Mötley Crüe announce mammoth Carnival Of Sins tour with Tesla and Extreme
If you missed all the big top action on the original Carnival Of Sins tour, now's your chance to put that right
Mötley Crüe have announced an extensive North American tour for next summer. The Carnival Of Sins tour will celebrate the band's 45th anniversary as well as the 20th anniversary of the original Carnival Of Sins tour, which took in 118 shows in 2005-2006.
The new schedule kicks off on July 17, 2026, at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA, and ends on September 26 at the Cascades Amphitheater in Ridgefield, WA. Support will come from Tesla and Extreme.
"Bringing back the spirit of Carnival of Sins has been a blast, and we wanted to take it even further for its 20th anniversary," say the band. "This new show is for the Crüeheads who’ve been with us through it all and for the new Crüeheads who didn’t get to experience Carnival of Sins last time around. Get ready – we’re coming your way and we can’t wait to see you next summer."
The general ticket sale on begins Friday, November 21 at 9am local time, with VIP packages available from Wednesday, November 19, at 9am.
The original Carnival Of Sins tour was one of the top-grossing tours of 2005-2006 and featured a big-top set and a cast of little people, acrobats, clowns, stilt walkers, fire breathers and unicyclists. Tommy Lee's drum solo saw him flying to a riser suspended from the ceiling to perform on an electronic kit, while Nikki Sixx played a theremin during his solo spot.
