Rise Against Tour 2026: Fall Dates, Setlist & Tickets

Rise Against Ricochet 2026 Tour at a Glance

Before diving into the details, here's a quick-reference snapshot of the Ricochet 2026 tour — covering both the completed spring run and the fall leg now under way.

The fall routing covers markets from the South and East Coast through the Midwest, Mountain West, and Pacific Coast — wrapping in Southern California. Venue choices lean toward intimate-to-midsize rooms rather than arenas, which is consistent with Rise Against's preference for high-energy, close-quarters punk shows.

Ricochet Album and Why This Tour Cycle Matters

The Ricochet 2026 tour isn't just another lap around the country — it marks a creative reset for Rise Against. After a four-year gap between studio albums and a global pandemic that stalled touring momentum, Ricochet arrived as both a statement and a homecoming. Understanding the record behind the tour adds context to the setlist, the venue choices, and the overall energy fans can expect this fall.

Album Details, Singles, and Production

Ricochet is Rise Against's tenth studio album, released on August 15, 2025, through Loma Vista Recordings. The record follows 2021's Nowhere Generation, arriving four years after the band's previous studio album.

The production credits are notable: Ricochet was produced by Catherine Marks and mixed by Alan Moulder — a legendary name in alternative and rock mixing whose resume spans decades of defining records. The album runs 12 tracks across roughly 41 minutes, giving the band plenty of runway to draw from live without padding the record with filler.

Three singles preceded the album's release: "Nod," "Prizefighter" and "I Want It All." "Prizefighter" arrived on April 3, while "I Want It All" was released alongside the album announcement on May 28, 2025. Each single showcased a slightly different angle of the album's sonic range — from urgent, riff-driven punk to more melodically ambitious territory — and built anticipation across months of rollout.

Rise Against's Live Legacy: What's Different This Time

Rise Against have been a relentless touring act for over two decades, but the Ricochet cycle represents a meaningful departure from the Nowhere Generation era. The Nowhere Generation era unfolded during a period when the live-music industry was still recovering from pandemic-era disruptions, making its touring cycle different from a typical album campaign.

The Ricochet 2026 tour corrects that with an ambitious multi-leg approach — spring and fall — covering a wide geographic footprint. More significantly, the venue routing leans toward mid-size theaters and amphitheaters rather than large arenas.

With Catherine Marks producing the album and a 12-song tracklist, the Ricochet cycle adds new material to a live catalog spanning more than two decades.

Spring 2026 Leg Recap (Completed)

The spring 2026 dates are finished, but understanding what happened on those runs helps frame what's ahead on the fall leg. The spring tour gave Rise Against an opportunity to perform the new material for North American audiences.

Spring Leg With Destroy Boys and Koyo

The Ricochet 2026 tour launched on March 3, 2026, in Providence, Rhode Island, at The Strand, with Sacramento punk outfit Destroy Boys as direct support on the initial spring dates. This first leg wound through the Northeast and mid-Atlantic before wrapping up in mid-March.

A second spring leg followed almost immediately, beginning March 18 in Prior Lake, Minnesota, and continuing through April 4 at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California. For this extended run, Rise Against expanded the support bill to include Koyo and Speed of Light alongside Destroy Boys.

The spring legs covered both Canadian and U.S. cities.

Festival Appearances Between the Legs

Between the spring headlining legs and the fall tour, Rise Against continued their 2026 schedule with festival appearances in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Festival sets are generally shorter than headlining shows, so the festival performances should not necessarily be treated as a direct preview of the fall headlining setlist.

Rise Against Fall 2026 Tour Dates — Full Schedule With Alkaline Trio

This is the section most fans are here for. The fall 2026 leg is the centerpiece of the Ricochet touring cycle, and it pairs Rise Against with Alkaline Trio for a run that stretches from late September through late October. The fall leg opened September 22 in Dallas, and the routing covers the South, East Coast, Midwest, Mountain West, and West Coast.

About the Opening Act — Alkaline Trio

Alkaline Trio are a principal support act on the announced fall dates. The Chicago trio, currently featuring Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano and Tosh Peterson, formed in 1996 and has released albums including From Here to Infirmary and Good Mourning. Their most recent full-length, Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs, was released in January 2024. Longtime drummer Derek Grant, who played on the band's records for over two decades, departed in 2023 and was replaced by Atom Willard; Willard announced his own departure in February 2026, and Peterson now holds the drum seat.

The pairing with Rise Against runs deeper than genre adjacency. Both bands emerged from the same Chicago punk underground, and Rise Against themselves acknowledged the connection when announcing the fall tour. As the band put it, this is "a celebration of two bands that sprung from the same soil and the same Chicago basements and bowling alleys."

For ticket buyers, the fall bill combines Rise Against's headlining set with an Alkaline Trio support set, with Teen Mortgage also appearing on multiple announced dates.

