Papa Roach have added a new Liverpool date to their 2025 ‘Infest’ anniversary tour due to high demand.
The US rock band are due to celebrate 25 years of their breakthrough album with a string of European and UK dates on their ‘Rise Of The Roach Tour’ next year, including a huge London show.
In addition to planned concerts at London’s Ovo Arena Wembley on February 7 and the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham February 8, the band have now added an extra date at the M&S Bank Arena, Liverpool on February 9.

“The UK has spoken in a big way, so we had to listen,” said frontman Jacoby Shaddix in a press statement. “We are overwhelmed by this support – these shows are going to be legendary.”
Special Guests Wage War will perform as support across all UK dates. The band are also partnering with suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) for the UK dates, with a £1 donation included on every ticket.
Papa Roach’s 2025 UK ‘Rise Of The Roach Tour’ dates are:
FEBRUARY
7 – London, Ovo Arena, Wembley
8 – Nottingham, Motorpoint Arena
9 – Liverpool, M&S Bank Arena [NEW]
The Californian band will also be visiting Hamburg, Warsaw, Vienna, Prague, Düsseldorf, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris before their UK dates.
Their campaign with CALM follows previous efforts to raise money for suicide prevention by appearing on TV game show Family Feud and releasing a new song with Carrie Underwood.
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.
Last year, the band celebrated a track from the iconic ‘Infest’ album by selling ‘Cut My Life Into Pizza’ cutters and new home goods.
Papa Roach are currently working on their 12th studio album, which will be released by the band’s own label New Noize Records some time next year.
