AceShowbiz - Papa Roach has officially unveiled their plans for an exciting arena tour across the UK and Ireland, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. Here are all the essential details you need to know.
The legendary nu-metal band will kick off their highly anticipated ‘Rise Of The Roach’ tour at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on November 1, 2026. The tour will wrap up at Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on November 9, 2026, with a notable stop at London’s iconic The O2 in between. Tickets for this exhilarating tour will go on sale at 10am GMT this Friday, February 13, and can be purchased here. Additionally, an exclusive presale will take place at 10am GMT on Wednesday, February 11, available here.
This tour announcement follows the band’s successful UK tour last year, during which they presented a generous £20,000 donation to the CALM mental health charity prior to their sold-out London show. In a continued effort to support mental health initiatives, they will donate £1 from each ticket sold during the upcoming tour.
In a previous interview with NME, frontman Jacoby Shaddix spoke candidly about the significance of mental health themes in their music. He stated: “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.”
Shaddix continued, “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 realized that I wasn’t alone in my struggle.”
Regarding the upcoming tour, he expressed his gratitude: “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.”
In addition to the tour announcement, Papa Roach has released a new single titled ‘Wake Up Calling,’ which fans can listen to below. This latest track follows their previous release, ‘Even If It Kills Me,’ which marked their first new music in three years.
