Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein will reunite as Misfits for a performance at Riot Fest.
The band, who have not played together in over three decades, released the below statement on their Facebook page a moment ago, accompanied by the above poster.
THE ORIGINAL MISFITS REUNITE!
Original Members - Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only
with long-time guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein
Set to Share Stage For the First Time Since 1983 as the
Original Misfits Headline Riot Fest in Denver & Chicago
And they said it would never happen. Never!!
However, this September, Original Singer/Songwriter Glenn Danzig, Original Bassist Jerry Only and long-time Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein - for the "First Time in Over 30-Years" - will be stepping onto stage together as "The Original MISFITS" to headline Riot Fest & Rodeo in Denver, CO (September 2-4, 2016) and Riot Fest & Carnival in Chicago, IL (September 16-18, 2016).
From the time of their first gig in 1977, the MISFITS and their iconic imagery went on to become one of the most crucially influential, genre-defying bands to ever emerge from North America, the MISFITS significance extends well beyond the narrowed path of punk rock & hardcore. Although not cognizant of how significant they would become, what the MISFITS achieved in their initial six-year window deconstructed and redefined rock music.
All the while, the MISFITS with Danzig's unmistakeable voice, Only's ferocious bass sound and the bands anthemic songs, melody-induced choruses and authentically bruising musicianship, cemented their importance with all ensuing generations, whether in arena-filled metal shows or in a sweaty 400-cap club in Tucson. And for the 'First Time in over Three Decades', legions of diehard fans from around the world will have the opportunity to hear the Original Band that created thousands of bands in their wake.
