Twenty years later, Mötley Crüe will resurrect its Carnival of Sins Tour for another go-around in the summer of 2026. The Return of the Carnival of Sins Tour will take the glam-rock vets through 33 cities across North America, with support from Tesla and Extreme [get tickets].
The 2005–2006 Carnival of Sins Tour revamped Mötley Crüe’s live presence with an elaborate stage setup, pyrotechnics, and a refreshed setlist, resulting in one of the band’s most beloved tours of the century. Mötley Crüe immortalized the show with a live album and concert DVD, documenting the band’s April 27th, 2005, performance at Grand Rapids’ Van Andel Arena. For the 2026 redux tour, the Crüe will resurrect the production for a reimagined show with an updated setlist. In addition to celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Carnival of Sins, next year’s tour will also mark 45 years of Mötley Crüe.
The tour will kick off on July 17th at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA, and run through September 26th when it wraps at Ridgefield, WA’s Cascades Amphitheater. Throughout the summer, singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee, and new guitarist John 5 will stop at amphitheaters in Toronto (7/22), Saratoga Springs, NY (7/29), Alpharetta, GA (8/12), Tampa (8/15), Tinley Park, IL (8/22), Noblesville, IN (8/28), Houston (9/11), Long Beach (9/19), Salt Lake City (9/21), Mountain View, CA (9/24), and many more.

“Bringing back the spirit of Carnival of Sins has been a blast, and we wanted to take it even further for its 20th anniversary,” the band said in a joint statement. “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 Carnival of Sins last time around. Get ready — we’re coming your way and we can’t wait to see you next summer.”
