Papa Roach & Rise Against w/ Underoath
Rise of the Roach Tour
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 #1 singles bringing the band’s total to 26 career Top-10
hits, and 12 career #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, Illinois, Rise Against has been heralded by NME as “maybe the most
important punk band on the planet.” The multi-Gold and Platinum group (lead
vocalist/guitarist Tim McIlrath, bassist/vocalist Joe Principe, lead guitarist/vocalist Zach
Blair, drummer Brandon Barnes) has had 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,
and they’re 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 (Loma
Vista Recordings), shone a spotlight on the social and economical 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 (including #1 on Rock), its title track also
reached to #1 at Rock radio. As a one year anniversary celebration of the LP, in June 2022
Rise Against surprise dropped a five-song 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.
