The tour marks a significant milestone as the two legendary rock bands unite for their first-ever outing together. The uniquely curated tour will see the biggest production from Papa Roach to date, as well as two distinct modern rock heavyweights in Papa Roach and Rise Against, with some of the biggest hits in the genre performed on one stage. Both acts are celebrating 25th anniversaries, as Papa Roach will celebrate 25 years of their debut album INFEST with iconic tracks and fan-favorite deep cuts from their entire catalog, In comparison, Rise Against who also hit the 25-year mark since their formation, will be unleashing fan favorites and hits from their revered catalogue.

“We can’t wait to bring the Rise Of The Roach Tour to North America next year,” shares Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix. “Rise Against are legends in their own right, and will bring another dynamic to this tour.  With both our bands celebrating our 25+ year legacy and deep catalogs, we are truly blessed to be able to put this show in front of fans.”

Tim McIlrath of Rise Against added, “After crossing paths with Papa Roach countless times over the years, we’re stoked to finally team up and put our bands together on the same stage and our fans together in the same room. With the welcome addition of our old friends Underoath, this will be the best damn tour of 2025. See you soon!”

Papa Roach are two-time Grammy^®-nominated, Platinum^®-selling leaders in alternative hard rock music, who in 2025 will celebrate the 25th anniversary of their iconic album INFEST. Papa Roach, who have recently called attention to the cause of suicide prevention with “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)” with Carrie Underwood are not unfamiliar with calling attention to mental health and have been doing so since the seminal release of their first hit-single “Last Resort.”

Since then, the band has gone on to create 10 studio albums, their most recent Ego Trip on their own label New Noize Records. Ego Trip has garnered over 850 million global streams to date and has produced four No. 1 singles bringing the band’s total to 26 career top 10 hits, and 12 career No. 1’s. Papa Roach’s Rise of the Roach Tour originally announced in UK and Europe and selling out venues such as London’s famed Wembley Arena, now continues throughout North America in 2025.

Hailing from Chicago, Rise Against has been heralded by NME as “maybe the most important punk band on the planet.” The multi-Gold and Platinum group is comprised of vocalist/guitarist Tim McIlrath, bassist/vocalist Joe Principe, lead guitarist/vocalist, Zach Blair and drummer Brandon Barnes. They have seven top 50 records on the Billboard 200 chart, five of which reached the top 10. Rise Against’s albums have touched on a spectrum of vital issues including voting rights, LGBTQ rights, animal rights and environmental causes. They are also known for their wholehearted engagement with fans, whether in an explosive live show setting or on record.

The band’s most recent album, Nowhere Generation, shone a spotlight on the social and economic deck that has been stacked against the younger generations’ pursuit of the American dream. Debuting in June 2021 at the top of multiple Billboard charts, its title track also reached No. 1 at rock radio. As a one-year anniversary celebration of the LP, in June 2022 Rise Against surprise dropped a five-strong EP, Nowhere Generation II – a propulsive, five-song follow-up that served to continue a critical dialogue between the band, their fans and the world at large. After spending the better part of 2023 and 2024 in the studio, the band is primed for an exciting year in 2025.
