Mötley Crüe have launched celebrations for their 45th anniversary with a major North American summer tour and a series of exclusive limited-edition releases. The band recently delivered a high-energy performance on the American Idol season finale alongside country superstar Carrie Underwood.
Mötley Crüe performed a powerful medley of their classic hits Home Sweet Home and Kickstart My Heart, as a duet with Underwood, the 8-time GRAMMY® Award winner and American Idol Judge. You can watch the performance below.
The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins Tour begins on 17 July 2026 and marks the band’s first extensive touring run in two years. The tour will visit 35 cities across North America and celebrates the 20th anniversary of the original Carnival Of Sins tour.
As part of the band’s Giveback Initiative, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to ASAP! (After School Arts Program) to support music and arts education for students. Tour tickets and VIP packages are available from motley.com/tour.
