THE ROCK PRESENTS
PAPA ROACH + THE USED
BY POPULAR DEMAND “CUT MY HEART INTO PIECES” NZ TOUR 2023
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
The Trusts Arena, Auckland | Tāmaki Makaurau
“New Zealand fans have spoken, we are about to drop this show in Auckland”
New Zealand rock fans witnessed Australian’s go bonkers on the announcement of the mind blowing double headed monster of a tour called the “Cut My Life Into Pieces Tour” that was announced last month! Fans immediately started flooding the band’s socials demanding a show in NZ so the Influential rock icons took notice. Having seen the excitement PAPA ROACH & THE USED took matters into their own hands and decided to put on their own self promoted show and thus they are thrilled to announce that they will land in Auckland on April 18 at Trusts Arena Auckland with Special Guests. PAPA ROACH, the Californian natives, have spent more than 20 years creating one of the most diverse and fearless discographies in hard rock music.
The platinum-selling alternative hard rock band has accomplished an extraordinary volume of accolades in their career with 11 #1 and 22 Top-5 hits. In 2020, the band celebrated the 20 th Anniversary of their iconic album, INFEST, which was streamed globally from their home recording studio in Sacramento during quarantine. Their current new album “EGO TRIP”, released last year, has spawned two #1’s in America and is the band’s boldest and most brilliant release to date. “Papa Roach are not only still with us, but they’re an infinitely more challenging, diverse and simply better band than the one that recorded breakthrough album Infest. New offering Ego Trip rips up any semblance of a rule book, rapping it up and rocking it out with the fervour of any of music’s bright young things.” declared Kerrang!. For over 20 years, THE USED have released a collection of albums that have shaped the space of the alternative rock scene. Painful and perverse, intimate and obnoxious, aggressively heavy and irresistibly catchy, confusingly profound and primitively pedestrian – THE USED transform songs into anthems. Their impressive catalogue has seen them rack up over 165 million views on YouTube, ten Billboard Hot 100 singles and four Top 10 Debuts on the Billboard 200. They reunited with long-time producer John Feldmann (Panic! At The Disco, blink-182) on their eighth studio album, Heartwork which includes guest appearances by Jason Aalon Butler (Fever 333), Mark Hoppus (blink-182), Travis Barker (blink-182) and Caleb Shomo (Beartooth). Known for their high energy live shows, gut wrenching relatable lyrics, and melodies that blended pop sensibility and hard rock creating the perfect combination to make an everlasting impression on fans globally.
