The Dead Daisies have confirmed that drummer Brent Fitz will be joining the group for their European tour scheduled for June 2025. Fitz, a Canadian-born musician known for his work with a variety of rock heavyweights, is set to step in behind the kit as the band hits the road for a packed summer run.
Fitz’s career includes performances with artists like Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, Alice Cooper, and Gene Simmons. His history as both a touring and recording drummer spans several decades, making him a seasoned addition to The Dead Daisies’ rotating lineup. The tour is expected to take the band through multiple European countries, with shows planned in Germany, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
The group’s current lineup includes founder and guitarist David Lowy, lead guitarist Doug Aldrich, vocalist John Corabi, and bassist Michael Devin. Richard Fortus, who originally played with the band nearly a decade ago, has also returned. Fitz’s arrival fills the role of drummer for this tour, rounding out a lineup stacked with veteran musicians from the hard rock scene.
Brent Fitz and Fortus have previously performed together in other settings, which may help build a sense of musical cohesion when they hit the stage together this summer. The band is already in the process of getting ready for the tour, with rehearsals likely to start before the first date rolls around in early June. While nothing has been officially said about setlists, preparations appear to be moving steadily.
The Dead Daisies started out in 2013 and slowly found their place in the rock world, sticking close to classic rock influences — gritty guitars, driving energy, and songs that don’t overcomplicate things. Since then, they’ve brought in a mix of experienced players, changing faces over time but keeping the spirit of the band steady. Despite the lineup changes, they’ve stuck to a core style and put out several records along the way, including Revolución, Make Some Noise, and Burn It Down.
Recent reports indicate the band has been recording new material, although no official release date has been set. With a tour on the horizon, fans may hear previews of new tracks alongside staples from the group’s earlier albums. The upcoming shows include both standalone dates and slots at well-known rock festivals throughout Europe.
This will mark Brent Fitz’s first tour with The Dead Daisies. More details about setlists, openers, and additional venues are expected to follow as the band finalizes its summer plans. Ticket sales have already begun for several shows, with more dates likely to be announced soon.
