The nu-metal pioneers will kick off their ‘Rise Of The Roach’ jaunt at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on November 1 through to Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on November 9, with a stop at London’s The O2 along the way. Tickets go on sale at 10am GMT this Friday (February 13) and can be purchased here. A presale will also be held at 10am GMT on Wednesday (February 11) here.
It comes after they completed a series of UK tour dates last year, which included presenting a £20,000 cheque to the CALM mental health charity ahead of their massive sold-out London show. They will be supporting the charity again in November, with a £1 donation per ticket.
Previously speaking to NME about why the topic remains so close to their heart, frontman Jacoby Shaddix shared: “ 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.”
Speaking about the forthcoming tour he said: “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 shared a new single ‘Wake Up Calling’, which you can listen to below.
It follows their 2025 single ‘Even If It Kills Me’ which marked their first new music in three years at the time.
