C’MON FEEL THE NOIZE, mun – Twisted f***ing Sister are back! 🤯 After almost a decade in the rock ‘n’ roll graveyard (well, semi-retirement with the odd cheeky one-off), the New York glam-metal legends are dusting off the warpaint and launching a 50th Anniversary World Tour in 2026. That’s right: Dee Snider and the crew are strapping their pink ties back on, and we’re not gonna take it sitting down. 🥁⚡️
What’s Occurring? 🎤
- World Tour Incoming: Confirmed dates are yet to drop, but 2026 will see Twisted Sister hit stages worldwide to celebrate half a century of riffs, riots, and ridiculous hair.
- Line-Up: Dee Snider (vocals), Jay Jay French (guitar), and Eddie “Fingers” Ojeda (guitar) are locked in. On the low end, Russell Pzütto will hold down bass duties, while Joe “Seven” Franco – who last battered the kit back in ’87 – rejoins on drums.
- Notable Absence: Bass beast Mark “The Animal” Mendoza won’t be part of this run, with Dee Snider bluntly citing “irreconcilable differences.” Rock ‘n’ roll drama, tidy.
Why This Is Huge 🤘
The last time Twisted Sister tore up stages properly was during their 2016 farewell lap, the brilliantly titled “40 & Fk It” tour**. Apart from a sneaky 2023 Metal Hall of Fame appearance, the band had been in the shadows. Fans thought that was it. Finito. Curtain call.
But nah – you can’t kill the beast. 2026 is gonna be their victory lap, their encore for the ages. And with Dee Snider still one of the most powerful and hilarious frontmen in metal, expect a spectacle.
Setlist Dreams 🎶
Let’s be honest, we need the classics:
- “We’re Not Gonna Take It” (the unofficial anthem of anyone who’s ever refused chores)
- “I Wanna Rock” (because… well, don’t we all?)
- “Burn in Hell” (for the headbangers in the pit)
- Cuts from Under the Blade and You Can’t Stop Rock ’n’ Roll (for the diehards)
And if Dee busts out the mic-stand helicopter again? That’ll be worth the ticket price alone. 💨🎤
UK Fans, Brace Yourselves 🇬🇧🏴
A “world tour” without the UK? Not a chance. Cardiff, London, Glasgow – the hairspray fumes alone might breach health and safety, but we’ll be there screaming every word. Expect ticket scrambles that’ll rival Sabbath’s Villa Park meltdown earlier this year.
Final Word 💀
From the dive bars of Long Island to arenas across the globe, Twisted Sister’s story has always been about defiance. Fifty years on, they’re still snarling, still stomping, and still telling the world to shove it.
So grab your leather, spray your barnet to the heavens, and get ready, butt. Twisted Sister are back – and they still wanna rock! 🎀🔥🤘
