ABOUT PAPA ROACH
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 has recently called attention to the cause of Suicide Prevention with “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark) with pop-country superstar Carrie Underwood, is not unfamiliar with calling attention to Mental Health and has been doing so since the seminal release of their first hit-single“Last Resort.” Since then, the band has created ten studio albums, their most recent being 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 across Rock, Alternative, and Hot AC. Papa Roach’s Rise of the Roach tour was originally announced in the UK and Europe, and selling out venues including London’s famed Wembley Arena now continues throughout North America in 2025
ABOUT RISE AGAINST
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.
