After frontman Dee Snider was forced to step away from Twisted Sister’s 2026 reunion tour due to knee-related health issues, the legendary glam metal outfit regrouped with former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach stepping in on vocals. Snider himself has given his full blessing to the arrangement, ensuring fans that the spirit of Twisted Sister’s stage presence remains intact.
Guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda have also secured Joey Cassata on drums, following the passing of original drummer A.J. Pero in 2015, completing the lineup for this long-awaited return. With the band now at full strength, they’ve revealed four confirmed North American dates 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 go live on April 08th at 10:00am local time using the code ‘TWISTED2026’, while general onsale begins Friday, April 10th at 10:00am local.
Speaking about his absence, Snider shared that arthritis-related complications in his knees made it medically unadvisable for him to tour, with his doctor warning that continued touring could cause further damage.
Twisted Sister originally retired in 2016 but made a brief one-off stage return in 2023 for an awards show. This upcoming tour marks their first major North American run since that time, now powered by Bach’s commanding vocals and the band’s classic signature energy.
