What to know before you go

Check the door time listed by the official ticket seller. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to clear security and reach your section.
Security check: most venues prohibit professional cameras, large bags and outside food. Check the venue's official policy before traveling.
Bring the same payment card or QR code you used at checkout. Some venues no longer print physical tickets — phone screen is enough.
Dress for the genre and the weather — outdoor shows can get cold after sunset. Comfortable shoes for standing-only sections.

What to expect

This is date 3 of the 7 that Rise Against has scheduled in our catalog through December 2026. There are 5 dates in Australia. The previous stop is Auckland (November 24) and the next one is West Gosford (November 28). Rise Against arrives with "Ricochet" (2025) as the latest studio album, according to MusicBrainz.

The GoAllConcerts take

Rise Against is on the road with twelve dates between October and December 2026. The run opens in the United States, with Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco and Irvine, then moves on to New Zealand and Australia. This is a melodic hardcore band formed in Chicago in 1999, and the timing is good because the catalogue gives them plenty to draw from: Appeal to Reason in 2008, Wolves in 2017, Nowhere Generation in 2021 and Ricochet in 2025. Our view is simple. It suits longtime fans and anyone who wants punk with something to say. When you buy, check the venue first. The tour goes from the Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas to the Nob Hill Masonic in San Francisco and Great Park Live in Irvine. In Christchurch, Dropkick Murphys share the bill.
