Brett doesn't give a shit about Poison, let alone Poison's fans.

If they actually go out and headline in 2026, it will be whoever LiveNation wants as the opening act. Probably Joan Jett and some buy-on nobodies.

Or who Live Nation tells them to open for. Which goes back to what I was saying. Of course Bret is going to pocket a decent guarantee and put his T shirts in front of more eyeballs if they end up going out with Lynyrd Scabbard or whatever.

[DonJuanDeMarco]

Based on their previous headlining package tours, Ratt and Cinderella toured with them the most. Neither band really exists right now so Pearcy/DiMartini of Ratt and Tom Keifer of Cinderella are the obvious ones.

Warrant are a strong live band so add them to the bill as well.

However, if it is Twisted Sister I don’t know who a good opener would be. I understand that Dee has been doing shows with Bret but TS was earlier 80’s. They were pretty much over by the time Poison came out.

I’m actually cool with a Poison/Skynyrd tour but I don’t see that happening.

[MetalSludgeCEO]

I was thinking while watching the Rikki interview which was excellent about who they would take on tour as support or opening for them. I have bad feeling Twisted Sister will support before them, co-headline in their costumes because Dee does some of the partigras dates w/bret. I'd be irate if they supported def lep or crue playing 9 songs. sounds like they'll do the right thing and headline sheds finally again. who will be on the bill you think?

I will go out on a limb, and say there is about a ZERO % chance that Twisted Sister would ever open for Poison.

Tom Kiefer or a reunited Cinderella (Jeff's son on guitar) is my #1 guess as its their 30th anniversary also

"""""""""""""Tom Kiefer or a reunited Cinderella (Jeff's son on guitar)"""""""""""""""

Also a ZERO % chance this would ever happen.

We don’t need or want Twisted Sister at Forum Nevermind tour stop
Just bring out Dee during Poison set for 2 songs!
Poison headline with bonus Parti Gras rules makes it perfect!
Bop Bop Bop

Queensryche -Tesla -Cheap Trick should tour at sametime..keep that “music” off Nevermind 2026
Ventura Fair good stop for them

Considering what a great venue Ventura Fair was for I Love The 90's I was hoping Party Gras would play there.

[FreddyFender]

Twister Sister has two songs, which is why including Snider on Party Gras works. He probably just sings those two and fucks off.

They would sink like a fucking stone trying to fill out an hour on a big tour. Same thing as QR.

[thunderdan]

Tesla sounds like they'll get the gig. Maybe 60 minutes for them, with an opener for 45 minutes. Or could be Tesla alone open for Poison. Shame Cinderella 40 years means nothing without Cinderella, as Keifer. CEO- you are almost always never wrong. who you hearing?

[thunderdan]

sorry put it at the bottom, CEO you hearing anything.

[thunderdan]

wonder what poison'd 13 thinks?

[sunshinehead]

I will go out on a limb, and say there is about a ZERO % chance that Twisted Sister would ever open for Poison.

$tEvil

How come? Not disagreeing but not aware of an issue there?

I actually think it would be quite good, and if they could add someone like Quireboys to open it would be something for everyone, snd something different to the usual Warrant, Firehouse, Ratt type thing.

[thunderdan]

sludger from the beginning in '99 looking forward to every "20 questions" coming out every Tuesday morning". My 2 roommates always asked what the hell is this website I'm on constantly. This is 99 freshman year old college. In 99 I googled "80s hair metal" and i became a sludger. In '04 after reading all content many times found out about "gossip board" and it's been 21 years since, God! I say all of this b/c Stevie is always right.

It has to be Tesla I think but I agree with other poster, if TS could wear full makeup and both do 75 minutes co-headlining but TS on first wouldn't he, do it? I know CEO saying note though. He's doing 2 or 3 songs for Bret Michaels solo as part of partigras, I'd think they'd jump at a co-headlining shot in 20k sheds w/poison, w/another band opening of course. Side note never liked TS but saw them the year at M3 with full makeup and they were awful and I'm not a hater and am open minded, one guitarist cord was unplugged first 2 or 3 songs, very Spinal Tap!

From what Hannon said and no Cinderella around debuting in 86, Tesla a much bigger draw then Keifer solo, that sounds to me to make sense and Tesla has opened for them when Poison supported Def Lep. Have an opener for 45, give tesla their 60 and poison 75 headline the big sheds finally again.

[PBFSUCKS]

It’s cool to see excitement about this tour. However, it’s probably going to be a bare bones, 75 minute money grab. They could go all out and have huge show with pyro, and confetti and fun stuff but instead it will probably a boring set of tired tunes with 15 of the 75 minutes being solos.

The only guarantee will be Bret will wear a Poison shirt and wigdana.

Wait, you went to college? How did that turn out?

[thunderdan]

lol, tired when posted. 2 master's, 2 bachelor's

Masters? Are you living in a slave state?

[LAglamrocker]

all the DREAMS of Sacramento coming true Parti Gras CEO playing Sacramento Fair in July!

Maybe Ventura DREAMS may come true also?! Parti Gras CEO playing opening night Ventura Fair for 3$? Includes SHOW -camel rides - and BEST entertainment in So Cal the Pig races!!!

Quireboys? Lol.

I will go out on a limb again, and say there is absolutely ZERO chance that would ever happen as well.

So.....a Tom Kiefer, Stephen Pearcy or Tesla type opener agree's & they kind of co headline at 70 minutes each

Does Poison go with a LAG/Lita Ford type 40 minute opener
OR
Could they get away (with 2 solid headliners) with going out with a new band ala Tuk Smith, The Bites, Bad Marriage or someone of this type

Question for Stevie.....with 3/4 of Tuff back, would you guys consider a 3rd act 40 minute run or is this type of touring out of the question for you now?

Perhaps Party Gras could be extended to include Poison preceded by a backing band with various guest singers subject to date and availability? Then Bret Michaels has both a Poison tour and top billing,

[Fat_Elvis]

Reunited Ratt with reunited Skid Row and this thing comes close to filling arenas?

I don't see Tuff doing a 40 minute set before Poison in arenas and amphitheaters across the United States during the summer months because they'll be co-headlining stadiums with Guns N Roses.

Holy shit does this thread have some stupid takes.

[greengoblinrulz]

Yes I realize they won’t get asked on Poisons tour
My question Is if a 3rd/4th slot from a decent tour offered something, would they consider it at this stage of career

[ParaDime77]

Is a 40 minute slot even worth it financially for a band?

[Rocker4Real]

Kotzen should open.

[Ralph2]

Is a 40 minute slot even worth it financially for a band?

Yes, it drives revenue/visibility.

There's merch sales, streams post gig, etc......

Plus bar raised on follow-up lower tier retrace tour.

IF done right, could add a couple years onto a dying brand/band.
