Rise Against Returns with New Single and Tour
Rise Against is back with a powerful new single titled “Nod,” their first release in three years. The track, now available on Loma Vista Recordings, serves as both a rallying cry and a call to action, emphasizing the importance of community and shared struggle. Lead vocalist Tim McIlrath describes “Nod” as resonating with compassion and camaraderie, soothing feelings of anger and frustration through the knowledge that we are not alone in our fight for change.
Co-produced by Catherine Marks and mixed by Alan Moulder, “Nod” marks the beginning of a dynamic new chapter for the Chicago punk rock band. The song’s lyrics urge listeners to transform their anger into collective action, challenging societal forces that fuel division. McIlrath’s poignant questions about the true nature of our actions call for reflection, encouraging fans to think critically about the impact of their choices in the world we share.
In addition to the single release, Rise Against has announced an exciting tour schedule this year. Kicking off with UK headlines in February, the band will then embark on a co-headline tour with Papa Roach as part of the “Rise of The Roach Tour,” hitting major arenas across the United States.

Fans can expect the characteristic energy and engagement that have propelled the band to success over the years, with plans for over 50 tour dates in total.
