Rise Against is the first band confirmed for the 2006 edition of the Warped Tour. The band will be one of the headliners for the latest edition of the tour, which began in 1995.

Rise Against previously appeared on the 2004 iteration of the tour, and is currently on Warped's sister tour, the Taste of Chaos.

The band continues to write material for the upcoming follow up to their Geffen debut Siren Song of the Counterculture and will head into the studio in December for a projected Summer 2006 release.

This year, Fat reissued their debut, The Unravelling and their single "Swing Life Away" spent more than twenty weeks on the Billboard Modern Rock singles chart.
