 6/18 & 6/19 at MSG) are unaffected. Updated dates here. Also, Variety reports that multiple sources tell them Ariana is booked to headline Lollapalooza.

DEAFHEAVEN / GOJIRA

Deafheaven and Gojira are the two metal bands playing Bonnaroo 2019, and they’ve now announced three North Carolina shows together happening right before that festival. Deafheaven also have their co-headlining tour with Baroness coming up, and Gojira (who are expected to release a new album this year) have a few other festival dates (Sonic Temple, Chicago Open Air, Hellfest).

BLAQK AUDIO

Blaqk Audio, the synthpop side project of AFI’s Davey Havok and Jade Puget, are releasing a new album this year and supporting it on a tour that includes NYC shows on April 1 at Bowery Ballroom and April 2 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. All dates here.

HOT TUNA

Having recently announced 75th birthday shows for bassist Jack Casady happening in NJ and NYC, jam vets Hot Tuna have now added a run of Electric Hot Tuna shows for August and September. Some are with The David Bromberg Quintet (including Port Chester’s Capitol Theatre on 8/15 and Asbury Park’s Paramount Theatre on 8/16), and some are with Traffic’s Dave Mason (including Long Island’s Theatre at Westbury on 8/17 and New Haven’s College Street Music Hall on 8/20). All dates here.

DENT MAY

Snazzy dresser and yacht rock lover Dent May just released a new single where he covers Leon Ware’s “Why I Came to California.” Appropriately enough, Dent will be on an all-California tour this month, hitting Costa Mesa, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Palm Springs and Los Angeles. All dates are listed here.

ACTIVE BIRD COMMUNITY / WILD PINK / THE OBSESSIVES

NYC indie rockers Active Bird Community (who released their Barsuk debut Amends last year) are currently on a short US tour with their labelmates Charly Bliss, and they’ll head to Europe/the UK afterwards for dates with Slothrust. After coming home, they’ll play a just-announced one-off at Bowery Ballroom on 3/2 with their heartland rock-ish neighbors Wild Pink (who released Yolk in the Fur on Tiny Engines last year) and Philly indie-punks The Obsessives. Tickets go on sale Friday (1/18) at noon with a Citi presale starting Tuesday (1/15) at 10 AM. All Active Bird Community dates here.

WHITECHAPEL / DYING FETUS / REVOCATION / more

Whitechapel and Dying Fetus are co-headlining the 2019 Chaos & Carnage Tour, and there’s support from a bunch of bands including Revocation (who released the very solid The Outer Ones last year). The tour begins at NJ’s Starland Ballroom on April 18, before hitting Cleveland, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, and more. All dates here.

JAWBOX

Post-hardcore greats Jawbox are finally back and announced a reunion tour, which will be their first tour in over 20 years (and first time playing together since playing Fallon in 2009).

TURNSTILE / TURNOVER

The similarly named (but very different sounding) Turnstile and Turnover are touring together around the same time they both play Coachella.

BALANCE & COMPOSURE with TIGERS JAW, TOUCHE AMORE, MEWITHOUTYOU & more

Balance & Composure announced their final tour, and they’ll be joined by their friends Tigers Jaw, Touche Amore, mewithoutYou, and other bands TBA at select dates.
