Mötley Crüe 2026 Tour Announcement – Return to the Carnival of Sins Tour Schedule
It’s always a circus when Mötley Crüe comes back to town. But this time? It’s a whole freaking carnival. The iconic metal band has announced the “Return of the Carnival of Sins Tour” for 2026 — both a throwback to their notorious 2005 run and a 45th anniversary celebration. They’ll begin on July 17th in Burgettstown, PA, continuing through September 21st in Salt Lake City, UT.
If you remember the original Carnival of Sins, you know exactly what kind of madness is coming. Insane pyrotechnics, makeup sweating down Nikki Sixx’s face, and the sweet, sweet 80s hair metal songs that Mötley Crüe has become synonymous with. Even two decades later, seeing them shred through “Home Sweet Home,” “Kickstart My Heart,” and “Looks That Kill” never gets old.
The band wants everyone — longtime fans and the Gen Z crowd who discovered them through The Dirt — to know this isn’t a nostalgia lap. It’s a celebration of survival and chaos and everything that made the Crüe, the Crüe. Pair them with Tesla and Extreme, and suddenly it’s clear: heavy metal didn’t “come back.” It simply never left.
Early hints say they’re digging deeper into their catalog this time. They’re pulling material they haven’t played in years and tightening arrangements to match the updated stage show. Tommy Lee powering through “Dancing on Glass” or “Save Our Souls” is something you won’t know you needed until you hear it — especially since they now have access to advanced stage effects that weren’t available during the original Carnival of Sins.
Mötley Crüe is the band most people picture when they imagine ‘80s rock, and for good reason. They were loud, reckless, glam, dangerous, and somehow relatable enough that suburban moms and metal kids alike blasted their music. Their legacy stretches far beyond the Sunset Strip — from tabloid madness (remember Lee’s tumultuous marriage to Pamela Anderson?) to their influence on LA culture.
And now they’re returning to their roots the only way they know…unapologetically big and impossibly loud. Get your verified resale Mötley Crüe tickets now for the 2026 tour.
