Tickets are set to go on sale later this week

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.

A London concert recorded in 1994 by The Cranberries, which was previously thought to be lost, will soon receive its first official release.

Titled ‘The Cranberries: Live At The London Astoria II, 1994’, the recently discovered recording captures the group performing at the now closed London venue. The concert included nine tracks from their celebrated album ‘No Need To Argue’, which arrived later in 1994 and included the hugely successful single ‘Zombie’.

The release contains 15 intimate live recordings in total. Several songs from the band’s 1993 debut album ‘Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?’ also appear on the collection, such as ‘Pretty’, ‘Linger’ and ‘Dreams’.

Fans will be able to purchase the recording as a 2xLP Limited Edition Molten Lava Vinyl, standard black vinyl or CD. It will also arrive on digital platforms on September 4 through Island/UMe. Preorders and presaves are available here.

Drummer Fergal Lawler recalled the excitement surrounding the performance, saying: “It was such a buzz playing in The Astoria. We had returned from the US and taken a bit of time off for Christmas. This was our first concert back in London after achieving such success in America. We were delighted to see a few of our hardcore fans at the front of the stage, I think we felt proud that all our hard work had finally come to fruition.”

Singer Dolores O’Riordan died at a London hotel in 2018. An inquest later found that she had accidentally drowned in a bath after becoming intoxicated by alcohol.

The group’s popular song ‘Linger’ was also recently heard in the Apple TV adaptation of Cape Fear.

Javier Bardem plays Max Cady in the newest interpretation of the famous psychological thriller, which originated with John D. MacDonald’s 1957 novel The Executioners.

Cady is a violent former prisoner who remains completely unrepentant. Following his release, he begins pursuing Tom and Anna Bowden, portrayed by Patrick Wilson and Amy Adams, seeking revenge against the couple who represented him in court 17 years earlier.

Cape Fear has previously inspired two widely praised movies. J. Lee Thompson directed the 1962 adaptation starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, while Martin Scorsese directed the 1991 version featuring Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte.

The tracklisting for ‘The Cranberries: Live At The London Astoria II, 1994’ is:

‘Pretty’
‘Dreaming My Dreams’
‘Linger’
‘Ridiculous Thoughts’
‘Daffodil Lament’
‘How’
‘Everything I Said’
‘Not Sorry’
‘Waltzing Back’
‘Dreams’
‘Zombie’
‘Liar’
‘So Cold In Ireland’
‘Empty’
‘Still Can’t…’
