Stone Temple Pilots head back on the Rise of Rock tour
Published on 08/24/2026 at 12:04 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Stone Temple Pilots are back on the road in 2026, with a U.S. run that reaches Denver on September 9 and continues through Sacramento in October. The tour listing appears on Ticketmaster, while the band’s own tour page is still the official home for dates.
Denver sits in the middle of the run
The Denver stop is listed for September 9, 2026, at The JunkYard. That date sits in the middle of a route that also includes Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Chula Vista, Anaheim, Mountain View, Bend, Auburn, Nampa and two Sacramento dates in October.
One useful detail stands out: the current route is not a short club swing but a full late-summer arena-and-festival series. Setlist data collected around the same run also places Stone Temple Pilots at Rocklahoma on September 4 and at the West Virginia State Fair on August 22, which underlines how festival-heavy the 2026 schedule is.
Tour route and DACH angle
For German readers, the relevant point is the absence of any announced Germany, Austria or Switzerland date in the live tour listings now circulating. The run currently stays in North America and pairs Stone Temple Pilots with festival slots and shared bills.
The route also shows the band alongside Godsmack and Dorothy on several dates, including Phoenix on September 12 and Anaheim on September 17. That kind of package billing is the clearest present-day context for the tour and the reason these dates are drawing fresh fan attention.

From Core to the 2026 road
Stone Temple Pilots built their name on hard-rock hooks and a deep 1990s catalog led by Core and the 2018 self-titled comeback with Jeff Gutt on vocals. Ticketmaster’s band profile still frames the group around 70 million albums sold, a 1992 breakthrough and the Grammy-winning single Plush.
That catalog matters on stage because the live set naturally reaches back to the songs that defined the band’s original chart run. The current tour routing gives those songs a large-room setting rather than the smaller theater scale that sometimes marks legacy rock acts.
Where the band stands now
Stone Temple Pilots currently have a confirmed live run running from August into October 2026, with the next listed stop on September 9, 2026, in Denver. The same public listings show the tour ending at Aftershock in Sacramento on October 4, 2026.
