In late July 2026 the American hard‑rock band Godsmack announced a significant expansion of its Rise of Rock World Tour, adding ten U.S. shows that will extend the leg into October and feature special guest Dorothy. The added venues span the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest and the East Coast. The following day the band headlined Poland’s Pol'and'Rock Festival, drawing an estimated 700,000 attendees – one of the largest single‑day crowds in the event’s history. Frontman Sully Erna posted a video thanking founder Jurek Owsiak, praising the free‑entry festival’s charitable model that donates surplus proceeds to children’s hospitals, and describing the mile‑long crowd as the most heartfelt part of the show. He noted it was the biggest audience of his career, underscoring the band’s simultaneous presence on both sides of the Atlantic during its 2026 touring cycle. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-03: Pol'and'Rock Festival draws 700,000 fans as Godsmack frontman Sully Erna praises event Godsmack frontman Sully Erna praised Poland’s Pol'and'Rock Festival after headlining the 32nd edition, which attracted about 700,000 fans and supports children’s hospitals through its free‑entry model. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/polandrock-festival-draws-700000-fans-as-godsmack-frontman-sully-erna-praises-event ### 2026-08-01: Godsmack draws 700,000 fans at Poland's Pol'and'Rock Festival Godsmack headlined Poland's Pol'and'Rock Festival, drawing about 700,000 fans; Sully Erna praised the free event and its donations to children’s hospitals, thanking founder Jurek Owsiak. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/polandrock-festival-in-poland-attracts-700000-fans ### 2026-07-29: Godsmack adds 10 U.S. dates to The Rise of Rock World Tour Godsmack adds ten U.S. stops to its Rise of Rock World Tour, featuring guest Dorothy and ticket sales starting July 31. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/godsmack-adds-10-us-dates-to-the-rise-of-rock-world-tour --- Cite as: Godsmack 2026 tour developments.
