Papa Roach

Papa Roach arrives on December 6, 2026, at the LDLC Arena in Décines-Charpieu. Formed in 1993 in Vacaville, California, the band initially blended nu metal, rap rock, and alternative metal before shifting its songwriting toward a more melodic hard rock and alternative rock with straightforward choruses. On stage, vocalist Jacoby Shaddix leads the quartet with Jerry Horton on guitar, Tobin Esperance on bass, and Tony Palermo on drums.

The set draws from their entire catalogue, from Infest to Ego Trip, including Lovehatetragedy, Getting Away with Murder, The Paramour Sessions, Metamorphosis, The Connection, F.E.A.R., Crooked Teeth, and Who Do You Trust?. Driving riffs, an alternation of clean vocals and a rougher delivery, and lyrics focused on psychological tension, relationships, and mental health: the formula remains recognizable while making room for more accessible structures. Between bursts of rap rock and more melodic passages, Papa Roach puts on a show that links the energy of their early days with their recent evolution, without forced nostalgia.
