BRET MICHAELS On POISON's 2026 Tour Plans - "We're Just Hoping To Make This Absolutely 40 Awesome Dates"

Speaking with Ethan Dometrius, Poison frontman Bret Michaels doubled down on the band's plans to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of their debut album, Look What The Cat Dragged In, in 2026 with a 40-show tour.

Michaels: "I go through '25 (wiith his solo band); we're doing a bunch of these big festivals. And then 2026, C.C. (DeVille / guitar), Bobby (Dall / bass) and Rikki (Rockett / drums). I'm here because of them, because of us having each other's back in the beginning, through the middle, through right now. It'll be four years since The Stadium Tour, together, and we're just hoping to make this absolutely 40 awesome dates, and just putting every ounce of energy on that stage and just bringing an absolute party."

Michaels recently went on Facebook Live to speak about plans for the future, including for Poison to hit the road in 2026 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Look What The Cat Dragged In with his bandmates.

Michaels shared the following: "I know a lot of people are wondering, and I try to clear any confusion. ‘25 is going to be an awesome year. We're gonna pick out some special dates, and I'm just going to do my best to a little R&R, take care of my diabetes, which could just use a tune-up. That’s it and some other things that we're going through right now. All gonna be great. I'm keeping positive. And some great family time to have some fun, but still do some great select shows. And then '26, if all goes great, with a lot of moving parts with C.C. and Bobby, Rikki, myself, I am positive we're gonna work everything out and go out in '26."
