Don Broco announce March 2023 UK arena tour with Papa Roach

Chart-topping Bedfordshire stars headline four massive shows

Don Broco , who topped the UK chart in January with their fourth album ‘ Amazing Things ’, have announced a four-date arena tour for March 2023.

Frontman Rob Damiani, guitarist Simon Delaney, bassist Tom Doyle and drummer Matt Donnelly will bring their edgy and genre-diverse rock vibes to Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena on Tuesday 21st March and will take in dates in Leeds and Birmingham before concluding at London’s Alexandra Palace on Saturday 25th March.

Papa Roach and Dance Gavin Dance are the special guests at all four shows.

Tickets to Don Broco’s UK tour go on sale from Kerrang! Radio Tickets at 10am on Friday 29th April.

Don Broco have had a stellar start to the year, reaching the top of the album chart for the first time. ‘Amazing Things’ was initially released to streaming platforms last October, the month after Don Broco headlined the Slam Dunk Festival in Leeds and Hatfield.

Even though the physical release was delayed until January 2022 due to a global vinyl shortage, the band’s plans were not derailed, the album storming to the top spot at the end of that month.

After playing a series of shows in smaller venues, including no fewer than six performances over three days at Esquires in their Bedford hometown, Don Broco appeared at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 21st March. The show was staged to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust, and it saw the band backed by the Charity Symphony Orchestra.

The group has recently dropped a video from the concert, performing the song ‘Easter Sunday’ from their new album. Watch it here:

Don Broco’s UK tour dates:

Cardiff Motorpoint Arena – Tues 21st

Leeds First Direct Arena – Thu 23rd

Birmingham Utilita Arena – Fri 24th

The wildest guitars in rock music:, zz top’s spinning fur guitars.

Of course, we couldn't make a feature about outrageous guitars without ZZ Top's iconic Spinning Fur Guitars. Made from real sheepskin, the twirling guitar for Billy Gibbons and bass for the late-great Dusty Hill were both created by Dean Zelinsky of Dean Guitars and they famously first appeared in the music video to 'Legs' in 1983. Billy Gibbons says: "The guitars are attached to our belt buckles. It's a rotary electrical contact and strap mount. A hole is bored in the back of the guitar at the balancing point and the device is mounted there. Oh yeah, you gotta look out for that thing coming back around. Get your head and neck out of the way or else it'll say hello in an unfashionable fashion."

Bill Bailey’s Gary Hutchins Six-Neck Guitar

Comedy legend, esteemed musician and Strictly Come Dancing champion, Bill Bailey, played this six-necked guitar aptly called The Beast as part of his stand-up routine in 2011. An apparent nod to Rick Nielsen's Five Neck, the instrument was created by guitar maker Gary Hutchins, the eponymous founder of Hutchins guitars, and it once went on display at London's Albert and Victoria Museum.

Nigel Tufnel’s Marshall Stack Guitar

It's fitting that legendary Spinal Tap axeman and amp aficionado Nigel Tufnel used to play a glorious Marshall stack guitar. One of only two ever made, the guitar has a Jackson neck and Seymour Duncan pickup, with the bottom stack detachable for quieter studio work. Naturally, all the volume and tone knobs go up to 11. Commenting on why the guitar was his mainstay for many European shows, Tufnel said: "Well, it's got a very Scandinavian look about it, doesn't it?"

Michael Angelo Batio’s Double-Guitar

Famous for his technical prowess and genre-straddling playing style, American heavy metal guitarist Michael Angelo Batio personally invented the Double Guitar - a V-shaped, twin-neck guitar that Batio plays both left and right-handed.

Rick Nielsen’s Five Neck

Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen with his iconic Five Neck guitar at a concert in 2012. Tired of performing with multiple guitars at concerts, Nielsen joined forces with guitar makers Hamer way back in 1981 to combine all of his guitar playing needs into one glorious instrument. The guitar was created by fusing the bodies of five Hamer Specials together and there have been several incarnations of the Five Neck. Hamer founder Frank Untermeyer said: "Rick's out of his mind, but in a wonderful way."

