The Rise of the Roach Tour 2025 in Europe is officially underway. Yesterday, Papa Roach played their first concert of the tour at Huxleys, Berlin. The show, which was added to the schedule on short notice, was announced as a "One Night Only" event and celebrates 25 years of Infest, the band’s second and most iconic studio album.
Since its release in 2000, Infest has achieved quadruple platinum in the U.S. The album’s most famous track, "Last Resort", has even earned a staggering six times platinum in the U.S. It’s one of those unforgettable scene anthems you simply can’t resist. Relive the classic track here:
The track is a staple at metal parties and, apparently, in all your playlists as well - "Last Resort" has been streamed over 1 billion times on Spotify alone. No other Papa Roach song surpasses that number, but the streaming figures for the entire album speak for themselves. "Between Angels And Insects" currently has over 130 million streams, while "Blood Brothers" is nearing 70 million. This breakthrough album absolutely deserves its anniversary celebration - not only as a milestone for Jacoby Shaddix and the band but also as one of the biggest fan favorites within the entire community.
World Premiere: New Single "Even If It Kills Me"
Here’s a spoiler for the opening track of the concert in Berlin - it kicked off with a brand-new single from Papa Roach: “Even If It Kills Me”. The track is freshly available as a lyric video on YouTube and streaming on Spotify starting today. However, everyone at last night’s concert in Berlin had the chance to experience the song live for the very first time!
