One of the most successful hair bands in the 80s and early 90s was the band Ratt, hitting the charts with “Round and Round” and “Lay It Down,” solidifying their place in heavy metal for years to come. Ratt began in in Hollywood in the late 70s, calling themselves Firedome, led by lead singer Stephen Pearcy. That version broke up, becoming Crystal Pystal, then Buster Cherry, and again to Mickey Ratt before abbreviating their name to simply Ratt. Over 40 members have rotated in and out of the band since then, but they remain intact so to speak, and announced a brief 2018 tour. Here are the confirmed dates and locations this summer…
