The legendary ’80s glam metal band Twisted Sister has revealed its first 2026 tour dates, marking the group’s return to the stage with former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach taking over lead vocal duties following Dee Snider’s departure from live performance.
The newly announced shows will take place across the United States and Canada this fall, giving fans their first opportunity to see the iconic rock band perform since its farewell tour concluded in 2016.
According to the band’s announcement, Sebastian Bach will front Twisted Sister for a select run of dates while continuing his solo career. The current lineup includes longtime members Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, along with bassist Russell Pzütto and drummer Joey Cassata.
The tour announcement follows a turbulent year for the band. Twisted Sister originally planned a worldwide 50th-anniversary reunion tour for 2026 after announcing its comeback in September 2025.
However, those plans were canceled earlier this year after frontman Dee Snider stepped away from performing full concerts due to health concerns.

The announcement also included a preview of a new version of Twisted Sister’s 1983 track “You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll” featuring Bach on vocals.

Twisted Sister first formed in the early 1970s and became one of the defining acts of the 1980s glam metal movement. The band achieved worldwide fame with hits including “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “I Wanna Rock” and “You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll.”
The group’s colorful image, theatrical stage presence and rebellious anthems helped make them one of the most recognizable rock bands of their era.
In September 2025, Twisted Sister announced plans to reunite for a 50th-anniversary celebration after maintaining a no-reunion stance following its 2016 farewell tour. The original reunion lineup was expected to feature Snider alongside French and Ojeda.
Bach, best known for his years as the frontman of Skid Row, has long shared connections with the band. He previously appeared on tribute projects involving Twisted Sister and recently performed alongside Eddie Ojeda during a solo concert, giving fans an early glimpse of the collaboration.
Now, with six dates officially scheduled and tickets on sale, Twisted Sister is once again preparing to bring its classic songs to audiences across North America.
