The Stray Cats have announced a 2026 US tour taking place throughout the summer. The news arrives less than six months after the band cancelled their 2025 tour due to frontman Brian Setzer’s illness; he had previously revealed last year that he had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease affecting his hands and his ability to play guitar. However, Setzer confirmed in a statement that he’s feeling “strong and healthy” and ready to get back on the road with the group: “There’s something about the unique sound of The Stray Cats that keeps drawing me in. The Gretsch guitar, the acoustic bass, and the stand-up drums still sound pure and fresh today. Come on out and have some fun with us this summer.” The Stray Cats’ 2026 tour will commence on July 24th with a show in Las Vegas, followed by stops in cities like Phoenix, Del Mar, Santa Rosa, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Westbury, and Atlantic City. The run concludes on August 16th with a concert in Morristown, New Jersey. See the band’s full list of 2026 tour dates below.
