Announces Ricochet Tour with Alkaline Trio
March 23rd, 2026 by Joey Clark
Chicago-based punk rockers Rise Against are on the road with Destroy Boys at the moment, but they’re not ready to stop anytime soon!
The band announced a second run of U.S. dates that will make up their Ricochet 2026 Tour, named after their release from last summer, “Ricochet.” Joining them on this run will be fellow Chicagoan punks, Alkaline Trio.
GREAT PARK LIVE
Irvine, California
October 23rd, 2026
On top of their touring schedule Rise Against has remained engaged with their fans and the community at large. This past December the four-piece invited a selection of fans for their All Rise Together (A.R.T.) project. It was an experience in which fans created custom posters inspired by the lyrics of the song “Ricochet” that were placed behind Rise Against as they performed and recorded a live set in which those fans got to be the live audience.
The group is well-known for being active politically and has teamed up with fellow musician and activist Tom Morello on several occasions over the years. Their latest endeavors included a talk and performance entitled “The Role of Art in Resistance” last year in which both discussed the influence music has to bring about change. They also joined forces to perform at A Concert of Solidarity & Resistance to Defend Minnesota in which all proceeds went to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
In relation to Alkaline Trio joining the bill, Rise Against stated, “This isn’t just a tour, but a celebration of two bands that sprung from the same soil and the same Chicago basements and bowling alleys. We can’t wait to link back up with our Windy City brethren, Alkaline Trio. Together, we take what we both started so long ago on a tour that is long overdue.”
Alkaline Trio has been busy in and out of the studio since their 2024 record release, “Blood, Hair and Eyeballs.” In 2025 the band went to work with lead singer Matt Akiba’s former blink-182 bandmate, Travis Barker. This collaboration spawned three singles, “Oblivion,” “Bleeding Out,” and “Surprise Surprise.” Following the singles releases, the group toured with blink during their Mission Impossible Tour.
You will not want to miss out on this incredible Chicago-styled punk rock team up! For SoCal fans Rise Against and Alkaline Trio will be stopping off in Irvine at Great Park Live on October 23rd for the final night of this tour. Tickets to the tour are available now.
