The Return Of Carnival Of Sins: MÖTLEY CRÜE's 20th Anniversary Tour with TESLA and EXTREME
MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx recently discussed the band's upcoming "The Return Of Carnival Of Sins" tour, marking the 20th anniversary of their 2005-2006 tour. The tour will feature support acts EXTREME and TESLA and will kick off in July 2026 in Pennsylvania. Sixx highlighted the band's past successful tours and the use of technology to enhance the upcoming shows, creating an immersive experience for fans.
The choice of support acts for the tour, TESLA and EXTREME, was based on the idea that good songs can be interpreted in various styles. Sixx emphasized the importance of connecting with fans through music and the excitement of performing in outdoor venues during the summer. The tour aims to bring together fans of different bands and eras, creating a memorable experience for all attendees.
When asked if the extensive tour signifies a conclusion for MÖTLEY CRÜE, Sixx clarified that the summer tour allows band members to balance their music careers with family life. He expressed gratitude for being able to pursue various interests beyond music, such as his animation company. The upcoming tour is not viewed as a final chapter but rather as a joyful opportunity to perform and connect with fans during the summer season.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale soon, with VIP packages available for purchase. A portion of the ticket sales will be donated to the After School Arts Program (ASAP) through the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative, supporting arts programs for young individuals. The band's Las Vegas residency, initially postponed due to frontman Vince Neil's health issues, successfully took place from September to October, following Neil's recovery from a series of strokes.
