Papa Roach and Rise Against will join forces to embark on the first North American legs of the Rise of The Roach tour in the spring and fall.
Both acts are celebrating 25th anniversaries.
Papa Roach will celebrate 25 years of their debut album, Infest, with iconic tracks and fan-favorite deep cuts from their entire catalog.
Rise Against, who have also hit the 25-year mark since their formation, will be unleashing fan favorites and hits from their revered catalog.
“We can’t wait to bring the Rise of The Roach tour to North America next year,” Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix said in a press release.
“Rise Against are legends in their own right and will bring another dynamic to this tour. With both our bands celebrating our 25-plus-year legacy and deep catalogs, we are truly blessed to be able to put this show in front of fans.”
Check the tour out Sept. 23 at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Sept. 26 at Everwise Amphitheater in Indianapolis, Sept. 27 at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Chicago, or Sept. 28 at Royal Oak Music Theatre in Detroit.
Underoath will open the shows.
Moyet returns to The States
English singer Alison Moyet has announced that she will return to North America for her Key Live 2025 tour, in support of her latest album Key, released in October.
“I consider myself ridiculously fortunate to be able to say ‘I will’ rather than ‘I remember when,’ ” she said in a press release. “So, as I tell you I am returning to North America imminently to perform again for whomsoever may care, and that I am beyond delighted by this brilliant fact, you can take me at my convoluted word.”
Well, she seems excited about the upcoming trek, and I am sure many of her fans will be excited as well when she stops at Saint Andrew’s Hall in Detroit on May 6 and The Vic Theatre in Chicago the following night.
