Grab your cowboy boots, dust off that denim vest, and crank up Talk Dirty to Me, because the glam metal legends POISON are officially back, butt! 🏴🔥

Drummer Rikki Rockett just announced that the band will hit the road again in 2026 for a massive Stadium and Arena Tour, and he’s promising it’ll be the real deal — no miming, no tricks, and absolutely no backing tracks.

“We’re keeping it live, raw, uncut and no backing tracks,” Rockett said. “You’ll hear every hit, every squeal, every scream. That’s how rock ’n’ roll is meant to sound.”

Tidy. That’s exactly what the world’s been missing.

🎤 Poison Are Back, Baby!

The 2026 tour will mark Poison’s first major headline run since pre-pandemic days, following their killer appearance on The Stadium Tour alongside Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard and Joan Jett.

This time, they’re not sharing the stage — the spotlight’s all theirs, and from the sound of it, they’re going full glam chaos. Expect glitter, fire, and C.C. DeVille solos that melt your fringe faster than a cheap bottle of hairspray. 💥

Frontman Bret Michaels, bassist Bobby Dall, guitarist C.C. DeVille, and of course Rockett himself are said to be rehearsing a new production that celebrates every era of Poison — from sleazy Sunset Strip nights to arena-filling anthems.

🎶 Possible Setlist (AKA Sing-Along Heaven)

While they’ve kept the setlist under wraps, you can bet your leopard-print leggings these absolute belters will be in there somewhere:

And word on the street (and by “street” we mean rock forums full of very loud people) is that Poison might be working on new material for 2026 too. 👀

🧨 Raw Rock, No Robots

Rockett’s bold “no backing tracks” statement has hit the rock world like a firecracker. In an age where many bands rely on pre-recorded parts to keep the show tight, Poison are going old-school — warts, sweat, solos and all.

“We’re not afraid to sound human,” Rikki added. “We want people to hear a band — not a computer.”

That’s the kind of honesty that makes you want to raise a lighter and yell “YESS MUN!” from the crowd. 🔥

🌍 Tour Dates Coming Soon

No official dates yet, but insiders say the tour will kick off in the U.S. spring 2026, before heading across the pond for a full UK and European run. You can bet we’ll be there — glitter, eyeliner, and maybe a pint in hand. 🍺

Venues rumoured to be in the running? Massive ones. Think Wembley, Manchester’s Co-op Live, and possibly even outdoor arenas like Cardiff Castle or Dublin’s 3Arena. 👊

🤘 The Riff Report Verdict

Let’s be honest: glam metal never really died — it just needed a bit of eyeliner and a bigger stage. Poison’s 2026 comeback looks like it’s going to be loud, proud, and dripping with 80s swagger.

So, whether you’re a die-hard fan from the MTV days or a newcomer ready to taste the glittery madness — this tour’s gonna be a proper job, mun. 🏴🎸
