Jason Newsted Is Touring Again — 18 Dates Across the U.S.

 Introduction

Jason Newsted is officially returning to the road with The Chophouse Band for an 18‑date U.S. tour running from July 1st through July 25th. This is the first time Jason has committed to a full tour since 2014, when he stepped back from the NEWSTED project due to the cost of touring. The Chophouse Band has existed since 1992, usually playing charity and benefit shows, but this run is a full nationwide stretch. The music ranges from folk and jazz to Americana and even some heavy moments. Jason also mentioned he has new music ready to perform live. The 2026 lineup includes Jesse Farnsworth, Jimbo Hart, Humberto Perez, and Robert John‑Tucker.

Ashes of Ares is on tour with their new album The New Messiah , and Matt Barlow is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Dark Saga .
