The band will be hitting SXSW before kicking off a tour in the Midwest and East Coast in March, April and May. A West Coast tour will hit in the summer. The band has also re–issued three of the band's most popular albums, Rock 'N' Roll Juggernaut, We're The Meatmen And You Still Suck! and Pope On A Rope. Later this year, the band will reissue War of the Superbikes 2.

In May the band will be releasing The Devil's In The Details Vol 1, a DVD chronicling the band's live legacy and Tesco's TV show will be out in May. This will be followed by the the band's first new recording in 12 years, The Meatmen Cover The Earth which will include Tesco's favorite songs from the past 40 years.
