Background and Context
Pearcy's announcement comes as he continues to work on his sixth solo album, which is set to feature various guest artists. His previous collaborations with DeMartini, including the "Invasion Celebration Tour" in 2022, have rekindled interest in their musical partnership. Pearcy has expressed a commitment to maintaining the integrity of Ratt's legacy, having previously distanced himself from the idea of a full band reunion, stating, “I'd rather give a bit of integrity to the band, because it was a great rock band.”

Tickets for the tour are available through local providers and Pearcy's official website.
