Remember the short-lived WXTB Halloweenie Roast? We do, and the last time Tampa Bay saw Papa Roach roll into town was at the 2013 iteration of the late, 98ROCK-run music festival at the ol’ Gary.

The California band’s set was sandwiched between spots from Alice Cooper and Bullet For My Valentine. Ten years later, Papa Roach returns to the same bandshell to open for Jacksonville rock outfit Shinedown, which we still can’t thank enough for the free concert and album signing at St. Pete’s Daddy Kool Records last year.

Tickets to see Papa Roach with Shinedown and Spiritbox at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Largo on Friday, Sept. 29 are still available and start at $29.50.
