Twisted Sister‘s reunion plans this year where thrown into disarray when health issues ruled out the involvement of frontman Dee Snider this past February. After taking a moment to regroup, the band’s guitarist/vocalists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda enlisted vocalist Sebastian Bach to fulfill their live commitments. Bach, himself a career musician and former member of glam metal outfit Skid Row, garnered the full support of Snider himself.
With the services of ex-Ace Frehley, etc. drummer Joey Cassata having also been locked in (original Twisted Sister drummer A.J Pero passed away in 2015,) Twisted Sister‘s 2026 touring lineup has been solidified. Now at full strength, the group have just confirmed the following four North American shows for the fall of 2026:
09/04 Palmer, AK – Alaska State Fair
09/12 Durant, OK – Choctaw Casino & Resort
10/08 Niagara Falls, ON – OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino
10/10 Windsor, ON – Caesars Windsor
Presale tickets will be available tomorrow, April 08th at 10:00am local time using the code ‘TWISTED2026’. The general onsale has been scheduled for this Friday, April 10th at 10:00am local.
While Snider‘s inability to participate in this comeback tour caused immediate concern among the band’s fans, it has since been revealed, that arthritis-related problems in his knees were the primary reason that forced him to back out, with his doctor warning of further complications should he proceed with the trek.
Twisted Sister had previously hung it up back in 2016, though they returned to the stage briefly for a one-off awards show performance in 2023.
