Twelve dates set for summer
Hot off the heels of The Stadium Tour with his band Poison, for the first time ever, Bret Michaels is hitting the road for a limited run of live dates for his 2023 Parti Gras Tour. Michaels has created this tour with a Mardi Gras feel in celebration of his great fans and hit music. The renowned rockstar will bring a few of his rocker friends along for a mashup of all killer, no filler hits featuring special guests Night Ranger and Jefferson Starship with special appearances from former Journey vocalist Steve Augeri and Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath, plus a nightly surprise guest to rock your world.
Presented by Live Nation, the 12-city limited date run kicks off on Thursday, July 13th at the one and only Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI; known for its epic concerts and parties, going on to make stops across the US including at The Pavilion at Star Lake, in his birthplace of Pittsburgh (PA), Holmdel (NJ), Tinley Park (IL), Tampa (FL), and more before wrapping up in Charlotte (NC) at PNC Music Pavilion on August 6th. The tour promises to be a modern day throwback to epic tailgate parties, positive energy, and a much needed nothing but a good vibe.
“After seeing Bret bring the party in every market of The Stadium Tour, this past year, we are looking forward to more of his ‘nothing, but a good vibe, high-energy performing’ on The Parti-Gras Tour next summer,” states Rick Franks, Global Touring Live Nation.
Michaels states, “I created Parti-Gras as a sincere and grateful thank you to the fans, friends, and family who have rocked with me over the years. I promise to deliver positive energy, live, raw, real music, and all the bands will deliver sing-a-long hit after hit songs. Your voice will be hoarse after an epic, big, fun stage show.“
Presale tickets go on sale Tuesday, December 6th at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster. Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday, December 9th at 10 am. VIP Meet & Greet Tickets Available for Parti-Gras are also available.
Michaels broke the news on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk last week in which he also performed acoustically. During the two hour appearance, Michaels also shared that he has a new solo single, “Back in the Day,” coming in mid-January with a video that he’s also directing and co-editing.
“We now are about every two years go back out on the road,” he says of Poison. “I hope to at least if not make a complete album, you know, just go in there and right a song or two together, and just a fun great — I write with the solo band, we write all the time, every day. I’m always dumping music into my phone. I’ll come up with a beat. I’ll be like (beatboxes) always writing something in my head. And I’m hoping with Poison we’ll get to do that. We with the band, Pete [Evick], and myself, wrote a brand new song called ‘Back in the Day.’ It’s just a through back road trip anthem and when people here this, it’s just a great good feeling party song. It’s a great rock song.”