Steve Vai's Hydra guitar

Taking its name from the track 'Teeth of the Hydra', Steve Vai's new Hydra guitar was built in conjunction with the designers at Hoshino and is based on a "steampunk motif" idea of Vai's. Unveiled in December 2021, the Hydra is billed as a one-bodied, two-headstock-ed, three-neck-ed creature that encompasses, among other things: seven- and 12-string guitars; a four-string bass; sympathetic harp strings; half-fretless necks; single-coil, humbucking, piezo and sustainer pickups; floating and hardtail tremolo bridges; phase splitters; and much more. "It's an incredibly-built machine," Vai comments.

Bo Diddley’s Square Guitar

The blues rock legend made his first square guitar aged 17 as he couldn't afford to buy an electric guitar. He explained to Vintage Guitar in 1997: "(the guitar's) pickup was the part of a Victrola record player where the needle went in. I clamped it to the metal tailpiece to pick up the vibrations." The original guitar was sadly stolen, but in 1958 Gretsch later made a version with DeArmond pickups. Pictured is Bo proudly clutching it in 1959.

John Paul Jones’ Triple Neck Arch-Top Mandolin

The Led Zeppelin multi-instrumentalist's unique Triple Neck Arch-Top Mandolin was created by luthier Andy Manson in the mid-1970s and swiftly became a mainstay of Led Zep concerts. The famous electroacoustic instrument boasts 8-string mandolin, 12-string guitar, and 6-string guitar necks. Manson said decades later: "I designed and made the triple neck and took it to John's house. I said, 'Hi John I thought this might interest you.' He said, 'Wow, yes indeed, I can't wait to see Pagey's face when I walk on stage with this!' It cost £400 and I skipped off down the road feeling like a millionaire."

Prince’s Love Symbol Guitar

Pictured is Prince with a purple Love Symbol guitar in at The Grammy Awards in February 2004 where he performed his anthem 'Purple Rain'. Prince's range of Love Symbol guitars were based on the shape of the unpronounceable symbol he adopted as his moniker in 1993 in an act of rebellion against his record label, Warner Bros.

Steve Vai’s Ibanez Triple-Neck Red Heart Guitar

The virtuoso musician designed his Ibanez custom built triple neck with heart-shaped body guitar in 1988 as he wanted something "eye-catching" for the video to David Lee Roth's 'Just Like Paradise'. Steve Vai himself admits the guitar is "odd" and there have been three incarnations of the instrument – the original Red Heart, a spare called Red Heart II and a Purple Heart. Steve used the latter guitar on the Ultra Zone tour and wrote the song 'Fever Dream' with it.

Pat Metheny’s Pikasso Guitar

Canadian master luthier Linda Manzer created The Pikasso Guitar in 1984 when jazz artist Pat Metheny requested a guitar that had "as many strings as possible." The completely unique resulting instrument has 42 strings arranged in four different string sections.

Gene Simmons’ Axe Bass

Back in 1978, Gene Simmons joined forces with master luthier Steve Carr to create a unique bass guitar shaped like an axe that would suit his on-stage Demon persona perfectly. The resulting weapon-like instrument – aptly entitled The Axe Bass – is a true classic. Now a running trademark for KISS, there have been a number of incarnations of the Axe Bass including the pictured Cort GS-Axe-2 bass guitar Gene is aggressively clutching at the 2010 NAMM Show.

Michael Anthony’s Jack Daniel’s Bass

Michael Anthony's now famous Jack Daniel's Bass was created back in 1983 while Van Halen were working on their musical masterpiece '1984'. Anthony's guitar tech and good friend Kevin 'Dugie' Dugan was charged with creating the bass, which was made with the blessing of Jack Daniel's on one condition – that only three guitars were made. One is on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum, one is in storage and one is still used by Michael Anthony to this very day.

