Michael Monroe is returning to the country where his solo career began four decades ago.
The former Hanoi Rocks frontman has announced a short U.S. tour for the spring of 2027. The six-date run begins April 29 in Hamden, Connecticut and includes stops in New Hampshire, New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles before concluding aboard the Monsters of Rock Cruise.
Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, Aug. 21. The tour will bring Monroe back to American stages after he canceled his planned 2025 appearances with Buckcherry to recover from a ruptured meniscus.
“We definitely wanna come to the States to play,” Monroe said in a February 2026 interview. “When we played there, it was fantastic. It was a great reaction.”
The announcement comes 40 years after Monroe started his first solo band in New York. He had moved to the city at the end of 1985 following the breakup of Hanoi Rocks and his involvement with Artists United Against Apartheid’s “Sun City.”

Released in 1987, Nights Are So Long helped him secure a worldwide record deal and was followed by Not Fakin’ It in 1989. Monroe recently recalled that New York felt like the right place to make a new start.
Before going solo, Monroe had become known as the singer and multi-instrumentalist for Hanoi Rocks. Formed in Finland in 1979, the band combined punk, glam and hard rock while building an international following during the early ’80s. Its original run ended in 1985 following the death of drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley.
Monroe has continued releasing music and touring throughout the decades since. His current band includes fellow former Hanoi Rocks member Sami Yaffa alongside guitarists Steve Conte and Rich Jones and drummer Karl Rockfist. His latest album, Outerstellar, was released in February 2026.
The upcoming tour will give Monroe another chance to perform for American fans while returning him to New York, the city where his solo career first took shape.
