Mötley Crüe has officially announced The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins, a 33-city North American tour produced by Live Nation, marking two major milestones: the 20th anniversary of the 2005-2006 Carnival of Sins tour and the 45th anniversary of the band's formation.
The tour kicks off tonight, July 27, at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, NJ, following a show in Bangor, Maine, where the band posted, "🤘Bangor, Maine brought it on Saturday🤘Let’s keep this energy going as we hit Camden, NJ tonight." The production reimagines the legendary Carnival of Sins with a new stage design, immersive visuals, and a refreshed setlist that blends the band’s biggest hits with songs returned to the stage for the first time in decades.
The tour spans the U.S. and Canada through September, with very special guests Tesla and Extreme.
In addition to the tour, Mötley Crüe has released Crüe 45 RPM – The Singles Collection, an ultra-limited series of hand-numbered 10-inch vinyl releases featuring exclusive artwork and foil packaging.
Limited to 1,000 copies, the first release, "Looks That Kill," is available now at crueseum.com.
The song originally appeared on the 1983 4x-platinum Shout At The Devil album and reached No.54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 12 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
The B-side features a rare demo from the Shout at the Devil sessions.
"Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood" will follow, with release dates to be announced.
Through the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative, a portion of tour ticket sales will be donated to ASAP! (After School Arts Program), a nonprofit dedicated to providing arts education to children in underserved communities.
