Mötley Crüe reimagine “Carnival of Sins” for 2026 tour
American rock band Mötley Crüe announced a 2026 tour reimagining their ‘Carnival of Sins’ tour 20 years later to celebrate the band’s 45th anniversary.
They began teasing it on social media a few days ago, with images of what looked to be circus posters, being the sword swallower, the two-headed snake, and the goat-headed boy. Fans quickly turned to the comments to speculate what the posts could mean. Some comments from Instagram being “NOW WE'RE CURIOUS👀”, “These mean...something...🙃”, “Curiosity is making me be all Nancy Drew on these posts!”.
Carnival of Sins was their comeback tour in 2006 after almost 7 years of the OG lineup not playing together. Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, and Mick Mars. Though this time around, after the retirement of Mick Mars, we have guitarist John 5 [Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie] to shred us through “The Return of Carnival of Sins.
The band will be supported by Extreme and Tesla throughout the run.
Tickets go on sale this Friday (Nov. 21) at 10 AM local time and can be found through Motley Crue's website. And with Mötley Crüe's give back initiative, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to ASAP! (After School Arts Program)
