After years of legal battles and pandemic-related delays, The Pussycat Dolls have officially confirmed their return to the global stage. On March 12, 2026, the group announced the “PCD Forever” world tour, a 53-date extravaganza celebrating two decades since the release of their multi-platinum debut album, PCD. Now operating as a trio consisting of Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt, the group is set to kick off the tour on June 5, 2026, in Palm Desert, California. The tour will span North America, Europe, and the UK, supported by legendary artists Lil’ Kim and Mya, marking one of the most significant pop reunions of the decade.
The Deep Dive
The Trio Transformation: Who is Returning?
The most striking detail of the 2026 reunion is the streamlined lineup. While the group originally rose to fame as a six-piece ensemble, the “PCD Forever” tour will only feature Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt. Noticeably absent are original members Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta, and Melody Thornton.
Reports suggest that the exclusion of the other members has caused a stir within the fandom. While Kimberly Wyatt stated in a recent interview that the Pussycat Dolls have always been known for an “ever-changing lineup,” social media posts from Bachar and Sutta hinted at a surprise “snub.” Despite the internal friction, the core trio has moved forward, citing a renewed creative synergy and the successful resolution of long-standing legal disputes between Scherzinger and the group’s founder, Robin Antin.
New Music: “Club Song” and Album Reissues
To coincide with the tour, the Dolls have dropped their first new track in years, titled “Club Song.” Produced by hitmaker Mike Sabath (known for his work with Raye and Lizzo), the track is a high-octane pop anthem that leans into the group’s signature R&B-infused dance sound. Scherzinger opens the track with the iconic whisper, “PCD, baby… we’re back,” signaling a return to the high-energy choreography and sultry aesthetics that defined the early 2000s.
In addition to new music, the group’s label has announced that both PCD (2005) and Doll Domination (2008) will receive deluxe vinyl reissues on May 8, 2026. These special editions are expected to feature previously unreleased vault tracks, providing a nostalgic bridge for fans leading into the summer concert dates.
The “PCD Forever” Tour Schedule
The North American leg of the tour is a massive 33-date run that will see the Dolls hitting major arenas and amphitheaters. Starting in California, the tour travels through Phoenix, Toronto, New York City, and Nashville before concluding in Dallas on August 1.
In September, the production moves to Europe and the UK. The UK leg is particularly robust, featuring stops at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena, Manchester’s Co-op Live, and a grand finale at London’s O2 Arena on October 13, 2026. The inclusion of Lil’ Kim and Mya on the North American dates adds a layer of triple-threat nostalgia, bringing together three of the biggest names in mid-2000s pop and hip-hop culture.
