Poison have announced that they’ll hit the road across North America later this year on the Nothin’ But A Good Time tour.

The 25-date run features the original lineup of vocalist Bret Michaels, bassist Bobby Dall, drummer Rikki Rockett and guitarist CC DeVille.

They’ll be joined by special guests Cheap Trick and Pop Evil.

Michaels says: “The all original Poison is headlining again this summer. It’s going to be a mega concert and party combined. We will be playing all the hits and bringing high energy rock and roll good times. I promise this will be awesome.

“My friends Cheap Trick and Pop Evil will be joining us as well as some special guests on select dates. Again, I know all the bands with all the hits will be giving 1000%!

“Over the last years, Poison has got to co-headline with some great bands – Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Kiss, Lynyrd Skynyrd, to name a few, but I promise again, C.C., Bobby, Rikki and myself together will bring Nothin’ But A Good Time!

Tickets will go on general sale on Friday (February 9) via Live Nation. Find a list of tour dates below.

Drummer Rockett was sidelined in 2015 when he discovered a tumour on his tongue and underwent a successful experimental immune therapy called immunotherapy, with Michaels previously reporting that he would wait for the drummer to completely recover before making live plans.
