Vocalist JIZZY PEARL Announces RATT Spring Tour Dates

According to frontman Jizzy Pearl, RATT will be playing at least two shows this spring/summer, including a May 13 date at Win River Casino in Redding, California (on a bill also featuring WARRANT, GREAT WHITE and FIREHOUSE) and a June 17 concert at Kewadin Casino in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Pollstar.com has RATT playing another show at Kewadin Casino on June 10 and a gig on the Mesa County Fairgrounds in Grand Junction, Colorado on September 8.

Pearl recently addressed the rumors of his departure from RATT and a possible reunon of the band's "classic" lineup (featuring frontman Stephen Pearcy) by saying, "My 'status' in RATT hasn't really changed. It hasn't changed since I first started hearing about the supposed 'reunion' four years ago. Every year around the time of the NAMM show it starts — big plans, big money. I don't want [the reunion with Pearcy] to happen for selfish reasons but at the same time if it happens, I wouldn't be shocked either. I did tell everyone my status in RATT; it is unchanged."
