Get ready to turn the volume all the way up. Legendary hard rock outfit L.A. Guns has officially announced an extensive world tour for 2026, dubbed the “Lucky MF’r” tour. The band will storm across the United States and Europe, bringing a potent dose of Sunset Strip sleaze rock to audiences everywhere. In a major coup for fans of ’80s glam metal, the tour will feature an iconic special guest on its select dates: none other than Tom Keifer, the powerhouse voice and guitarist behind the multi-platinum band Cinderella.
This monumental tour is set to support L.A. Guns’ upcoming 2025 studio album, Leopard Skin, promising a setlist packed with new anthems and the classic hits that cemented their legacy.
Tour Itinerary: A Transatlantic Rock Spectacle
The “Lucky MF’r” tour will launch with a bang on April 19, 2026, at the historic Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood, California—a venue synonymous with the birth of the band’s era. The U.S. leg will be a marathon of rock, spanning over three months and concluding on July 25 in St. Charles, Illinois.
Following a brief summer break, Tracii Guns, Phil Lewis, and company will cross the Atlantic to ignite audiences in the U.K. and throughout Europe. The international chapter of the tour is scheduled to run from October 27 to November 13, 2026.
Tom Keifer Joins the Party: A “Loud, Screaming Rock Show”
The announcement of Tom Keifer as a special guest has exponentially raised the tour’s anticipation level. Keifer, whose acclaimed solo career includes the albums The Way Life Goes (2013) and Rise (2019), promises a performance that delivers everything a rock fan craves.
In a July 2025 interview with Shaggy at The Pick, Keifer offered a preview of what to expect from his set. He described it as “a big, loud rocking show with a lot of Cinderella hits and some tracks off of some of the solo records too.” He emphasized the sheer power of his live ensemble, noting, “[I’ve got a] seven-piece band [with] keyboards, percussion and [plenty of] singers,” ensuring the complex harmonies and blues-rock swagger of Cinderella’s classics are perfectly reproduced.
Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist that blends timeless Cinderella anthems with the strongest material from his solo work.
A Busy Year for a Rock Icon
The L.A. Guns tour is just one part of a busy schedule for Keifer in 2026. The acclaimed vocalist is also slated to share the stage with other rock heavyweights, including Buckcherry and former Mötley Crüe singer John Corabi, proving his enduring status and relentless energy as a premier live performer.
This tour is shaping up to be an unmissable event for aficionados of ’80s hard rock. It combines the raw, gritty energy of L.A. Guns with the legendary, blues-soaked rock of Tom Keifer, offering a night of pure, unadulterated musical nostalgia and powerful new tunes.