John Entwistle’s Buzzard Bass

The Ox played the iconic Buzzard Bass for the final 17 years of his career from 1985 to his untimely passing in 2002. Entwistle worked with Hans Peter Wilfer, founder of Warwick basses, on the striking bass and the pair came up with the moniker Buzzard after imbibing numerous drinks at London nightclub Maggie's – neither could remember who first suggested the name. After they picked the name, the headstock was tweaked to resemble the beak of a buzzard.

John Fogerty’s Baseball Bat Guitar

Crafted by Philip Kubicki, John Fogerty named his unique guitar 'Slugger' in homage to the Louisville Slugger baseball bat. Created in 1985 when his album 'Centerfield' came out, Fogerty donated the instrument to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 2010. Fogerty said at the time: "That guitar means a lot to me. It's symbolizes two of my great loves, baseball and the guitar. When 'Centerfield' came out, it was after a long break and was such an important album to me on many levels. The lessons of baseball - the hits, the misses, the triumphs, and the losses - were something that I could really relate to in my life. So I got this idea to make a baseball bat guitar and of course, it had to be a Louisville Slugger."

Ian Hunter’s Maltese Cross Guitar

Ian Hunter's Maltese Cross Guitar was designed by American luthier Harvey Thomas in the 1970s. Despite its iconic status, Hunter says the guitar looked good but didn't sound great and he sold it a number of years ago. Def Leppard and Planet Rock's Joe Elliott had two new Maltese Crosses made for Hunter's 70th birthday in 2009 that Hunter says sounded "GREAT!" Hunter says: "There are only two in the world. I think it's really neat that a guitar can look that good AND sound so good. Very cool!! Praise be to Joe!!!"

Bumblefoot’s Vigier Flying Foot guitar

As the name suggests, Bumblefoot's Vigier Flying Foot features a pink foot on the guitar body complete with wings that pop out. Bumblefoot says of his beloved instrument: "Vigier spent 5 months building this guitar by hand - it's truly a masterpiece. Incredible detail on the guitar, down to the toenails. When you bend down the vibrato bar, wings pop out of the sides. They gave me this guitar at the NAMM convention in Los Angeles, January 1998. Plays and sounds the best of all my guitars - it's my main guitar."

George Lynch’s Mom

Influential Lynch Mob and ex-Dokken axeman George Lynch unveiled his skull and bones guitar – affectionately called 'Mom' – in the mid 1980s. Designed and hand-crafted by artist John 'J. Frog' Garcia, the guitar also featured an ESP Guitars decal on the headstock as Lynch was contracted with them at the time.

Andrew WK’s Taco Guitar

Hard partying rocker Andrew WK unveiled a delicious Taco Guitar to mark National Taco Day on 4th October 2017. His second foray into food-themed instruments following his Pizza Guitar a few years earlier, the custom Taco Guitar was created with ESP Guitars. WK said at the time: "I realised that since I had paid tribute to pizza, I now had to pay tribute to tacos in all their glory. I was destined to make a taco shaped guitar. This is proof that if you have the vision, no matter how outlandish or unruly, the team at ESP Guitars can turn it into a beautiful reality. And they only use the highest quality materials and they're truly master craftsmen. Absolutely mind-blowing attention to detail and playability. There's no compromise when it comes to the integrity of the instrument, or the hardness of the party."

Misa Kitara Guitar Shaped MIDI Controller

Not technically a guitar, the Misa Kitara was a short-lived digital MIDI controller and musical instrument that was developed on 2011 and discontinued just two years later. Taking its name from the Finnish word for guitar (kitara), the instrument combined touch buttons for strings and frets with an 8-inch multi-touch screen that creates a variety of sound effects. Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme can be seen playing a modified Misa Kitara in the video to the band's 2012 song 'Madness.'

