The Pussycat Dolls are back, and this time, they’re ready to take on the world as a trio. Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, and Ashley Roberts have officially announced their reunion, thrilling fans with a brand-new single, a sprawling global tour, and reissues of their classic albums. For those who have been following the group’s journey over the past two decades, the news feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
After days of swirling rumors and social media teasers, the group confirmed on March 12, 2026, that they would reunite for the first time since their last attempt was derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic and internal disputes. This time, the focus is on unity, empowerment, and, of course, the music that made them international icons. According to Variety, the trio’s new single, “Club Song,” dropped early Thursday morning, produced by Mike Sabath and co-written by Scherzinger alongside Caroline Ailin and Solly. The track marks their first release since 2020’s “React.”
But the excitement doesn’t stop at new music. The Dolls are embarking on the massive “PCD Forever” world tour, a 53-date extravaganza that will crisscross the United States, hit major cities in Europe, and wrap up in the U.K. The North American leg kicks off June 5 at Palm Desert’s Acrisure Arena and concludes August 1 in Dallas, Texas. From there, they’ll hop across the Atlantic for the European leg, starting September 9 in Copenhagen and culminating October 13 at London’s O2 Arena. Special guests Lil’ Kim and Mya will join the trio on select dates, adding even more star power to the highly anticipated reunion (as reported by Billboard).
Tickets are expected to be in high demand. North American fans can jump into pre-sales starting March 18 at 10 a.m. local time, with general onsale opening March 20. European and U.K. fans can snag early access through a mailing list on March 18 at 9 a.m. local time, with general sales also launching March 20. The group’s official website is the hub for early access sign-ups and VIP package details.
The Pussycat Dolls’ journey has never been straightforward. The group originally formed in Los Angeles in 1995 as a burlesque act under the guidance of choreographer Robin Antin. Their transformation into a pop powerhouse came in 2003 when they signed with Interscope Records. Their debut album, PCD, arrived in 2005 and unleashed a string of hits—“Don’t Cha,” “Buttons,” and “Stickwitu”—that dominated charts worldwide. Their follow-up, Doll Domination (2008), kept the momentum going with tracks like “When I Grow Up” and “I Hate This Part.”
Yet, the road to stardom was paved with challenges. The original six-member lineup included Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar, and Melody Thornton, but only Scherzinger, Wyatt, and Roberts are returning for the 2026 reunion. According to the BBC, Wyatt addressed the changes directly: “The Pussycat Dolls have always been known for an ever-changing line-up. It just so happens that right now we’re in a space where we feel united and in a place where we’re ready to push forward. And this is the line-up now, for 2026, but you never know with the Pussycat Dolls what might come next.”
Scherzinger, who has enjoyed a critically acclaimed run on Broadway and the West End as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard—earning both Olivier and Tony Awards—explained how the timing for the reunion felt serendipitous. “The timing of everything was just perfect,” she told BBC News. “After 20 years, you’re like, ‘Where is everybody?’ But for us, it aligned. People are in different places in their lives, some of the other people have different commitments and priorities, but this worked out for us.”
The trio is eager to embrace their evolution as artists and as women. Roberts shared, “We had some conversations, and we were just like, ‘We’re on the same page, we’re excited about embracing where we’re at now as women and celebrating that.’ I’m just really excited to get back on stage and swing these hips around in some latex, hun!”
The group’s image, always bold and unapologetic, has matured alongside its members. Wyatt hinted at this evolution, saying, “We’ll never forget where we came from, but we’re also ready to be progressive as well.” Scherzinger added, “It’s a beautiful time for women, you see now more than ever women in their 30s and 40s who are just so happy being single, and feeling like they don’t need a man—like our song! They’re getting that confidence, that self-assurance, they’re getting that wholeness from themselves, and that’s ultimately what’s the most empowering.”
Fans can also look forward to deluxe reissues of both PCD and Doll Domination on May 8, 2026. The former will be released on vinyl and digital with new and unreleased tracks, while the latter will be available for the first time on 2LP black vinyl. There’s even talk of more new music on the horizon, though Scherzinger noted that the industry has shifted. “It’s such a different temperature now in the music world,” she observed. “We spent so much time on these albums, and we’d get four, five, six hits off one album. Now, it’s a singles-driven world, and you can record a song and put it out there.”
The Dolls’ last reunion attempt in 2019 brought the single “React” and a planned tour, but the pandemic forced cancellations and, as Billboard reported, some members learned of the cancellation only through Scherzinger’s social media post. This time, the communication is clear, the vision is unified, and the excitement is palpable.
The U.K. remains a major market for the group, reflected in the tour’s nine dates across England, Scotland, and Ireland. Wyatt credits the Dolls’ British success to the country’s enduring love for girl groups, saying, “We have to give the flowers to the girl bands that came before us—the Spice Girls blazed a trail. There’s a landscape for women being powerful and doing what they love to do, and there’s a U.K. audience that gets it.”
With all three members now seasoned performers, the group is determined to deliver a show that honors their legacy while reaching new audiences. “We have all lived a lot of life, had a lot of experiences, we’re grown women, and to bring those experiences together and create this unified troupe of three—the power of three, pushing forward—we’re excited to get out there and give the fans what they want,” Wyatt told the BBC. “We’ll really go out there with purpose, with meaning, and to teach the kids what they’ve been missing out on. Who are The Pussycat Dolls? We’re about to show them!”
As the countdown to June begins, one thing is certain: The Pussycat Dolls are back, and they’re ready to remind the world why their name still commands attention.
