Buckcherry and Black Stone Cherry have dubbed their co-headlining run the Wild Cherry Tour — both bands have “Cherry” in the name, and they’re leaning into it — and the August 31 stop at the Aztec Theatre brings Tyler Bryant along as the third act. This is the closing stretch of Buckcherry’s Roar Like Thunder touring cycle. Guitarist Stevie D. has said new album writing begins this fall, which makes this run genuinely the end of the road for this record.
About Buckcherry
Buckcherry has been at it since 1995, formed by Josh Todd and Keith Nelson in Anaheim, California. Todd is the only original member still in the band. The current lineup — Stevie Dacanay and Billy Rowe on guitars, Kelly LeMieux on bass, Francis Ruiz on drums — cut Roar Like Thunder, the band’s eleventh album, at Sienna Studios in Nashville with Marti Frederiksen producing. Released June 13, 2025 on Round Hill Records, it’s what the band calls “pure, uncut rock” — AC/DC-influenced, unpolished by design, and reviewed at 8.5 out of 10 by The Rockpit. “Crazy Bitch,” the 2006 rock chart-topper, is still the crowd moment — the band knows it and leans on it. With writing for the next record starting this fall, these final dates are worth catching before the cycle closes out entirely.
About Black Stone Cherry
Black Stone Cherry formed in Edmonton, Kentucky in June 2001. Drummer John Fred Young is the son of Kentucky Headhunters guitarist Richard Young, and the band came up rehearsing in the Headhunters’ own practice space — that lineage runs through the music. It’s hard rock with a Southern pull: traces of rockabilly and folk-country underneath the distortion, brooding in places, heavy in others. Their most recent full-length is 2023’s Screamin’ at the Sky; the EP Celebrate dropped in March 2026. Seventeen charted singles on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. They belong at the top of this bill.

About the Aztec Theatre
The Aztec Theatre is at 104 N. St. Mary’s St. in downtown San Antonio — a 1,477-capacity theater and one of the premier rock rooms in Texas. It’s an appropriate room for a double-headliner of this scale: enough capacity to feel like an event, tight enough that the floor still has some energy to it.
