Break out the hairspray – Poison is returning to the road this summer.

The “Poison…Nothin’ But a Good Time 2018” tour finds the guitar-cranking rockers – the original foursome of Bret Michaels, Rikki Rockett, CC DeVille and Bobby Dall - sharing a bill with Cheap Trick and Pop Evil.

They’ll swing through Verizon Amphitheatre on June 5.Tickets are $25-$99.50 and will go on sale at 11 a.m. Feb. 9 through wwwlivenation.com and the venue box office.

Each band is also offering its own VIP/meet and greet package (visit www.poisonofficial.com, www.cheaptrick.com and www.popevilVIP.com for details).

Poison visited Atlanta last May for a blast of a show with Def Leppard and Tesla , while Cheap Trick hit Chastain with Foreigner and released one of the best Christmas albums of 2017.
