Des Rocs is hitting the road in support of his latest album, with stops in Amityville and Philadelphia this January.
If rock and roll is supposed to be loud, sweaty, and just a little dangerous, somebody clearly remembered to tell Des Rocs.
The New York rocker has announced his To Hell and Back Tour, bringing his explosive live show across the country throughout December 2026 and January 2027.
The run follows the release of his third studio album, To Hell and Back, which arrived June 12 through Sumerian Records.
BIG SOUND. SMALL ROOMS.
Des Rocs has built a reputation for delivering the kind of live performance that makes you question whether the venue is structurally prepared for what’s happening onstage.
Blending gritty guitar riffs, massive hooks, and a healthy dose of rock and roll swagger, he’s managed to create something that feels familiar without sounding like another nostalgia act.
His latest album doubles down on that approach.
Produced by Joe Chiccarelli and recorded live in New York City with his longtime bandmates, To Hell and Back captures the raw energy that has become a defining part of the Des Rocs sound.
Tracks like “The Juice,” “This Land,” and “When the Love Is Gone” should feel particularly at home in a live setting.
And fortunately, he’s bringing that energy to some relatively intimate venues.
TWO SHOWS FOR OUR CORNER OF THE WORLD
For those of us in New Jersey and the surrounding area, there are two dates worth circling.
Thursday, January 14, 2027
Amityville Music Hall, Amityville, NY
Friday, January 15, 2027
Underground Arts, Philadelphia, PA
The tour also stops in Baltimore on January 16, giving fans another nearby opportunity to catch the show.
We’re still waiting for a New York City date. If he doesn’t wrap up the tour at home, we’re going to be super sad, and honestly, we’re not sure we’ll ever truly get over it.
Joining Des Rocs on the January dates are special guests Andy Darling and Elm Garden.
There’s something refreshing about an artist capable of delivering an arena sized performance choosing to bring that same intensity into smaller rooms.
No massive video screens required. Just loud guitars, a crowd willing to get involved, and hopefully a venue with a decent insurance policy.
TO HELL AND BACK
The album may be called To Hell and Back, but judging by the tour announcement, Des Rocs has every intention of bringing the audience along for the ride.
And if you’re looking for a rock show that prioritizes energy over elaborate production, this could be one of the more interesting nights on the early 2027 calendar.
Tickets and additional tour information are available through the official Des Rocs website.
Earplugs recommended.
Standing still, not so much.
