Overview

• Dee Snider, Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda confirmed the reunion run, with specific dates, cities and venues still to be announced.
• Franco returns after recording and touring with the band in the mid-1980s, including on the 1987 album Love Is for Suckers.
• Snider said Mendoza’s absence comes down to "irreconcilable differences," declining to elaborate during a SiriusXM interview with Eddie Trunk.
• The trek will be the group’s first full tour since their 2016 farewell, following only a one-off 2023 Heavy Metal Hall of Fame performance.
• Snider, who had previously criticized reunion tours, now says the band will "answer the call" for its 50-year milestone.
