Mötley Crüe signed a “cessation of touring” agreement prior to going out on their “farewell” tour some six years ago. Following the release of the Netflix movie, “The Dirt,” the band changed its plans and booked the much-anticipated Stadium Tour with Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. Following two postponements due to the global situation, the tour is finally set to take place this summer. Recently, Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx hinted at some setlist surprises for the tour in a post on Instagram.
“Early morning glasses club with Ruby!!-So happy to be home and missed @how2girl like crazy but I did have a successful time in LA working on new music with @fredcoury and seeing a few good friends,” he wrote. “Great to spend the evening with @tommylee discussing #TheStadiumTour. Wait til you see the setlist. Hits,deep tracks and some cool surprises.@motleycrue Look forward to seeing @thevinceneil & @mr.mickmars and the whole crew at rehearsals soon but right now we need to get back to Motown Magic and some waffles.”
Earlier, Mötley Crüe commented on the tour finally happening. “It’s on! We don’t think we’ve ever looked forward more to kicking off a tour than this one. We can’t wait to finally see all the fans across North America again. Get ready for a wild ride this summer!” Def Leppard singer Joe Elliot also said in a statement: “On behalf of the band, we’re beyond thrilled that the stadium tour is finally happening this summer. It’s been a while coming and we can’t wait to get back on stage again and we can’t wait to see you in one of the many stadiums soon!”
Poison’s Bret Michaels also added: “There are not enough words to thank the three generations of fans for making this such an exciting, record breaking, historical tour with the fastest sell outs in history at these stadiums.” Joan Jett commented: “We are so excited to be back out on the road! We missed doing what we love most and can’t wait to see the fans out there again!”
