Papa Roach have confirmed a run of arena dates across the UK and Ireland, with full details of the tour available below.
The nu metal veterans will launch their ‘Rise Of The Roach’ tour at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on November 1 before wrapping up at Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on November 9. The schedule also includes a major stop at London’s The O2. Tickets will go on general sale at 10am GMT this Friday February 13 and can be bought here, while a presale opens at 10am GMT on Wednesday February 11 via this link.
The announcement follows a run of UK shows last year, which saw the band present a £20,000 donation to mental health charity CALM ahead of a sold out London date. They will once again support the organisation on this tour, with £1 from every ticket sold going towards the charity.
Discussing why the issue continues to be so important to the band, frontman Jacoby Shaddix previously told NME: “ We’ve been singing about it since the beginning. Our first song, ‘Last Resort’ was about a cry for help. It’s always been part of our story and a part of my life. I’ve had my own highs and lows and I’ve come to an understanding of how to grapple with it. I know the darkness, and by putting it into my music it’s connected me with so many thousands upon thousands of people.
“Every day that I’m on tour, I’ll meet somebody who will tell me these exact words: ‘Your music saved my life.’ That wasn’t our intention when we started the music, but the more open and honest I got with the songs, the more I realised that I wasn’t alone in my struggle.”
Looking ahead to the upcoming dates, Shaddix added: “To say that we were humbled by the response to the first leg of the ‘Rise Of The Roach’ UK tour would be an understatement. All of us are excited to return to the UK and Ireland to play more cities with a few surprises in store for fans.”
Papa Roach have also unveiled a brand new single titled ‘Wake Up Calling’, which you can listen to below.
The track follows their 2025 release ‘Even If It Kills Me’, which marked their first new music in three years at the time.
