In a newsworthy major announcement, Twisted Sister has released a press release announcing their return next year – “Twisted Forever, Forever Twisted”.
The celebration and upcoming tour – dates to be announced at a later date – is for 50 years of heavy metal music – or rather 50 years of “Not Taking It”!
Via the Twisted Sister press release, “Dust off your denim and leather and flex your devil horns: Twisted Sister is back — bigger, louder, and more unapologetic than ever. The band that gave the world ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ and ‘I Wanna Rock’ has confirmed they will storm stages worldwide in 2026, celebrating their 50th anniversary.”
Jay Jay French noted, “beginning on February 2nd, 1976 in a little bar called ‘The Turtleneck Inn’ in Hunter Mountain, NY, Dee Snyder, Eddie Ojeda, and I have called ourselves Twisted Sister and stood shoulder to shoulder for nearly five decades, through multiple personnel changes and thousands of performances. We are proud to celebrate a milestone that once felt unthinkable: a 50 year anniversary!! We have created a music and performance legacy that has and will continue to inspire millions of fans around the world. Twisted Forever, Forever Twisted.”
Eddie Ojeda adds, “fifty years on, and Twisted Sister is still the soundtrack for every rebel with a reason, and a reason to turn it up.”
Dee Snyder concluded, “if you’re lucky enough to be in a band that people still want to see after fifty years(!), how can you not answer the call? In 2026, Twisted F*****g Sister will hit stages around the world because WE STILL WANNA ROCK!!”
The rockers were last out pounding the pavement in 2016; but are not ready for the rocking chairs just yet. Stay tuned for further announcements on where to see Twisted Sister rocking the stage like it was 1976!
Twisted Sister has sold over 35 million albums around the world with 31 silver, gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications in eight countries.
