Stray Cats Tickets

The Stray Cats are back — and this time, all three original members are hitting the road together for a fifteen-date summer tour that kicks off July 24 in Las Vegas and rolls through Phoenix, Del Mar, Santa Rosa, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Dayton, and the New York/New Jersey area before wrapping up August 16 in Morristown. Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker, and Slim Jim Phantom are the trio that single-handedly brought rockabilly back from the dead in the early 1980s, and their live shows remain some of the most electrifying experiences in rock and roll. From the opening riff of "Rock This Town" to the swaggering groove of "Stray Cat Strut," these three deliver a performance that blends 1950s rebellion with punk-era intensity and virtuoso musicianship that has to be seen to be believed.

 

This tour is especially meaningful following Brian Setzer's recovery from the autoimmune condition that forced tour cancellations in recent years. The fact that all three original members are back on stage together — Setzer's blistering Gretsch guitar tone, Rocker's acrobatic upright bass slapping, and Phantom's iconic standing drum style — makes every date on this run feel like a celebration. The intimate theater and performing arts center venues on the itinerary, including the legendary Westbury Music Fair and the stylish Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan, put fans remarkably close to the action in a way that arena tours simply cannot match.

The Stray Cats formed in 1979 when three teenage friends from Massapequa, New York — Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker, and Slim Jim Phantom — bonded over a shared obsession with the raw energy of 1950s rock and roll and rockabilly. Unable to find an audience in the New York punk scene, the trio relocated to England, where they became overnight sensations and helped ignite a full-blown rockabilly revival on both sides of the Atlantic. Their 1981 debut album "Stray Cats" and its follow-ups produced era-defining hits like "Rock This Town," "Stray Cat Strut," and "Sexy and 17," earning them a place alongside the original rockabilly pioneers they idolized. Over four decades later, the band's influence extends across punk, roots rock, psychobilly, and the broader alternative music landscape, and their 2019 reunion album "40" proved they could still write and perform with the same fire that made them legends.
