About

Helping bring commercial metal to the masses since the early '80s, Poison remain at the top of their game well into the current decade. Their Glam-a-Geddon tour in 2011 commemorating their 25th anniversary was a huge success, reflecting the band's now legendary status as a forerunner of American pop-metal. The same can be said for their 2012 tour with fellow rockers Def Leppard. Poison's live shows often combine raucous fun with serious musical entertainment. Ticket buyers were in for a night of loud, high-energy concert rock, not to mention the onstage antics of the notorious C.C. Deville, whose amazing guitar solos are known to exceed nine minutes. Poison's 2011 Double Dose: Ultimate HIts compilation album preceded their summer tour and features all their hit singles that topped music charts.

It began in 1984, with frontman Bret Michaels, bassist Bobby Dall and drummer Rikki Rockett. Deville joined the band shortly thereafter, and the spirit of Poison was born. The glam fashion and metal attitude were a surprisingly effective mix. The 1986 hit Look What the Cat Dragged sold over two million copies, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200. With the release of 1988's Open Up and Say... Ahhh!, the super-smash anthem "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" cemented Poison firmly in their place in musical history. Their 2002 album Hollyweird reunited the band's original lineup after years following a falling-out among members. The reunion seems to have reinvigorated Poison, as it holds true to everything the band ever was and everything it ever will be in the public's eye. Songs like "Wishful Thinkin'" and the title track are hard-driving, good-old-fashioned rock and roll with a pop-metal edge. Fans could not ask for anything more, and a whole new generation of fans got a good glimpse of what the legendary Poison was all about.

  • Look What The Cat Dragged In

    by MetalDaddy on 2018-07-06Budweiser Stage - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    The chemistry the four members of Poison have on stage is magic. Performing hit after hit in such a short time frame kept the crowd on their feet for the duration of the show... with the exception of the drum & guitar solos (which I personally hate... for the most part) Bret Michaels was in fine form with his band mates, but talks way too much. One speech would suffice. Just play! Cheap Trick did just that. Played! Robin Zander & Rick Nielsen may be older now, but their on-stage persona as Rock Gods shone through. They still know how to whip the crowd into a frenzy. Openers Pop Evil took a while to get the early crowd to warm up to them. It wasn't until their final song when lead singer Leigh Kakaty decided to come out to the back of the venue and sing when the crowd finally woke up.

    Even though we are all getting older, including Poison. They still put on a FANTASTIC show.

  • POISON

    by CrimsonCatacombs on 2018-06-29Budweiser Stage - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    I have been a fan of Poison since the 80's and it was amazing to finally see them live. The show was incredible. I had lawn seats and was upgraded [for free] to section 400. I had an excellent view of the stage. No complaints there. Cheap Trick was terrific. I did not see Pop Evil. They were on before I arrived.

  • Crazy Good Concert!

    by SnakeBabe on 2018-06-25Budweiser Stage - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Well once again Bret Michaels proved what a classy sexy good man he is in this world and wow did CC, Ricky and Bobby ever do a stand up great job alongside him. Poison rocked us and was loved by all, everyone on their feet the whole time and in deep appreciation of what it meant to see one of the greatest rock bands and the greatest rock stars of all time. Every single song was superb, the background exciting, and the evening was just fantastic in all aspects.

    it was an awesome experience. Me and my brother travelled 16 hours on the road to go see this show. It was the best trip ever! Great show from the 3 acts.

    Purchased lawn seats and was upgraded to section 200! Thanks so much LiveNation for a wonderful mother/daughter concert made more special with those spectacular seats!

    Always a fantastic show by Poison. All the hits all the crowd interaction. All the action

  • by TamL on 2018-06-23Budweiser Stage - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    Poison was amazing, wish they played more. Cheap trick was great. Pop Evil was a ok, not a good fit with 80s hair metal.
