Drummer Rikki Rockett confirmed Poison will tour next year.
The drummer shared the following message on hos social media page:
“Poison will be touring in 2025. As usual, there will be no backing tracks. Live, raw and uncut. Warts and all.”
Four months ago, Bret Michaels spoke about POISON‘s plans to regroup for more shows following the band’s 2022 participation in “The Stadium Tour” alongside MÖTLEY CRÜE, DEF LEPPARD and Joan Jett. During a February 25 question-and-answer session aboard the Rock Legends Cruise XI, he said:
“When we go back, I think in 2025, it’s always been, to me, all-original POISON. We’ll have C.C [DeVille, guitar] and Bobby [Dall, bass] and Rikki and myself and go do another big stadium tour and arena tour in 2025.”
Regarding his motivation for going back out on the road with POISON after spending most of his time touring with his solo band, Bret said: “We’ve known each other since we’ve been in junior high school… I wouldn’t be here without Bobby or Rikki or C.C. And then, as you go along, we’ve been together a long time — still great friends. If anyone saw ‘The Stadium Tour’, that was a party. And when you’re out there with that DEF LEPPARD and MÖTLEY and Joan, you’re talking A-plus awesomeness. And we just came out and brought it.
“For me, what it is, we do about a couple of years solo, and then we’ll go out and do 35 or 40 dates with POISON,” he explained. “And we set it up, we schedule it.”
