Iconic rock band Mötley Crüe has announced THE RETURN OF THE CARNIVAL OF SINS, a major North American tour set for 2026. This tour celebrates two big milestones: the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking Carnival of Sins tour from 2005-2006 and the band’s 45th anniversary.
Fans across the U.S. and Canada will get to experience Mötley Crüe’s electrifying live show, known for its stunning production and unforgettable music. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will hit 33 cities and feature special guests Tesla and Extreme.
When the original Carnival of Sins Tour launched in 2005, it was more than just a concert; it was a full-scale production filled with energy, humor, and elaborate staging. Now, two decades later, Mötley Crüe is bringing back the spirit of that tour with a reimagined show and updated setlist.
“Bringing back the spirit of Carnival of Sins has been a blast. This new show is for the Crüeheads who’ve been with us through it all and for the new Crüeheads who didn’t get to experience it last time. Get ready — we can’t wait to see you next summer,” the band said in a statement.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 21 at 9 AM local time. VIP packages will be available starting Wednesday, November 19 at 9 AM local time. For more details, visit motley.com.
Additionally, through the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to ASAP! (After School Arts Program), supporting arts education for children.

This limited edition set includes reimagined artwork, a newly remastered album on color vinyl, a never-before-released live concert from 1985, rare demo recordings, and a 76-page hardcover book filled with unseen photos and memories from that era.
