Official Announcement | Published: Mar 10, 2026 3:01 PM EDT

(SRO) The Stray Cats-all three original members Brian Setzer (guitar, vocals), Lee Rocker (upright bass, vocals), and Slim Jim Phantom (drums, vocals)-will return to the road in 2026 with a month-long, cross-country summer tour.

Kicking off July 24 in Las Vegas, The Stray Cats will bring their legendary explosive live show and red-hot rock & roll to audiences nationwide including multiple stops throughout California before wrapping with three NY-area performances.

The group's setlists will be highlighted by some of the iconic multi-million selling band's massive hits including "Stray Cat Strut," "Rock This Town," "Runaway Boys," "(She's) Sexy + 17," and much more. The initial tour dates are below with more to be announced soon.

Brian Setzer: "It's good to be healthy and strong again. 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."

Lee Rocker: "The Stray Cats are back and ready to blast off! It's an amazing feeling to join up with Brian and Slim, hit the stage and Rock across America. No one can do it like us Cats, .......nobody comes close"

Slim Jim Phantom: "With The Stray Cats, there's always some extra magic around the summertime shows. It's the perfect time for the Cats & Kittens to get dolled up, put the top down & cruise to the greatest Rockabilly show on earth!"
