Why This Page Tracks Every Support Slot

The support lineup on The Rise of Rock World Tour 2026 changes by leg, city, and in a few cases by individual date. Many tour overviews list the package as “Stone Temple Pilots and DOROTHY” without clarifying who appears where on specific nights. A ticket holder for Albuquerque experiences a different bill than a ticket holder for Minneapolis three weeks later. This page maps each date to its support acts and connects that listing to a live ticket source. DOROTHY appears on the OnesToWatch roster, and OnesToWatch Live follows every roster date through to checkout.

How the Fall 2026 Leg Structure Changes

The tour’s billing structure shifts between the September amphitheater run and the October arena dates. Through most of September, the show functions as a three-act bill with DOROTHY opening, Stone Temple Pilots in direct support, and Godsmack closing the night. Two September dates depart from that pattern. On September 20 in Corning, CA, DOROTHY moved into the direct-support slot with no Stone Temple Pilots listed on the primary bill. A separate Umatilla, OR date also ran without Stone Temple Pilots, with DOROTHY as the sole support act. Earlier in the month, the September 6 El Paso show at Speaking Rock Casino billed DOROTHY as special guest while Stone Temple Pilots supported other cities. The September 11 PH Live date in Las Vegas featured both Stone Temple Pilots and DOROTHY as support acts.

For the newly added October shows, DOROTHY serves as the only support act. Godsmack announced ten fall U.S. dates with that structure from the outset. Stone Temple Pilots do not appear on the October leg. The run opens October 9 in Airway Heights, WA, and closes October 24 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. Mohegan Sun Arena is the venue where Godsmack recorded its recently released live album. Beyond October, Godsmack added two December 2026 casino headlining shows at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, NC on December 20 and Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, MD on December 27. As of WDHA FM’s September 17, 2026 report, those December dates did not yet list a support act.

Tour Patterns and DOROTHY’s Role

DOROTHY appears on every date of The Rise of Rock World Tour 2026 tracked by OnesToWatch Live, while Stone Temple Pilots join only select stops. Stone Temple Pilots play most September amphitheater shows and skip the casino-format September dates and the full October run. That pattern reflects a planned leg structure announced with DOROTHY as the named support for October.

The tour arc moves DOROTHY from opener to direct support within a single cycle. From May through September, DOROTHY opened a three-act bill with Stone Temple Pilots and Godsmack, including a June 30 Syracuse show that drew an estimated 11,000 people. On the October dates, DOROTHY plays directly before Godsmack with no act in between. That slot changes the length of exposure and the way the night builds, and October marks the final window to see that configuration on this run.

As of 2026, DOROTHY’s lineup features vocalist Dorothy Martin, guitarist Nick Perri (2018–2019, 2026–present), bassist Eliot Lorango (2014, 2017–present), and drummer Jake Hayden (2021–present). Recent sets have run around eight songs and have included “Down to the Bottom,” “Bones,” “Rest in Peace,” “Raise Hell,” “Medicine Man,” “After Midnight,” “Dark Nights,” and “Elevate.”

Planning Your Night at an October Show

Fans heading to an October date can use average timing from setlist.fm as a guide. Across The Rise of Rock World Tour 2026, Godsmack’s average start time lands about 3 hours and 28 minutes after doors, according to setlist.fm. On most nights, Godsmack take the stage between 9:10 and 9:15 p.m., though local curfews and venue formats create some variation. Live Nation lists a 7:30 p.m. show start for the La Crosse and Milwaukee dates, and Riverbend’s listing for the Cincinnati PNC Pavilion date shows doors at 6:00 p.m. with a 7:30 p.m. show time. At the May 30 stop at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, TX, doors opened at 5:30 p.m., DOROTHY began at 7:00 p.m., and Godsmack started at 9:15 p.m., which illustrates how early arrivals matter for anyone focused on the opener.

The October shows are the last chance on this tour to see DOROTHY in the direct-support position. After Uncasville on October 24, the December casino dates do not yet list support acts. Fans choosing between cities may want to consider room size. The Armory in Minneapolis and the La Crosse Center present more compact environments than the larger September amphitheaters, which shifts sightlines, sound, and overall atmosphere for both DOROTHY and Godsmack.
