Mötley Crüe is making a mammoth return in 2026 with their “Return of the Carnival of Sins” North American Tour, celebrating not only the 20th anniversary of their original Carnival of Sins run but also 45 years since the band first formed. The tour will span 33 dates, delivering a reimagined production complete with updated staging, visuals, and a setlist that promises to explore deep into their catalog while commemorating their legacy.
The tour kicks off on July 17, 2026, at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, and concludes on September 26, 2026, at the Cascades Amphitheater in Ridgefield, Washington. Along the way, they’ll stop in iconic cities including Clarkston (MI), Toronto (ON), Saratoga (NY), Phoenix (AZ), Dallas, Houston, and Salt Lake City.
Joining the Crüe for this celebration are Tesla and Extreme, two fellow rock powerhouses. Tesla, known for anthem hits like “Modern Day Cowboy,” and Extreme, beloved for “More Than Words” and “Get the Funk Out,” will support throughout, adding multi-generational energy to every night.
In announcing the tour, Mötley Crüe shared their excitement: “Bringing back the spirit of Carnival of Sins has been a blast, and we wanted to take it even further for its 20th anniversary. … 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.”
Ticket sales roll out soon: mailing-list presale begins on November 19, 2025 at noon local time, and general public tickets go on sale November 21, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time. As part of their charitable push, the band is also donating $1 from every ticket to ASAP! (After School Arts Program), highlighting their long-standing commitment to community and the arts.
This tour isn’t just a nostalgia trip — it’s a celebration of Mötley Crüe’s storied career and a promise to deliver something fresh, bold, and theatrical for fans old and new.
