In an interview on the “Turn It Up” show on the WSCA 106.1 FM radio station, George Lynch, confirmed that the classic Dokken lineup will reunite for a new album and a new tour. They have already written 3 songs for the upcoming album and the band will continue working on new tracks throughout the year. Hopefully the album can be released in springtime 2011.

A small sample from the interview follows below.

Turn It Up: The shows that you did at the end of last year, with LYNCH MOB opening for DOKKEN, and at the end the classic lineup of DOKKEN playing together again, has that now blown up into that lineup working together again?

George Lynch: “Yes, actually it has. And that’s something that isn’t gonna happen for a little while. We all have our respective commitments, meaning Jeff, Mick, Don and myself are all real busy this year doing other things. But we’ve all made a commitment to each other to dedicate ourselves to getting back together. We’ve already got three songs on the table and we’re gonna continue to write throughout the year and put the whole business together and probably go in the studio late fall or early winter of this year and then have a record out toward late spring of next year, and then hit the road.”
