Atlanta, get ready to turn it up to eleven. Two of rock's most electrifying acts are colliding in one explosive night at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre on May 21, 2026, and if you let this one slip by, you will absolutely regret it. Godsmack's The Rise of Rock World Tour 2026 is rolling into the city with Stone Temple Pilots riding shotgun, and together they are bringing a hard-hitting, fist-pumping celebration of everything that makes rock and roll worth screaming about.

The Rise of Rock Is Real — And Atlanta Gets a Front-Row Seat

There's a reason they're calling it The Rise of Rock. In an era crowded with pop anthems and streaming playlists, Godsmack and Stone Temple Pilots represent the unapologetic, guitar-driven, chest-rattling spirit of rock that never actually died — it just waited for the right moment to come roaring back. That moment is May 21st. That place is Atlanta.

Godsmack, the Massachusetts-born hard rock powerhouse led by the relentless Sully Erna, has been one of the genre's most consistent forces since the late '90s. With anthems like "I Stand Alone," "Awake," and "Bulletproof," they have built a catalog that hits like a freight train every single time. Atlanta has always shown Godsmack love, and this city's rock faithful are going to bring the energy right back at them.

And then there's Stone Temple Pilots. Few bands carry the kind of emotional weight and cultural legacy that STP does. From "Plush" to "Creep" to "Vasoline," their music is woven into the DNA of an entire generation of rock fans. With a sound that blends grunge grit with arena-ready hooks, Stone Temple Pilots on a summer amphitheatre stage is nothing short of a religious experience.
