Godsmack have a massive summer mapped out, and “The Rise of Rock” world tour delivers exactly what the name promises. The hard rock heavyweights launch a sprawling North American run starting May 7 at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, working through amphitheatres, festivals, and casinos coast to coast before wrapping September 26 at the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater in Nampa for KQXR XFest. This is a full-scale, no-excuses rock tour.
Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy are along for the ride on the majority of dates, making this one of the stronger hard rock packages of the year. Three acts, one bill, zero filler. That’s a lineup that justifies the drive no matter which city you’re in.
Godsmack’s last studio album, ‘Lighting Up The Sky,’ arrived in 2023, and they’ve kept momentum going since with a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Sweet Leaf.” Live, they’ve always been a different beast entirely, a physically commanding, sonically dense rock show that reminds you why this band has stayed relevant for nearly three decades.
The North American run covers serious ground, hitting Charlotte, Kansas City, Tinley Park, Houston, Toronto, and deep into the West Coast stretch with stops in Las Vegas, Mountain View, Chula Vista, and Bend. Whether you’re catching them at an amphitheatre or a casino date, the show doesn’t change. Godsmack bring it every night.
Tickets are on sale now.
