Papa Roach's classic nü-metal album Infest turns 25 in 2025, and the band is starting to lay out their anniversary celebration plans! Papa Roach has just announced a headline show at London's OVO Arena Wembley on February 7, 2025 with support and a DJ slot to be announced later.
Every ticket sold will include a £1 donation to Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM). "The U.K. has always been special to us — so we wanted to celebrate this music with you all in a BIG way and I can't wait to step on that stage," said Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix.
So is Papa Roach gonna do a whole Infest tour? According to Shaddix in an interview with 99.7 The Blitz from earlier this year, the band has and a book and tours all lined up for 2025 (plus some new music).
"Right now, early in the year, we've been working on a bunch of new music," said Shaddix. "And so we're essentially pulling the slingshot back. 2025 is gonna be a big year for Papa Roach. It's the 25th anniversary of our first album Infest. We've got a book, we've got tours, we've got the whole nine. And we've got a whole new batch of music that we're going to drop. And so new music will be probably coming, like, later in the year — third or fourth quarter."
He added: "It's good to get a little calm before the storm, and so I'm taking this year and just creating tons of music, writing for Papa Roach, writing with other artists and really just being as creative as possible."
Infest features three of Papa Roach's biggest hits – "Last Resort" being the biggest, followed by "Broken Home" and "Between Angels And Insects". Infest has sold over 3 million copies in the United States alone, with an additional 1 million sold in Europe. Papa Roach has also been having a little fun with "Last Resort" in recent months, having dropped a "cut my life into pizzas" pizza cutter last November.