Dave Hill’s Super Yob Guitar

Famed for his outrageous costumes and hilarious haircut, it seemed only right that Slade axeman Dave Hill had a unique and eccentric guitar. Created by luthier John Birch in 1973, the Super Yob was styled after a science fiction ray gun and instantly became synonymous with Dave Hill. Guitarist and songwriter Marco Pirroni bought the original Super Yob in the early eighties, but Hill has since had a replica made.

John 5’s Fender Telecaster Lava Lamp Guitar

John 5 has a number of eye-catching guitars in his arsenal, but the Fender Telecaster Lava Lamp Guitar is arguably the standout instrument of the lot. John 5 says: "It's heavy as hell but it's really cool because it lights up on stage… it weighs a ton! It sounds really good. There's anti-freeze in it because when I ship it abroad it might freeze and crack the guitar."

Ginger Wildheart’s Smiley Bones Guitar

Based on The Wildhearts' fearsome logo, this truly phenomenal Smiley Bones Guitar was created in 2015 by Devil & Sons Guitars. Daniel Wallis made the guitar for Ginger Wildheart to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 'P.H.U.Q.' album as a replacement for the original guitar which came out when the album was released but was later stolen. He explains to Planet Rock: "I sent some images of it to Ginger who loved it but asked if I could make a few changes so it met a perfect spec for him to play live. Instead of making the changes I just made another so there were in fact two that I made. Part of his spec was to have a particular BC Rich neck put on it, which I did, but then he decided that to play it live it would be better with a 24-fret neck, so I made that change too."

Zakk Wylde’s Epiphone Graveyard Disciple guitar

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society axeman Zakk Wylde with one of this Epiphone Graveyard Disciple signature guitars on stage in 2009. Nicknamed the 'Bo Deadly' by Zakk, the Graveyard Disciple comes in a coffin shaped case and features a crucifix on the body and headstock. Nice.

Eric Bloom’s Blue Öyster Cult Logo Guitar

We couldn't do this list without including Eric Bloom's famed guitar shaped like the Blue Öyster Cult logo. The bespoke guitar was created by master luthier Ronaldo at Pastore's Music in Union City, New Jersey. In case you're wondering, the logo was created by Bill Gawlik, the artist behind BOC's first and second album covers, and it's a stylization of the astronomical symbol for the planet Saturn.

Bootsy Collins’ Star-Shaped Space Bass

The flamboyant James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic bassist's first Star-Shaped Space Bass was created in 1975 by fledgling guitar maker Larry Pless who worked at an accordon shop called Gus Zoppi Music in Warren, Michigan. Since then there have been numerous incarnations of the Star-Shaped Space Bass, including Bootsy's current signature Warwick star basses, but the basic design has stayed the same.

Brian May’s Red Special Guitar

Easily one of the most famous guitars in the history of rock music, Brian May created the Red Special with his dad Harold as a teenager in 1963 as he couldn't afford a Fender, Gibson or Höfner guitar. Designed to intentionally create feedback, the guitar has helped define Brian May's signature sound and he's performed almost exclusively with it throughout Queen's prime in the 1970s and 1980s until this present day.

Todd Rundgren's Veleno Ankh Guitar

Todd Rundgren's aluminium ankh-shaped guitar was created by metal craftsman John Veleno in the early 1970s. Highly regarded for their aesthetic appearance and also distinct playing style, a series of Velono guitars were made for a number of artists. Rundgren loved his so much, he had two made.

The Dean V Dave Mustaine Double Neck Electric Guitar

Dave Mustaine's bespoke double neck guitar, created by Dean, has been one of his main instruments for the past decade. Thanks to its jagged shape and the metal artwork emblazoned on the body, the guitar is an absolute aesthetic triumph – a behemoth of an instrument that suits Megadeth's brutal music perfectly.

Rob Davis’ Heart-Shaped Guitar

Mud guitarist Rob Davis played his famous red heart-shaped guitar during the glam rockers' commercial peak in the 1970s and he still performs with it to this very day. Here he is proudly flaunting the guitar in a promo shoot with Mud almost five decades ago.

