TWISTED SISTER have announced a fresh batch of fall and winter 2026 shows — and they'll once again feature former SKID ROW singer SEBASTIAN BACH stepping in on lead vocals in place of Dee Snider.
Snider, the band's iconic original frontman, is sitting out the dates due to health issues, leaving founding guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda to carry the TWISTED SISTER banner alongside a refreshed lineup. Bach handles vocals, with Russell Pzütto on bass (replacing Mark Mendoza) and Joey Cassata on drums (in for Joe Franco, who became unavailable).
Nine newly confirmed dates stretch from September into December:
- September 4 — Palmer, AK (Borealis Theatre)
- September 6 — Salem, OR (Oregon State Fairgrounds Pavilion)
- September 12 — Durant, OK (Choctaw Grand Theater)
- September 27 — Puyallup, WA (Washington State Fair)
- October 8 — Niagara Falls, ON (OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino)
- October 10 — Windsor, ON (Caesars Windsor Colosseum)
- October 18 — Gary, IN (Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana)
- November 14 — Charles Town, WV (Hollywood Casino Event Center)
- December 11 — St. Petersburg, FL (Ferg's Pavilion)
An artist presale begins Wednesday, June 24 at 10 a.m. local time using the code "TWISTED2026," with the general on-sale following on Friday, June 26.
Bach, for his part, has made clear he doesn't take the role lightly. "I am a fan of TWISTED SISTER," he said, insisting he's "probably a bigger fan" than most and that his enthusiasm runs far deeper than the band's best-known anthems like "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock."
The pairing continues an arrangement that has let the heavy metal institution keep playing live while Snider steps back, giving longtime fans a chance to hear the TWISTED SISTER catalog delivered by one of metal's most recognizable voices.
