Papa Roach

Papa Roach is an American rock band from Vacaville, California, formed in 1993. The lineup consists of vocalist Jacoby Shaddix, guitarist Jerry Horton, bassist Tobin Esperance, and drummer Tony Palermo. Blending genres like nu metal, alternative rock, and hard rock, they rose to fame with their breakthrough album Infest (2000), which cemented their place among modern rock icons.

In 2025, they’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of Infest with a special world tour titled Rise of the Roach Tour. The tour kicked off with nearly sold-out shows across Europe—Hamburg, Düsseldorf, London—and continues with a North American leg featuring Rise Against and support from Underoath. The spring tour began on March 20 in Houston and ran through the end of April, while the fall leg takes place in September and October.

Their concerts are known for high energy and fan-favorite hits like Last Resort, Between Angels and Insects, and Infest, alongside new material. In January 2025, they released the single Even If It Kills Me, which became an official WWE theme and coincided with their European tour. Guitarist Jerry Horton recently revealed that new songs are nearly finished, hinting at the release of their twelfth studio album.