Prince’s yellow ‘Cloud’ Guitar

Late music legend Prince had an extensive and highly flamboyant custom guitar collection consisting of more than 100 instruments. Among the standout instruments was Prince's yellow "Cloud" guitar, which sold for $225,000 under the hammer in 2018.

Rick Nielsen’s Uncle Dick

A prolific collector, Rick Nielsen has amassed over 2,000 guitars over the decades. Alongside his trademark Five Neck (also pictured here), arguably the most famous of the bunch is his Hamer 'Uncle Dick' double neck guitar from 1983, which is based on a likeness of himself.

Michael Angelo Batio’s Quad Guitar

As seen in the video to his 2020 song 'Time Traveller', Michael Angelo Batio also invented the Quad-Guitar, which features – you guessed it – two sets of twin-neck V-shaped guitars. Outrageous yet highly impressive!

Lita Ford’s B.C. Rich Monkey Train guitar

The former Runaways rocker unveiled her train-themed B.C. Rich Monkey Train guitar in her 'Playin' With Fire' official video in 1991. Lita told Guitar Afficionado a few years back: "I got into B.C. Rich. I was always over there carving out new ideas and helping to make new stuff. They would make anything I asked them to make."

James Hetfield’s Carl Guitar

In 2018, James Hetfield proudly showed off his unique new guitar – dubbed Carl – to Metallica fans. The rugged instrument is named after 3132 Carlson Boulevard in El Cerrito, California, where Metallica were based during their breakthrough years from 1983 to 1986. The garage was later demolished but James's friend Andy Anderson of the Bay Area thrash group Attitude Adjustment kept eight pieces of wood from the heavy metal landmark and gifted them to him years later. Papa Het then enlisted the services of master custom guitar maker Ken Lawrence to craft him an instrument using those planks of wood. Carl featured on Metallica's WorldWired World Tour where it was used for performances of 'Hardwired… to Self-Destruct' track 'Moth Into Flame.'

Dan Hartman’s Bass Suit

Unfortunately, we've been unable to acquire an image of the late Dan Hartman's Bass Suit but there's no way we can miss it out! The Edgar Winter Group bassist and solo musician paid a reported $5,000 for the suit in 1974 (huge money at the time), which he designed with Los Angeles couturier Bill Witten. Made from a rubbery fabric that featured the instrument in the pelvic pocket, the Bass Suit's controls are on the sleeve attached to an aluminium plate and the guitar neck ends with a crescent moon.

Stig Pederson’s iPhone Bass

Stig Pedersen, bassist/vocalist of Danish rock band D-A-D, has a number of outlandish bass creations that he performs with including a rocket shaped bass, a reverse bass where the head stock and body are swopped around, and a transparent bass. He hit the headlines in 2018 when he unveiled his latest playful creation – a bass shaped like an iPhone.

Don Broco // Papa Roach // Dance Gavin Dance // Live Review // The First Direct Arena // Leeds

Since announcing their arena tour last year, I’ve been beyond excited to see Don Broco live again and with Papa Roach as special guest, it only makes this show 100x better. Both bands can easily sell out at O2-style venues so seeing them both on a bigger stage will be incredible!

As we arrive, for the early start time, the arena is already filling up with fans ready to rock out. Supporting this tour are Dance Gavin Dance who had a successful headlining tour earlier this year. There’s clearly plenty of fans of these guys here tonight as a huge cheer erupts from the crowd as the band takes to the stage. Starting things off with “Chucky vs The Tortoise” the band’s unique blend of clean and screaming vocals drastically contrast each other. The screaming vocals also have a sharp contrast against the upbeat and funky riffs of the tracks. The crowd have taken well to these guys and is soon clapping along during the intro to “Summertime Gladness”. For a supporting band, they are a great warm-up to both the heaviness of Papa Roach and the party feel of Don Broco.

