Mötley Crüe Announces 2026 Carnival of Sins Tour

Mötley Crüe announced plans Tuesday for a 2026 North American tour titled The Return of the Carnival of Sins, marking the 20th anniversary of the band's original 2005-2006 run and the group's 45th anniversary since its formation in 1981. The 33-date outing, produced by Live Nation, will kick off on July 17 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, at The Pavilion at Star Lake and wrap up on September 26 in Ridgefield, Washington, at Cascades Amphitheater, with stops across the United States and Canada.

The tour revives the theatrical spectacle of the original Carnival of Sins production, known for its elaborate staging, pyrotechnics, and high-energy performances blending arena rock with the band's signature chaos. This edition features a reimagined show and an updated setlist drawing from the band's extensive catalog. Tesla and Extreme will serve as special guests on all dates, joining Mötley Crüe—comprising vocalist Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee, and guitarist John 5—for the summer-long trek.

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 21, at 9 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster and the band's website, motley.com, with Citi cardmember and VIP presales starting Wednesday,...
