Papa Roach: Rise of the Roach

American alternative rock band Papa Roach return to Rotterdam on Wednesday 11 November 2026 with their Rise of the Roach Tour. Taking over RTM Stage at Rotterdam Ahoy, the band bring decades of nu metal and hard rock anthems to the stage, joined by French metalcore outfit LANDMVRKS and American rock newcomers Sleep Theory.

Formed in California in 1993, Papa Roach became international stars with their breakthrough album Infest in 2000. Its iconic single Last Resort helped define the nu metal era, while subsequent hits such as Scars, Getting Away with Murder and Lifeline demonstrated the band's ability to move between alternative metal, hard rock and melodic songwriting.

Fronted by Jacoby Shaddix, Papa Roach remain an energetic live act, combining familiar hits with newer material. Their 2026 European festival appearances included a memorable performance at Rock am Ring, where the band made a dramatic entrance by helicopter before performing to an enormous crowd.

Support from LANDMVRKS and Sleep Theory

French metalcore band LANDMVRKS bring their combination of aggressive breakdowns, melodic vocals and hardcore influences to the evening. The Marseille-based group have established themselves as a major name in European metalcore, attracting attention for their intense live performances.

Also appearing are Sleep Theory, an emerging American rock band whose music combines alternative metal with catchy melodies, modern production and influences from R&B.