Venue Highlights — Standout Stops on the Rise Against Tour

Several stops stand out because of their distinctive venue settings. Here are some of the notable venues on the fall routing.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Morrison, CO — Oct 12)

Red Rocks is one of the best-known outdoor concert venues in the United States, making the Oct. 12 stop one of the more distinctive settings on the tour. The natural sandstone amphitheater sits at an elevation above Morrison, Colorado, carved into geological formations that are millions of years old. The venue is known for its natural rock formations and distinctive acoustics, with the sandstone formations surrounding the seating area contributing to its sound and visual character.

For a Rise Against show, Red Rocks offers a unique contrast: the raw, aggressive energy of punk rock set against one of the most visually stunning outdoor stages in the world. October 12 falls in early autumn in Colorado, which means temperatures at showtime can drop noticeably from daytime highs. Layering is essential — a hoodie or light jacket you can tie around your waist during the pit-ready moments is the move.

Fans attending Red Rocks should check the venue's current parking, entry and transportation guidance before the show, as traffic and access conditions can vary by event. For tips on navigating venue traffic on show nights, check out TicketX's venue traffic guide.

The Rooftop at Pier 17 (New York — Sep 30)

The Rooftop at Pier 17 is one of New York City's most distinctive concert venues — an open-air stage perched atop the Seaport District's waterfront development, with the East River, Brooklyn Bridge, and Lower Manhattan skyline as a backdrop. On September 30, Rise Against will play there with the city's skyline lit up behind them.

The venue's open-air design means weather is a factor, but late September in New York typically delivers mild, comfortable evenings. The waterfront breeze keeps things from getting too warm even when the crowd is packed tight.

Getting to Pier 17 is straightforward by New York standards. The venue is accessible via the 2/3 or A/C to Fulton Street, or the J/Z to Broad Street, all within a short walk. Fans who drive should check current parking availability and rates before the show. The surrounding Seaport District offers plenty of pre-show dining and bar options directly adjacent to the venue.

The Masonic (San Francisco — Oct 22) & Other Notable Venues

The Masonic in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood is a theater-style venue known for its ornate interior, steep sightlines, and punchy acoustics. For the October 22 show, expect an atmosphere that splits the difference between a historic concert hall and a club — the room's architecture concentrates sound and crowd energy in a way that larger venues simply can't. 

Beyond these marquee stops, the fall leg features several other venues worth highlighting. Great Park Live in Irvine hosts the Oct. 23 show, currently listed as the final U.S. date on the announced fall itinerary. The Rave / Eagles Club hosts Rise Against with Alkaline Trio on Oct. 10 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Arizona Financial Theatre hosts the Oct. 14 stop in Phoenix.

Rise Against Setlist Predictions and the Live Experience

Knowing the dates and venues is half the equation. The other half — maybe the more important half — is what happens once the lights drop and the first chord hits. Rise Against are a band whose live reputation precedes them: relentless energy, politically charged sing-alongs, and circle pits that swallow entire general admission floors. Here's what to expect from the fall leg.

Expected Setlist: Ricochet Tracks + Catalog Staples

The spring 2026 leg provided the first real window into how Rise Against are integrating Ricochet material into their live show. While the fall setlist won't be identical — bands regularly shuffle songs between legs — the spring framework offers a reliable foundation for predictions.

Recent 2026 setlists suggest that Rise Against have kept Ricochet material relatively limited in their live sets so far. "Nod" has appeared repeatedly, while recent shows have continued to feature established catalog songs. These songs had months of streaming momentum before the tour even started, and they're the cuts most likely to land with audiences hearing the new album live for the first time.

Beyond Ricochet, Rise Against's deep catalog provides a wealth of proven live anthems. Songs such as "Savior," "Prayer of the Refugee," "Swing Life Away," "Give It All," "Re-Education (Through Labor)" and "Satellite" have appeared frequently in the band's live sets and remain plausible candidates for the fall shows. The band has nine previous studio albums to draw from, and the balancing act between new material and fan favorites is one they've navigated for years.

With a 12-track album, Ricochet gives the band enough material to feature several key cuts live without sacrificing catalog representation. Recent 2026 headlining setlists have generally been closer to 15 songs, although the final number can vary by venue and event format.

Floor Energy, Runtime & Doors — What the Show Feels Like

If this is your first Rise Against show — or your first punk show, period — here's what to know. Recent 2026 headlining setlists have generally run for roughly an hour, although actual running time can vary by venue, bill and event format. With Alkaline Trio and Teen Mortgage appearing on multiple announced dates, fans should plan for a full evening of music. Exact door and set times vary by venue, so check the specific event listing before attending. Check your venue's website or the confirmation email from your ticket purchase for the exact door time.

Rise Against shows can involve active general-admission crowds, including moshing and crowd surfing. If you're standing in a pit area, wear secure footwear, protect your valuables and stay aware of your surroundings. Venue rules and crowd conditions vary, so check the venue's entry and safety guidance before the show.

