Read Time 3 Minutes

Got that itch to go to a concert again? Just bored and looking to kill some time? All of the above?
Well I’ve gone and done you a favor and compiled a list of various bands who happen to be going out on tour here soon (or have just hit the road to begin a tour in some cases). Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Kindness that matches these dashing good looks. What can I say? No need to thank me. I’m just doing my job.
No I’m not going to recite every last location each band is hitting. I’ll give the start date and the end date and just sort of leave it to you to check and see if they’re swinging by your neck of the woods. Also, because I’m lazy I’ve only specified countries if it wasn’t exclusively a USA tour, so if it’s blank it’s American. All in a day’s work.
