Mötley Crüe has officially announced The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins, a 33-city North American tour produced by Live Nation, celebrating 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, with the band declaring, "🤘Bangor, Maine brought it on Saturday🤘Let’s keep this energy going as we hit Camden, NJ tonight." The show features an all-new stage production, stunning visuals, and a refreshed setlist that blends the band’s biggest hits with songs returning to the stage for the first time in decades—many chosen by fans.
The tour spans the U.S.
and Canada through September, with very special guests Tesla and Extreme.
The band has emphasized that the experience is a reimagining of the legendary Carnival of Sins tour, enhanced by modern technology and fan input.
"It’s been incredibly exciting to reimagine the Carnival of Sins tour.
A lot has changed since the original production 20 years ago, and being able to use today’s technology to push the show even further has been a lot of fun.
We’re also bringing back songs we haven’t played in decades—many of them chosen by the fans—which makes the experience even more special for us.
We’re looking forward to an amazing summer on the road with Tesla and Extreme.
It’s going to be a great night of music from start to finish, and there’s nothing better than Mötley Crüe outdoors in the summertime celebrating with our fans." 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 band’s 1983 4x-platinum album Shout At The Devil and peaked at No.
54 on the Billboard Hot 100, with a No.
12 showing on the Mainstream Rock chart.
The B-side includes a rare demo from the Shout at the Devil sessions.
Future releases of "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Dr.
Feelgood" will follow with 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 underserved youth.
The band has voiced concern over recent cuts to federal grants for music programs in schools.
The full tour itinerary includes stops from July 27 through September 26, with venues ranging from the Saratoga Performing Arts Center to the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre.
Tickets, VIP packages, and general information are available at motley.com.
The announcement coincides with the release of the single "Stoned Babies" by Voices of Extreme on BraveWords Records, which has been praised by Iridium Rock and Metal Reviews as "Fucking brilliant… Beautiful song." The full album is set for release in 2026."
