Rock legends Mötley Crüe are preparing for a massive summer return with the announcement of a new North American tour and a special commemorative music collection.
Starting July 17, 2026, in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, the band will launch The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins tour. This 35-city trek celebrates the 20th anniversary of their original 2006 Carnival Of Sins tour, featuring a reimagined production and an updated setlist. In a philanthropic effort, the band will donate $1 from every ticket sold to the After School Arts Program (ASAP!) to support students pursuing music and the arts.
To build momentum for the tour, the band is releasing Crücial Crüe 1981-1989, a limited-edition picture disc box set available July 10 via BMG. The collection highlights the band's first five studio albums - Too Fast For Love, Shout At The Devil, Theatre Of Pain, Girls Girls Girls, and Dr. Feelgood - which have collectively sold 30 million copies worldwide. Fans can choose from a 5LP picture disc set, a 5CD replica set, or an ultra-limited, hand-numbered edition exclusive to the Crüeseum.
The band's influence continues to resonate in modern pop culture, with tracks like Kickstart My Heart serving as the theme for NASCAR's IndyCar series and Home Sweet Home appearing in the trailer for the film Bus Boys. This year also marks the 45th anniversary of the band and the original 1981 release of Too Fast For Love.
Looking ahead, the band will also release Crüe 45 RPM - The Singles Collection, a limited vinyl series available only at the Crüeseum. The upcoming Live Nation-produced tour will feature supporting performances by rock acts Extreme and Tesla.