For those who thrive in the chaos, a few tips: arrive early enough to stake out your spot, because the floor fills fast once Alkaline Trio finishes. Keep your phone and other valuables secured, and consider bringing earplugs for hearing protection.

How to Buy Rise Against Tickets for the Fall 2026 Leg

You've picked your date, scoped the venue, and mentally rehearsed the setlist. Now it's time to actually get tickets. Here's the current landscape for the fall leg and how to navigate it.

Primary Sale Status and Presale Recap

Fall-leg tickets went on general sale on March 20, 2026, at 10 AM local time through Ticketmaster, with primary sale links available via riseagainst.com/tour. An artist presale window opened two days earlier on March 18 for fans subscribed to Rise Against's mailing list.

With the general on-sale having taken place in March and the first fall dates beginning Sept. 22, primary availability on Ticketmaster varies by market.

The key takeaway: if face-value tickets are gone for your preferred date, don't panic. The resale market is a well-established, legitimate channel for sold-out or limited-availability shows.

Finding Tickets on the Resale Market

When primary tickets are gone — or when the specific section or price point you want isn't available on Ticketmaster — the resale market steps in. Resale platforms aggregate tickets from fans and verified sellers who purchased through primary channels and are now making them available to other buyers.

The critical variable when shopping resale is total cost transparency. Historically, many resale platforms displayed an attractively low listing price, only to add service fees, facility charges, and processing fees at checkout — a practice called drip pricing. This means the price you compared across tabs wasn't the price you'd actually pay.

On TicketX there are no hidden fees — the listed price is the final price. For a Rise Against show where you're already budgeting for tickets, transit, parking, and maybe a t-shirt, knowing your exact ticket cost upfront makes a real difference.

TicketX's Buyer Guarantee covers scenarios including fake or invalid tickets, tickets that are not delivered in time, event cancellations without rescheduling and seller transfer failures, subject to the platform's current terms. For full terms and conditions, refer to TicketX's terms of service.

Avoiding Hidden Fees and Scams When Buying Rise Against Tickets

Buying tickets shouldn't require a forensic accounting degree, but for years, that's essentially what the U.S. ticket market demanded of fans. Understanding how fees work — and how to spot bad actors — protects both your wallet and your evening.

What Is Drip Pricing — and What the FTC Rule Changed

Drip pricing refers to pricing practices in which mandatory fees are revealed later in the purchasing process rather than being included in the initially advertised total price. In the ticket industry, this typically played out as follows: a ticket was listed at $55, the buyer added it to their cart, and only at the payment screen did a service fee, an order processing fee, and sometimes a facility charge get tacked on — pushing the actual total well above the listed price. By that point, the buyer had already invested time and emotional commitment, making them less likely to abandon the purchase.

The federal government took aim at this practice. The FTC's Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees (16 CFR Part 464), which took effect May 12, 2025, requires businesses — including ticket sellers — to display a total price that includes all mandatory fees, with taxes and shipping as the two exceptions. The regulation targets the deceptive element of drip pricing: the gap between what consumers are shown upfront and what they're ultimately charged.

For Rise Against fans buying tickets today, this rule means the landscape has shifted. The rule requires covered businesses to disclose the total price upfront, and the FTC has continued to take enforcement action over alleged violations of the pricing requirements. For a detailed breakdown of how fees compare across major ticketing platforms, see TicketX's StubHub vs. Ticketmaster comparison.

How to Spot Fake or Overpriced Listings

Scammers target high-demand concert tickets because the urgency of a sell-out creates pressure to buy fast without verifying. Here are concrete red flags to watch for when shopping for Rise Against fall-leg tickets.

Prices that seem too good to be true are the first warning sign: if a GA ticket to a sold-out Red Rocks show is listed at a fraction of face value, something is wrong, and scammers use below-market pricing to lure impulse purchases before disappearing. Sellers demanding payment outside the platform are another red flag — any seller asking you to Venmo, Zelle, or wire money directly is operating outside the protections a marketplace provides, since legitimate resale platforms process payment internally and hold funds until the ticket transfer is confirmed. 

Wrong ticket format or vague delivery details should also raise suspicion: Ticket format and delivery details can vary by event, so buyers should check the specific Ticketmaster listing before purchasing. Be cautious of sellers offering screenshots, unofficial PDFs or transfers outside the platform's normal delivery process. 

Before purchasing on any resale platform, review its buyer-protection policy and understand what happens if tickets are invalid, delayed, canceled or never transferred. TicketX's Buyer Guarantee addresses scenarios including fake or invalid tickets, late delivery, event cancellation without rescheduling and failed seller transfers, subject to its current terms.

Finally, watch for pressure tactics: "Only 2 left!" countdown timers and aggressive urgency language are manipulation tools, so take the time to compare prices across reputable platforms before committing.
