Godsmack has revealed details for their 2026 North American tour, titled The Rise of Rock World Tour, featuring Stone Temple Pilots as very special guests and Dorothy as the opening act. The amphitheater-focused run spans May through September, delivering a strong lineup of hard rock and alternative acts across the U.S. (with select Canadian dates).
Godsmack, led by vocalist Sully Erna, remains a cornerstone of late-’90s and 2000s hard rock. With over 20 million albums sold, multiple No. 1 records, and hits including “I Stand Alone,” “Voodoo,” “Awake,” and “Whatever,” the band is known for its intense, rhythm-driven performances. This tour follows their recent festival appearances and builds on their enduring live reputation.
Stone Temple Pilots bring their influential ’90s alternative sound to the bill. Now fronted by Jeff Gutt, the band continues to perform classics like “Plush,” “Interstate Love Song,” “Creep,” and “Vasoline” from albums such as Core and Purple. Their melodic yet heavy style provides a natural contrast to Godsmack’s more aggressive approach.
Dorothy, fronted by Dorothy Martin, opens the shows with their blues-infused hard rock. Tracks like “Raise Hell” and “Gifts from the Holy Ghost” highlight Martin’s commanding vocals and the band’s gritty energy, setting an energetic tone for the evening.
Presales started February 3 for fan clubs, radio, and other offers, with general public onsale following February 6 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and the bands’ official websites.
