“It’s fun for us to take that trip down memory lane, and play songs we haven’t played in five, 10 years.”
Papa Roach are preparing to hit the UK for a massive tour next month, so we had a chat with frontman Jacoby Shaddix about what the UK can expect.
Jacoby shared “As the years flip by, with the catalogue of our music growing, more songs and records build up, and it makes for dynamic, exciting, fucking rock shows.” He continued, “It’s the greatest hits, mixed in with some cult classics – some bestsellers, and some not-so bestsellers! It’s fun for us to take that trip down memory lane, and play songs we haven’t played in five, 10 years.”
“We’ve got a lot of love for our UK fans, and I know we have a really solid fanbase over there. I’m stoked that we’re doing so many dates over there as well, last time we only did a few. It’s going to be a smasher, a banger, and we’re bringing out a great band with us as well, Nothing More. They’re one of those bands where they step onstage, and bring the fucking fire and energy. Taking a band like that on tour pushes us to double down, you know? It’s going to be a knock down, drag out, fucking rip-roaring rock ‘n’ roll show.”
Last month Papa Roach also added an additional show to their upcoming UK tour, due to overwhelming demand.
Basically, it sounds like the Papa Roach tour next month is set to be a very good time.
