Poison frontman Bret Michaels has announced a series of new solo performances, marking his first shows since postponing his Live & Amplified Tour earlier this year. The confirmed dates include October 16 in Portage, IN at Founders Square Amphitheater and November 13 and 14 in Harris, MI at the Island Resort And Casino.
Michaels underwent surgery in July following a diagnosis of a complicated obstructing kidney stone. Due to his post-operative condition and underlying health issues including diabetes and a lower back compression fracture, he was restricted from performing for three to four weeks. A short return to the stage in August required immediate medical evaluation, confirming the need for additional rest and recovery.
As a result, Michaels will take several months off to fully heal before resuming live performances. Looking ahead, he will join the 14th edition of the Rock Legends Cruise from February 21 to February 25, 2027. The cruise departs from Miami, Florida and travels to Costa Maya, Mexico, featuring acts including Foreigner, George Thorogood, Collective Soul, and Michael Schenker.
BraveWords Records, the label that represents ALCATRAZZ, Bangalore Choir, Crimson Glory, Jack Starr, Voices of Extreme, Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse, The Chris Slade Timeline, Rhett Forrester and Rob Robbins, Prophets of Addiction, ASKA, and Lillian Axe, is the home of these acts. The label continues to promote a diverse range of heavy metal and hard rock music.
