If You Thought Only Toronto Gets the Big Gigs — Think Again!
Hard rock and emo fans on the West Coast, this one’s for you. Papa Roach, The Used, and Sleep Theory are teaming up for a killer Canadian tour — and guess what? Vancouver’s the first stop!
The Rise of the Roach Tour promises a string of legendary shows across Canadian cities, marking Papa Roach’s 25th anniversary and their most consecutive Canadian dates in nearly a decade.
“This is the most stacked lineup we’ve ever brought your way, and we’re beyond stoked to hit cities we haven’t played in years,” said Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix in a release. “This is going to be a night you won’t want to miss!”
The Used’s Bert McCracken chimed in too, saying, “It’s been a long time coming and we can’t wait to see you there!”
The tour originally kicked off in Europe this January before rolling through the U.S., and thankfully, Canada’s finally on the map. Other bands, take notes — adding some stops in Canada wouldn’t hurt, at least while you’re waiting for those visas to clear. 👀

Most Important Part: Get Those Tickets!
The Ticketmaster madness begins May 2 at 10 a.m. local time. Set those alarms, load up your caffeine, and get in line early. And listen up — use only one device while in the queue! Ticketmaster’s system might kick you out if it detects multiple devices logged in under your name.
Bonus good news: $1 from every ticket sold will go towards suicide prevention organizations in each province, supporting awareness for the national crisis helpline 9-8-8 Canada.
With so many incredible bands adding Canadian stops on theit tours, who do you think is next?
