Poison frontman Bret Michaels has enlisted the help of former Foreigner singer Lou Gramm, former Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, former Eagle Don Felder, and country star Chris Janson for the 2024 version of his Parti Gras Tour.
Aptly named Parti Gras 2.0, this year’s tour kicks off on July 12 at Noblesville’s Ruoff Music Center.
The five-act extravaganza plans to bring the ultimate party experience to concertgoers, Michaels said in a press release. He expressed his excitement, highlighting the camaraderie and energy shared among the performers.
“What I think makes it come together, besides the friendship and the chemistry of (the performers), is just the music, the timeless classic hits, and a lot of energy,” he said. “It’s hit songs. People feel like they’re having a great time.”
Each act brings their own unique flair to the stage, with Felder opening the evening with a barrage of Eagles hits, followed by Snider’s electrifying performance and Gramm’s iconic renditions of Foreigner classics. Janson, whom Michaels considers a kindred spirit, will also grace the stage, adding a country twist to the festivities.
The tour also visits Pine Knob Music Center near Detroit on Aug. 23.

The trek, named after his latest single, stops by Elevation at The Intersection in Grand Rapids on May 29, The King of Clubs in Columbus, Ohio, on June 2, and Saint Andrews Hall in Detroit June 4.
“We are super excited to embark upon the What Do I Got to Lose? tour 2024,” Bach said. “This is the first song that I’ve ever had on U.S. rock radio with my solo band, and I can’t wait to play live for all of you this summer with no tapes, no fakes, all real, all the time.”
Pink adds 2nd Detroit show
Due to popular demand, Pink has booked a second Detroit show with opening act The Script and KidCutUp.
The iconic performer will now make it a two-night stay at Little Caesars Arena with shows Oct. 14- 15.
Michigan news website MLive ranked her 2023 stadium show at Comerica Park in Detroit the No. 1 concert in Michigan for the year, so it’s probably worth the effort to travel to the Motor City if you’re interested at all.
