Mötley Crüe Announces 2026 ‘Return Of The Carnival Of Sins’ North American Tour

On Tuesday (November 18), Mötley Crüe announced the dates and details of their 33-city North American tour in 2026 dubbed The Return of the Carnival of Sins, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2005-2006 tour and live album, as well as the band’s 45th anniversary. Kicking off July 17 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, the tour will hit amphitheaters and arenas throughout the U.S. and Canada, before concluding on September 26 in Ridgefield, Washington. Extreme and Tesla will be the opening acts on all dates. This marks the band’s first major tour following lead singer Vince Neil’s recovery from a debilitating stroke he suffered last Christmas. General on-sale begins Friday (November 21), with $1 from every ticket donated to ASAP! (After School Arts Program) through the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative. The announcement coincides with the release of a deluxe 40th-anniversary box set of the Crüe’s landmark 1985 album, Theatre of Pain, which features remastered vinyl, bonus live recordings, demos, and a hardcover book.
