Breaking News: MÖTLEY CRÜE Is Back, Because You Clearly Didn’t Get Enough of Them the First Time Around 🤯
I just can’t even right now… MÖTLEY CRÜE played the second concert of their “The Return Of Carnival Of Sins” tour on Saturday night (July 18) at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien Center, New York, because apparently, the world was just missing that special brand of debauchery and hair metal 🤘. The trek celebrates the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2005-2006 “Carnival Of Sins” tour and the band’s 45th anniversary, because who doesn’t love a good excuse to party like it’s 1989? 🎉
According to Setlist.fm, MÖTLEY CRÜE’s setlist for the Darien Center show was a wild ride, featuring hits like “Red Hot”, “Louder Than Hell”, and “Wild Side”, as well as some deeper cuts like “Take Me To The Top” and “Primal Scream”. Because, you know, the fans were just dying to hear those songs again 🙄. The setlist also included a cover of BROWNSVILLE STATION’s “Smokin’ In The Boys Room”, because why not? 🤷♂️
The Return Of Carnival Of Sins: A Tour of Nostalgia and… Well, More Nostalgia
The 33-city Live Nation-produced tour features support acts EXTREME and TESLA, because the ’80s and ’90s are back, baby! 🎸. MÖTLEY CRÜE said that $1 from every ticket sold for “The Return Of Carnival Of Sins” will be donated to ASAP! (After School Arts Program) through the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative, because even rockstars need a little bit of goodwill to balance out all the debauchery 🙏.
In a recent interview with Jon Smith of the 103.5 The Arrow radio station, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx stated that the band is excited to play some of their hits, but also wants to mix it up with some deeper cuts. Because, you know, the fans are just dying to hear “On With The Show” from their first album 🙄. Sixx also mentioned that the band might ask the fans what they want to hear, because who needs a setlist when you can just crowdsource it? 🤷♂️
Vince Neil: The Man, the Myth, the Stroke Survivor
In September 2025, Vince Neil revealed that he had actually had a series of strokes before he suffered the “big one” in his sleep on Christmas night 2024, rendering him unable to get out of bed when he woke up the next day. Because, you know, rockstars are made of tougher stuff… or at least, that’s what they want you to think 🤕. When MÖTLEY CRÜE originally postponed their Las Vegas residency, the band said it was because Neil needed a “medical procedure”, but offered no further details. Because, you know, rockstars are always mysterious and never talk about their health issues… until they do 🤐.
In conclusion, MÖTLEY CRÜE is back, and they’re bringing their unique brand of hair metal and debauchery to a city near you. So, if you’re feeling nostalgic for the ’80s and ’90s, or just want to relive the glory days of rock ‘n’ roll, then this tour is for you 🤘. Just don’t forget to bring your earplugs, because it’s going to be a wild ride 🎸.
