Hard rock heavyweights Godsmack have ignited 2026 with a massive announcement: The Rise of Rock World Tour (also referred to as The Rise of Rock Tour), a major North American run featuring special guests Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy. Revealed on February 2, 2026, this powerhouse package brings together Godsmack’s explosive nu-metal energy, STP’s ’90s grunge classics, and Dorothy’s fierce modern rock edge for what promises to be one of the year’s biggest rock tours.
Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy will support Godsmack on nearly the entire trek, with STP missing just a handful of dates (mostly festival appearances). Expect career-spanning sets from Godsmack—including anthems like “I Stand Alone,” “Awake,” “Voodoo,” and “Bulletproof”—plus STP hits such as “Plush,” “Interstate Love Song,” and “Vasoline,” and Dorothy’s high-octane tracks like “Raise Hell.”
The tour spans spring through summer, with a split-leg format: the first leg from May into early July, followed by a September resumption. It includes major amphitheaters, arenas, and festival tie-ins across the U.S. (plus one Canadian stop in Toronto).
