Bret Michaels, the Poison frontman, has announced his return to touring with five new dates following a health-enforced hiatus. The musician cancelled the remainder of his 2026 tour after undergoing surgery for kidney stones and attempting an unsuccessful comeback performance in August, on medical advice to take several months' rest and recovery.

Michaels will resume performing on 16 October in Portage, Indiana, with a rescheduled Night Ranger tour date, followed by four additional shows throughout November at venues including Michigan, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. He has also committed to the Rock Legends cruise departing Miami for Mexico from 21–25 February 2027, sharing the bill with Foreigner, George Thorogood and Collective Soul. The kidney stones caused severe pain exacerbated by complications from his Type 1 Diabetes.