Dance Gavin Dance

It seems like forever ago since I last saw Papa Roach on tour back in 2019 and I’m so ready to be blown away by these guys once more. As smoke fills the stage and arena, there’s a buzz in the air as the whole room sings along to Linkin Parks “In The End”. It’s quickly time for the lights to go down and the chaos begins. As Jacoby Shaddix bounces onto the stage and kick-starts the set with “Kill The Noise” the crowd are quick to join in headbanging and singing along. By the time the second song hits with “Getting away with Murder” a pit opens up and with the third song “Help”, body’s are soon making their way over the crowd towards the stage and over the barrier. It may have been a few years since these guys have played but this crowd hasn’t forgotten how to rock out at a Papa Roach show! Shaddix has the crowd responding to every instruction as a sea of arms and heads bang in time to the music and quickly part for a wall of death at his command. He knows how to interact with the fans making sure everyone from the front to the seats at the back feel involved with the show. And those fans in standing are throwing everything from circle pits to rowing as the band do an epic cover of “Firestarter”. Despite being on a larger stage Shaddix still jumps down to the barrier to get close and personal with the front row during “To be Loved” dodging the crowd surfers along the way. The chaos does stop though as the band plays “Scars” and the crowd sings every single word. Jacoby quickly brings the energy back up with some call and response before the band breaks into “No Apologies”. Through the whole set the rest of the band stand back providing a steady beat and rhythm to every song. As the set comes to an end however they take their moment in the spotlight quite literally as they play the intro to “Born For Greatness”. After such an energetic song there can only be “Last Resort” to end the set. Year on year, Papa Roach show that they are a force to be reckoned with on stage and I only hope its not another 4 years before they hit the UK again to play!

As the time approaches for Don Broco to take to the stage, my excitement hasn’t dropped and it seems the crowd are ready to keep going for this set. The band take to the stage in darkness and as the intro track plays each member of the band is back lit in time to the music. As a projected image of pink smoke moves up the stage, Rob Damiani warns the crowd he wants to see him go wild when the beat drops. They absolutely comply as the band hit it with “Bruce Willis” and go completely wild. From this point on l, neither the band or the crowd stop moving. You know it’s gonna be a hell of a show when there’s a sing along challenge in the first song. As the band head into “Gumshield” the entire crowd moves as one and quickly a few puts open resulting in a massive circle pit with a huge row boat in the

centre! It’s not all new songs though as the guys throw it back to “Technology”. Damiani takes a breather after this to reminisce with the crowd about some of their favourite shows in Leeds over the last few years. There’s also a special shout out to some fans who had recently seen these guys on tour in Amsterdam. This kind of interaction is that of a band who truly care and appreciate their fans. To show much this means to the fans, they quickly go wild for “UBER” and “Come Out to LA”. Throughout all of this and the whole show, the stage is incredibly lit with a huge circular lighting rig and a huge backdrop which goes from floor to ceiling projecting video of tje band as they play along with corresponding images to the songs. As the set continues, we learn that people in the crowd have travelled from as far as Glasgow to the show as well as Manchester. It about time for the guys to play “Manchester Super Reds No1 Fan” and there’s a special element to this live performance of the song as Jacoby Shaddix returns to the stage to join in on this one. After that it’s time to go back to some older songs with “Automatic” and “What you do to Me ” which has the crowd jumping so hard that the floor is shaking. This energy continues into “Action”, after which Damiani takes a moment to make sure everyone is okay as there’s a wave that someone needs help. As its been 10 years since the release of their first album, the band play the title track “Priorities” and the crowd loudly sing it back to them enjoying this throwback. With the set being non stop energy so far, there is time for a breather with “Anaheim ” before getting straight back into it with “Everybody”. XX jumps down from the stage and spends some time on the barrier with the crowd. As the night is drawing to close there’s time for “Superlove” and “Nerve”. As the band leaves the stage, we all know it can’t be over just yet!! As the crowd breaks into singing “Hey Baby” the band quickly return to the stage for 2 last songs starting with . But there’s only one way to end a Don Broco show and that’s to swing your top in the air to “The T Shirt Song”! It’s been a crazy and sweaty show but this band has proven that they have the energy and showmanship to put on an incredible arena show and have what it takes to fill a large stage!

