This run follows earlier phases of their world tour, which has already taken in stops across Asia, Australia and mainland Europe, and brings the band right back to fans across the British Isles.
What Fans Can Expect
Papa Roach have spent more than two decades building their reputation as one of rock’s most intense live acts. With hits like “Last Resort,” “Scars” and “She Loves Me Not,” their shows are a mix of high-energy rock and emotional anthems.
This Rise Of The Roach tour continues that tradition, pairing new music like “Wake Up Calling” with long-standing favourites from across their catalogue. The band have hinted they’ll have a few surprises in store for fans along the way, and seeing them headline arenas, including Glasgow’s OVO Hydro and London’s The O2, makes this one of their most significant UK runs yet.
Ticket Info & On-Sale Dates
Tickets for the UK and Ireland shows will go on sale Friday, 13 February at 10 AM local time.
Before then, presale options (including artist and credit-card presales) are expected to start in the days leading up to general sale, a good move if you’re aiming for the best seats. With Papa Roach’s live shows known for selling out fast, it’s worth registering for alerts and marking your calendar in advance.
Why This Tour Matters
This UK & Ireland run sits within a bigger global campaign for Papa Roach, spanning arenas in multiple regions and following strong fan response to previous legs of the Rise Of The Roach tour.
For many fans, it’s a chance to see the band live again in full headline mode, and in some places, this will be their biggest shows in years. With emotional depth in their newer material alongside the raw energy of their classic hits, this tour is shaping up to be a highlight of the rock calendar in 2026.
Smart Ticket Tips
Sign up for presales: Early access can make a difference, especially for popular dates like Glasgow, Manchester and London.
Check multiple presale windows: Artist, venue and partner presales can all open at slightly different times.
Act quickly on general sale: Arena shows like these often move fast once they’re live on the main platform.
Consider adjacent dates: If your first choice sells out, nearby cities in the tour run may still have inventory.
The Bottom Line
Papa Roach’s Rise Of The Roach UK & Ireland tour brings one of rock’s most enduring live acts back to major arenas this autumn. With six dates across Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales, and tickets on sale from 13 February, demand is expected to be strong. Fans old and new alike will want to be ready when tickets drop.
