Godsmack launches ‘Rise of Rock’ tour following live album release
Godsmack is set to begin its “Rise of Rock World Tour 2026” on May 10, following the May 1 release of the band’s new live album, Live at Mohegan Sun.
The tour kicks off at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow before traveling through North American amphitheaters and European festivals. Select dates will feature Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy.
“I haven’t been this excited about a tour in a long time,” said frontman Sully Erna. “Between Godsmack and Stone Temple Pilots, it’s nothing but songs people know and love. This tour is about celebration—of rock music, of history, and of everything that got us here.”
The new album serves as a sonic launchpad for the tour, capturing the band’s October 2024 performance in Connecticut. The 14-track setlist includes “When Legends Rise,” “Bulletproof,” and “Keep Away.”
The release arrives during a milestone year for the group, which is also celebrating the 25th anniversary of the album Awake. An expanded edition of Awake features bonus tracks, including a new mix of “Why” and a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Sweet Leaf.”
“The music is what dictates the career, and the music always comes first,” Erna said. “I hope people can see the sincerity in what we do.”
The band will host a live, interactive global watch party for the concert film on May 28 via Stagepilot.
