Papa Roach singer Jacoby Shaddix has confirmed that the band will play some special live shows to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band's breakthrough album, Infest, later this year.
Shaddix told Italy's Linea Rock, “We're going to celebrate this album for sure — 100 percent, definitely. And then also we have some announcements around some live shows that we're gonna do to celebrate the album as well. So I can't let the cat out of the bag completely, but yeah, we've gotta celebrate it. That's a cult classic and a best-seller right there.”
The band's second full-length record and first major label release, Infest peaked at Number Five on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold three million copies in the U.S. alone. It featured the band's first massive hit single and signature song, “Last Resort.”
Guitarist Jerry Horton told us that Shaddix's lyrics and vocal performance on the song hit home with fans. “You know, we've gotten a lot of kids come up to us, especially to Jacoby, saying, 'Thanks for writing that song, you know, I feel like it's my life, you know. I can just totally just connect with it.' So it's a good feeling.”
Papa Roach has been on a European tour promoting its 2019 Who Do You Trust? album.
