Papa Roach & Rise Against at FirstBank Amphitheater

Rise of the Roach Tour

ONLY FOUR concerts left beginning this October! Papa Roach, Rise Against, and guest band Underoath have swept through thirty North American cities on the “Rise of the Roach” Tour, a milestone Live Nation production celebrating their twenty-five years in rock music. After Arkansas, the crew will hit Tennessee on October 1st, 2025, unleashing utter mayhem at the FirstBank Amphitheater.

“It’s unbelievable how these two groups have never collaborated before. They’re like the two sides of a coin — distinctive takes on heavy hard rock that share the same adrenaline-crazed head-pounding frequency that made the 2000s so memorable. Absolutely a must-see show.”

The dawn of the 21st century broke alongside Papa Roach’s sophomore album, Infest (2000). Now, they’re commemorating it with a nationwide chain reaction of explosive performances, featuring the record’s number-one Alternative Airplay song “Last Resort,” top ten hit “Broken Home,” and indelible tracks/singles such as “Blood Brothers” and “Dead Cell.” Moreover, the three-time GRAMMY Award-nominated band will include many of the classics in the decades between Lovehatetragedy (2002) and Ego Trip (2022). RIAA multi-platinum-sellers “Scars” and “Getting Away with Murder.” Mainstream Rock chart-toppers like “Kill the Noise.” Anticipate it all and MORE, including their most recent banger — “Even If It Kills Me!”

On the opposite side of the coalition is Chicago-based quartet Rise Against, representing the melodic hardcore/punk revival rebels since 1999. Uprooted from the underground into MTV popularity, this group packs a corrosive catalog of the most acidic, face-melting bangers from The Unraveling (2001) until Nowhere Generation (2021) and its 2022 EP-length sequel. They tease such Gold/Platinum tracks as “Swing Life Away,” “Prayer of the Refugee,” “Savior,” and “Re-Education (Through Labor)” across a series of critically underrated and Billboard Top 10 albums, not to mention Rock chart classics on the caliber of “Satellite” and “The Violence.”

Underoath (“All The Love Is Gone,” “Loss,” “Writing on the Walls”) opens. Tapped as Rise of the Roach’s tenured guest, this Floridian heavy metalcore act delivers intensity in spades (enough to make the FirstBank Amphitheater acres tremble). Papa Roach & Rise Against are THRILLED to duke it out in one of Tennessee's most sought-after outdoor hotspots. The venue, in turn, will bolster the event with unmatched acoustics, atmospheric lighting, and natural sceneries that instill breathtaking, wide-eyed wonder. Get your tickets NOW!
