Following their sold-out UK tour, Papa Roach presented a cheque for £20,000 to the suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) before their show at Wembley Arena. The “Rise of the Roach Tour” which spans Europe, the UK, and two legs across North American arenas and amphitheatres, donated £1 from every UK ticket sold to the charity. The band has raised awareness about mental health and suicide prevention throughout their career.
The tour saw the band bring their biggest-ever production and journey deep through their vast music catalogue, including a celebration of the 25th anniversary of their iconic breakthrough album Infest. Special Guests for the global tour include Wage War in the EU and UK and Rise Against and Underoath in the US.
Simon Gunning, CEO of Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) said:
We can’t thank Papa Roach – and every single person who bought a ticket – enough for their . Not only have the band raised vital funds for our life-saving work, but they’ve started a conversation on a global scale about suicide prevention. When we bring these conversations out of the shadows and into the light, we break down the stigma that surrounds it, and that really does save lives. Thanks to Papa Roach and all the fans for leaving that light on.

“The kick-off to the “Rise of the Roach Tour” has been incredible” said frontman Jacoby Shaddix. “CALM, along with every audience from each tour stop, is now part of our mission to “Leave A Light On” for those who may need help.”
Papa Roach is still seeing massive streams worldwide – nearly 200 million and counting – from “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)” with duet partner Carrie Underwood where all profits go to the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The track and campaign were recognised in the 2025 Clio Music Awards, where it received a Bronze award in the category of Social Good.
The band recently released a brand-new single “Even If It Kills Me” via their own label New Noize Records/ADA, which is a welcome return to their alternative hard-rock roots. Listen to it, or scroll down for the video.
