Reunion Announcement and New Music
The Pussycat Dolls, an iconic American girl group, have officially announced their reunion as a trio, consisting of original members Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt. This reunion marks the release of their new single, “Club Song,” which debuted on March 12, 2026. This track is their first new music in over six years, following their 2020 single “React.” The reunion coincides with the 20th anniversary of their debut album, "PCD," which propelled them to international fame in the mid-2000s with hits like “Don’t Cha” and “Stickwitu.”
The group will embark on the “PCD Forever Tour,” a 53-date global tour starting on June 5, 2026, in California and concluding on October 13, 2026, in London. Notably, the tour will feature special guests, including rapper Lil’ Kim and singer Mýa at select shows.
Background and Context
The Pussycat Dolls were initially formed in the late 1990s as a burlesque dance troupe before transitioning into a music group. They gained significant popularity in the early 2000s, with their debut album "PCD" selling over nine million copies and producing multiple chart-topping singles. However, the group disbanded in 2009 after a series of internal conflicts and a failed attempt to launch solo careers.
In 2019, the group attempted a reunion, but plans were derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic and a legal dispute between Scherzinger and group founder Robin Antin. This dispute, which revolved around control and financial disagreements, was settled in late 2025, paving the way for the current reunion.
Key Figures in the Reunion
- Nicole Scherzinger: Lead singer and a primary songwriter for the group, Scherzinger has been a central figure in the Pussycat Dolls' narrative, often cited for her significant contributions to their music.
- Ashley Roberts: A member of the trio, Roberts has been involved in various entertainment projects since the group's initial disbandment.
- Kimberly Wyatt: Also part of the reunion, Wyatt expressed excitement about the group's return, highlighting the alignment of their personal and professional lives.
Criticism and Opposition
While the reunion has been met with enthusiasm from fans, there has been notable absence of former members Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta, and Melody Thornton. The reasons for their absence include differing commitments and priorities, as noted by Scherzinger. Critics have pointed out that the group's dynamic has changed significantly, and the absence of three original members may affect the group's identity and fan reception.
Official Statements
In discussing the reunion, Wyatt stated, “The Pussycat Dolls have always been known for an ever-changing line-up... we feel united and in a place where we're ready to push forward.” Scherzinger echoed this sentiment, remarking on the timing of the reunion: “People are in different places in their lives... but this worked out for us.”
What's Next
The Pussycat Dolls are set to kick off their “PCD Forever Tour” in June 2026, with tickets already on sale. The tour aims to celebrate their legacy while introducing new music to both long-time fans and a new generation of listeners.
