Godsmack is keeping its momentum going in 2026, announcing another round of U.S. performances for October as part of its ongoing “The Rise Of Rock” world tour. The newly added dates will feature Dorothy as direct support and special guest throughout the run.
The announcement comes while the band is still making its way across Europe, where it has been playing to packed festival crowds. This weekend alone, Godsmack performed in Bulgaria in front of more than 16,000 fans, underscoring the group’s enduring popularity after more than two decades at the top of the hard rock scene. Along with Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy on various legs, the “The Rise Of Rock” tour has continued to deliver the band’s signature blend of heavy riffs, arena-ready anthems and high-energy performances to audiences around the globe.
The newly announced U.S. leg begins October 9 at Northern Quest Resort & Casino in Airway Heights, Washington, before heading through Idaho, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Jersey and Connecticut. The final stop is scheduled for October 24 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville.
Fans won’t have to wait long to secure tickets. VIP packages and the artist presale launch on Wednesday, July 29, at 10:00 a.m. local time, with the artist presale using the password “LEGENDS.” Local presales begin the following day at 10:00 a.m. local time, while all presales conclude on Friday, July 31, at 9:00 a.m. local time.
