Diesel Boy Announces More 2026 Tour Dates Celebrating 30 Years of Cock Rock
California skate punk veterans Diesel Boy have announced a new round of July tour dates as part of their ongoing 2026 touring plans, celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Cock Rock. The newly announced shows follow the band’s June West Coast run, with additional fall tour dates still to be revealed. Tickets on sale here. Check out the tour promo video here, and listen to Cock Rock here.
At every stop, Diesel Boy will perform Cock Rock in its entirety for the first time, alongside fan favorites and selections spanning the band’s catalog. The anniversary run offers longtime fans a rare full-album experience while introducing a new generation to the band’s melodic, high-energy blend of humor and skate punk.
Diesel Boy — Dave Lake (vocals/guitar), Greg Hensley (bass), Jack Miller (guitar), and Paul Davis (drums) originally formed in Northern California and became staples of the punk scene through releases on Fat Wreck Chords imprint Honest Don’s Records.
“Ah, the ’90s. Wallet chains, long sideburns, giant pant legs,” says founding member Dave Lake. “Cock Rock was our first record, the first release on Fat Wreck imprint Honest Don’s, and, we’d argue, the first in the hearts of many of our fans. Not enough firsts? These shows will also be the first time we’ve ever played it front to back.”
After more than two decades away, the band returned in 2023 with Gets Old, earning some of the strongest reviews of their career. The comeback sparked extensive touring throughout the US and Europe, including appearances at Punk Rock Holiday, Brakrock, Pouzza, Red Bridge, and more. Now celebrating 30 years of Cock Rock, Diesel Boy continues to bridge generations of punk fans while embracing a new chapter for the band.
