Papa Roach: M&S Bank Arena – 9th Feb 2025

I remember listening to Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’ on repeat in my teenage years, so when I saw they were hitting the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool on the 9th of February, nostalgia struck.
I bought a ticket right away.
For one night only, Papa Roach is bringing their blend of alternative rock, hard rock, and nu metal to Liverpool. Ticket holders can hear their greatest hits, old and new, live in a buzzing atmosphere, played by the two-time Grammy-nominated artists themselves.
The band may have been most prevalent in the 2000s but they have never stopped releasing music or touring. They have 11 studio albums under their belt, with their latest, Ego Trip, containing their biggest hit in a decade, Leave A Light On. They will definitely be playing that one.
The set list is not confirmed but with 26 Top 10 Hits and 12 career Number Ones they won’t be short of choice. Four of those number ones are from this latest album, which has had 360 million global streams, so it’s arguably one of the most exciting times to check back in with Papa Roach.
They are ably back up by Wage War, who you might know for their singles ‘Magnetic’ and ‘Nail5’ among others.
Tickets and Prices
You can get standing ‘seats’ for £58.69 including all fees, which is usually where the best atmosphere can be found, but tickets bands are as follows:
- £50.78 – seated
- £58.69 – seated or standing
- £66.00 – seated
Just be aware that under 14s are not allowed in the standing area. It will probably get a bit physical down there with everyone jumping around.
For an extra £12.50 you can upgrade to a Premium Package which gets you entry into the Sodexo Lounge. This includes a welcome drink so it’s a decent offer to be fair.
£1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the mental health charity, CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).
The gig starts at 18:00, and tickets won’t be available for long.
