Mötley Crüe has announced a major North American tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their “Carnival of Sins” album and the band’s 45th anniversary. The announcement was shared on Instagram.
The tour is titled “The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins” and will feature 33 dates across North America beginning in July 2026. The band plans to present a reimagined show with an updated setlist. Tesla and Extreme will perform as special guests throughout the tour.
Nikki Sixx expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming technical innovations and musical direction. “Excited about new technology to take the Carnival of Sins tour to another visual level and digging deep and finding some fan favorites for the setlist,” he said. “This is gonna be a blast. Excited to have Tesla and Extreme along for the summer.”
The tour marks a significant milestone for the legendary rock band. It combines nostalgia with modern production enhancements to deliver an enhanced concert experience for fans.
Live Nation’s official announcement reveals that the tour will kick off on July 17, 2026, in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, at The Pavilion at Star Lake. The tour concludes on September 26, 2026, in Ridgefield, Washington, spanning the entire summer season.
The extensive schedule demonstrates the band’s commitment to reaching fans across the United States and Canada. The tour itinerary includes stops at major amphitheaters and venues throughout the country.
Mötley Crüe’s official website highlights prestigious venues such as the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in New York, the Blossom Music Center in Ohio, and the Long Beach Amphitheater in California. These locations ensure accessibility for fans across different regions.
Tesla and Extreme will serve as special guests throughout the entire tour, bringing additional star power to each performance. Brooklyn Vegan reported that both bands will perform at all 33 dates, making this a comprehensive multi-artist experience rather than rotating lineups.
Fans interested in attending can find ticket information and additional details through official ticketing platforms. The tour represents a celebration of Mötley Crüe’s enduring legacy and their continued ability to draw audiences decades after their formation. This solidifies their status as one of rock music’s most influential acts.
