Papa Roach have announced a 2025 European tour, billed the ‘Rise Of The Roach Tour’, which culminates in a headline show in London.
The tour is set to celebrate 25 years of their breakthrough album ‘Infest’, which featured fan favourites like ‘Last Resort’, ‘Broken Home’ and ‘Between Angels & Insects’.
In a video posted to X/Twitter, Jacoby Shaddix promised fans: “It’s gonna be fucking banging y’all, see you out there.”

The Californian band will visit Hamburg, Warsaw, Vienna, Prague, Düsseldorf, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris before their London date.
Marking their only UK appearance, they will headline at the OVO Arena Wembley on February 7 next year.
In a statement on Blabbermouth, Shaddix shared the band’s excitement, saying: “The UK has always been special to us – so we wanted to celebrate this music with you all in a BIG way and I can’t wait to step on that stage.”
There are still special guests and a DJ set to be announced for the tour, and tickets for all dates go on general sale at 10am BST / 11am CEST on Friday (July 5). You can find tickets here.
The band have also partnered up with Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), and their London date will support the suicide prevention charity, with a £1 donation included on every ticket.
Shaddix opened up about his mental health in 2021, and discussed “falling off the wagon” during the pandemic. “I just got caught up and depressed and just stuck in this space,” he said at the time. “And I wasn’t working an active program of recovery, and I found myself with a joint in my mouth, you know? And yeah, it’s legal in California, and yes, it is medicine to some people, but it’s not to me.
“Anytime I put any kind of mind-altering substance in my body, there’s this veil that gets dropped on me and just kind of isolates me from the world, isolates me from the potential of who I can become and puts me in a space of inaction. And that’s not a good place for me to be.”

Last year, the band celebrated a track from the iconic ‘Infest’ album by selling ‘Cut My Life Into Pizza’ cutters and new home goods. Riffing on the ‘Last Resort’ lyric “cut my life into pieces” from the hit track, the cutter was one of several homeware items the band released in their new ‘Broken Home Goods’ collection.
