RETURN OF THE CARNIVAL OF SINS TOUR
November 18th, 2025 by Jimmy Alvarez
They are mad, bad, and dangerous to know – and that’s on a good day! The sultans of insanity made it official, a tour in 2026 is happening.
So, who is this creature who has an insatiable taste for madness, it’s Mötley Crüe of course.
The Crüe is notorious for their days on the Sunset Strip, where they grew to fame and then infamy in a relatively short amount of time.
They have a catalog of larger-than-life songs that resonate with fans – the new and not so new – such as “Dr. Feelgood,” “Live Wire,” “Looks That Kill,” “Shout at the Devil,” “Kickstart My Heart,” and “Home Sweet Home.” No matter where or when you see this band, fans lose their minds over these songs that define multiple generations.
Today’s Crüe features familiar faces and one familiar face for non-Crüe reasons.
Crooner Vince Neil is set behind the mic, Nikki Sixx will be on bass and keys, Tommy Lee will be pounding the skins, newcomer and Guitar-hero John5 is guaranteed to shred on guitar; he will also provide backing vocals.
To announce the tour, the band said, “Bringing back the spirit of Carnival of Sins has been a blast, and we wanted to take it even further for its 20th anniversary. This new show is for the Crueheads who’ve been with us through it all and for the new Crueheads who didn’t get to experience Carnival of Sins last time around. Get ready — we’re coming your way and we can’t wait to see you next summer.”
The Carnival of Sins tour will kick off July 17th and features support from Extreme and Tesla.
Locally you can catch the Crüe on September 18th at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, then the upcoming Long Beach crown jewel of sonic vision, the Long Beach Amphitheatre on September 19th.
Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
