Mötley Crüe are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the iconic ‘Carnival of Sins’ Tour and the bands 45th anniversary. with a 33 date, re-imagined show with special guests Tesla the Band and Extreme.
Iconic rock band Mötley Crüe are on the road with the return of ‘Carnival of Sins’ Tour, a major 2026 North American tour celebrating two milestones: the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking 2005-2006 Carnival of Sins tour and the 45th anniversary of the band.
The run brings Mötley Crüe’s high-impact live show — renowned for its explosive production, unforgettable visuals, and decades-spanning catalog — to fans across the U.S. and Canada next summer.
Produced by Live Nation, the tour will stop in 33 cities across North America, including a show at Tampa's MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre on Saturday, August 15, featuring performances by very special guests Tesla and Extreme.
When the Carnival of Sins Tour first hit the road in 2005, it wasn’t just a concert — it was a full-scale production that pushed the limits of live shows. It combined grit, humor, and high-voltage energy with elaborate staging and a sense of chaos that only Mötley Crüe could pull off. Two decades later, fans will have the chance to experience The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins as Mötley Crüe revisits one of the most memorable live tours of their storied career with a reimagined show and updated setlist.
“Bringing back the spirit of Carnival of Sins has been a blast, and we wanted to take it even further for its 20th anniversary. 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,” Mötley Crüe said in a joint statement.
