Poison’s 2026 Anniversary Tour Stalled as Rikki Rockett Says Bret Michaels Hasn’t Agreed

The drummer says he has not spoken with the singer in years, leaving a Live Nation proposal in limbo.

Overview

  • Rockett says Live Nation presented a 2026 tour contract that he, C.C. DeVille and Bobby Dall accepted.
  • According to Rockett, Bret Michaels has not agreed or responded, so no 40th‑anniversary dates are booked.
  • Rockett told fans not to expect a 2026 celebration of Look What the Cat Dragged In.
  • Poison has not performed since the successful 2022 stadium run with Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, which reportedly sold 1.3 million tickets and grossed about $173.5 million.
  • Rockett contrasted Poison’s full‑time tour model with Michaels’ weekend‑warrior solo schedule, suggesting a difference in approach is contributing to the stalemate.
