From heavyweights in black metal to indie rockers and emo titans, a dynamic array of tours is underway this summer and fall, promising memorable experiences for fans.

    The metal scene remains robust, with Los Angeles-based black metallers Agriculture continuing their momentum by supporting The Spiritual Sound on tour. They are gearing up for a new phase, announcing an upcoming round of shows in the West Coast and Midwest US featuring Uniform and Pure Hex.

    The hardcore scene is also connecting across the continent. Milwaukee’s World I Hate teamed up with Chicago’s Contempt for East Coast shows in August, including a highly anticipated stop at Gold Sounds in Brooklyn.

    A beloved group, Have Heart, is reuniting to celebrate two decades of their work by bringing a few special shows this fall dedicated to The Things We Carry.

    The indie and alternative landscape is equally vibrant. Pinkshift is commemorating five years of their debut EP, Saccharine, with a summer tour that includes an appearance at TV Eye on August 26 in New York City.

    On the rock front, Irish indie rockers Florence Road are embarking on their first-ever North American headlining tour this fall. Their journey will include a major stop at the Bowery Ballroom in New York on September 28.

    The emo and scene bands are also making significant moves. The Las Vegas emo band The Ritornello Form, having just released their debut album Majority Rule, is launching their first full headlining tour.

    Petey USA is set to preview new music at a series of intimate US shows this summer, including a notable appearance at The Sultan Room in New York on August 20.

    Finally, there are moments dedicated to cinematic musical legacies. John Cameron Mitchell continues his tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of his film Hedwig and the Angry Inch, offering audiences screenings complete with acoustic performances and Q&As.
