THE MARQUEE
Chicago's own Rise Against is set to take the stage at Hard Rock Live within the Hard Rock Casino Ottawa tonight, March 8, 2026. The performance is a key stop on the band's massive North American trek in support of their 2025 studio album, Ricochet. Fans in the capital can expect a high-octane setlist featuring new tracks alongside the anthemic punk staples that defined the career of frontman Tim McIlrath and the rest of the quartet.
Joining the bill for the evening are California punk trio Destroy Boys and Long Island melodic hardcore outfit Koyo. This tour, produced by Live Nation, has been traveling across the continent since the release of Ricochet last year, drawing praise from outlets like Kerrang! and Consequence for its raw energy. The Ottawa show highlights the band's continued relevance in the rock scene as they bring their socially conscious message to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa stage.
Doors are scheduled to open early for the Sunday night crowd, with JamBase and Concerts 50 noting this as one of the band's primary Canadian dates for the 2026 season. As Rise Against continues their tour through the spring, tonight’s show offers Ottawa fans a chance to see the band in a premier venue known for its state-of-the-art sound. The Hard Rock venue serves as the perfect backdrop for a night of modern punk history.
