Chicago-based alternative punk rock titans RISE AGAINST have announced a run of headline shows across North America, set to take place in the spring of 2026. The influential quartet will bring their unmistakable blend of melodic hardcore, politically charged lyrics, and high-energy performances to select cities across Canada and the United States, with rising punk favorites DESTROY BOYS joining as support on all headline dates.
The tour kicks off on March 3, 2026, at The Strand in Providence, Rhode Island, launching a month-long journey that will see RISE AGAINST performing in major markets and beloved secondary cities alike. From packed venues in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver to stops in Pittsburgh, Madison, Spokane, and Boise, the band is once again proving its commitment to reaching fans across the continent rather than limiting itself to only the largest cities.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale Friday, December 12 at 10 a.m. local time, with all tickets available through riseagainst.com/tour. Given the band’s enduring popularity and reputation for explosive live shows, fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early.
Few bands in modern punk history have embodied their name as authentically as RISE AGAINST. Formed in Chicago in the late 1990s, the band has spent more than 25 years serving as a rallying cry for resistance, empathy, and social awareness. While trends in alternative and punk rock have come and gone, RISE AGAINST have remained a constant force, evolving their sound without ever abandoning their core values. Their music balances ferocious melodic hardcore riffs with anthemic choruses, all driven by lyrics that confront injustice, political apathy, environmental collapse, and personal responsibility.
Across a discography that now spans a quarter century, RISE AGAINST have created more than just a collection of albums—they’ve built a musical chronicle of a world grappling with inequality and uncertainty. Their songs often feel like urgent warnings, capturing the anxiety of a looming dystopia while simultaneously offering hope through unity and action. This tension between aggression and melody, despair and defiance, is what continues to resonate so deeply with fans old and new.
The 2026 tour will also feature appearances at major festivals later in the spring, including Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida on May 10, and Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio on May 14, further solidifying the band’s relevance in today’s rock and punk landscape.