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

TikTok has given Papa Roach a whole new fan base: ‘We now have the kid, the parents and the grandparents at the show’

Share this with

Papa Roach are the ultimate millennial band, but they’ve been embracing technology that has introduced them to a whole new fanbase – some 23 years after the release of breakthrough album, Infest.

They shot to fame in 2000 thanks to the likes of Last Resort , Broken Home and Between Angels And Insects. Now they’ve been welcomed by the next generation thanks to TikTok .

‘It’s wild! It’s f***ing awesome!’ yells frontman Jacoby Shaddix. ‘It really is. You never know when your time is up in this business and every album you release, it’s make or break. To still be successful after all this time, it means everything. Whenever I find the time to take a step back and look at where we were, where we came from and where we are – it’s like, “Is this real?” I’ve had a couple of Keanu Reeves in The Matrix moments, questioning reality. It’s pretty rad.’

Speaking from his studio at home, he’s all bleach-blond hair and vibrating with positivity and energy. Many bands say that they never expected to be successful, but that was never an option for Jacoby.

‘I have always said quite the opposite. I definitely had this grand illusion when we first started outthat I would be here still doing this, decades later,’ he says.

‘Before we released Infest, we put out a full-length EP called Old Friends From Young Years. That was us putting out into the universe this intention that we would look back at these early years and still be buddies. I had that dream.’

He pauses. ‘Look, I was wild and reckless, and living in the moment, but I still had this dream of becoming a rock star. This is a lifestyle. This is my path. I had a different vision, you know, I really did, and I’m just grateful that it’s happening.’

Jacoby jokes that the band have fans of all ages at their concerts now, ahead of their tour with Don Broco. ‘We now have the kid, the parents and the grandparents at the show, it spans the ages for us, but one funny thing is how to keep everyone happy. A lot of comments we get on social media say things like, “Why don’t you do your old-school stuff?” But I’ve realised it just depends on when they became a fan of Papa Roach.

‘Old-school to some people can be from 2010, while others it’s 2000
Papa Roach. That’s two very different beasts. It’s a quality problem for us to have though.’

With so much music to choose from, sorting the setlist isn’t easy – but they have honed it to a fine art.

‘We make a set that feels like a greatest hits setlist to be honest,’ Jacoby says. ‘We’ll pull out a couple of stone-cold classics like Last Resort, Scars, Getting Away With Murder, To Be Loved… but then we have the new songs people adore. It’s cool to see these moments throughout our career that really just pop and people fall in love with.’

Touring with Don Broco is a combination many people didn’t see coming, but Jacoby loves a challenge: ‘Just give me a mic. Let me get on stage, and let me show you what we do. Chances are we’ll win fans over. Yeah, there’s going to be a couple of haters, but the reality is I’m a massive Don Broco fan, there’s something palatable in the room,’ he adds, getting increasingly hyped.

‘I want to f***ing throw down. It’ll be one of those moments where we’re going to push Don Broco as a band, we’re bringing a game. I’m really, really excited. I love how excited both of the camps are to be able to be doing this together. We’re gonnaf***ing blow that s*** out the water. It’s gonna pop off the hinges. It’s a rock showdown!’

Those are some fighting words for Don Broco. Riled up like a televangelist now, Jacoby has some words for those thinking of coming to see them play.

‘This is an opportunity for you to take all your demons, all your problems… bring them with you to the rock’n’roll show, throw them on the ground and dance on their face till they’re done,’ he crows.

‘I bring the energy, I rock a show like my life depends upon it. We want to give you the best night of yourf***ing life. That’s the goal.’

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:
