Bret Michaels returns to rock Star Lake, and is bringing Dee Snider and Lou Gramm with him

BURGETTSTOWN ― Bret Michaels brings his Parti Gras tour back to The Pavilion at Star Lake this summer.

The July 13 show finds Michaels joined by country chart-topper Chris Janson (“All I Need Is You,” “Buy Me A Boat”), Lou Gramm, the original voice of Foreigner, singing three of that classic rock band's hits, and Dee Snider singing his Twisted Sister anthems “I Wanna Rock,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” plus a cover of AC/DC's “Highway to Hell” and teamed with Michaels on “Nothing But A Good Time."

Michaels, a Butler native, will sing hits from his Poison days.

Don Felder of The Eagles will open the show.

Mason "Mayce" Tomlin will introduce Michaels, then perform a special one-off Electronic Dance Music set as Mayce, exclusively for the hometown audience.

Presale tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Tuesday throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale which begins on 10 a.m. Friday, at BretMichaels.com.

"The Parti-Gras is like Jimmy Buffett meets AC/DC meets Poison in a backyard barbecue setting," says a Michaels-approved press release.

Michaels launched Parti Gras last year with Night Ranger, Jefferson Starship and Mark McGrath as support.

This year's six-city limited date run kicks off on July 12 in Noblesville, Ind., and includes stops in Alpharetta, Ga.; Clarkston, Mich.; Holmdel, N.J.; and the tour finale in Gilford, N.H.

Michaels said, “I guarantee these festivals are a modern-day throwback to those epic tailgate bashes, overflowing with good vibes and nothing but positive energy. I created the Parti-Gras festivals first and foremost as a fan of music, bringing along friends, bands and hit songs. I love it as a celebration of the music. No ego, just nothing but a good time. I want it to be an audiovisual experience. I want it to be a great time from the minute you come through the gates. Let your Mardi Gras flag fly with bandanas and beads. I want it to smell like summertime in the sun. I'm even pouring my own personal coconut rum into the hazers so everything smells good, looks good, sounds good and feels good. And, as the son of a veteran, always dedicating the show and my gratitude to the men and women that have served our country and given us the freedom to rock.”
