As reported & confirmed last week, Motley Crue have been offered a $150 Million reunion tour.
According to Rolling Stone, MÖTLEY CRÜE will hit the road next year for a U.S. tour with fellow hard rock acts POISON and DEF LEPPARD.
Sources have confirmed to the magazine that the three acts will perform at stadiums around the country.
The upcoming trek means that the four members of MÖTLEY CRÜE have collectively agreed to rip up the “cessation of touring” contract that they signed in 2014 preventing any of them from performing under the CRÜE name in the future.
In a new interview with Rock Talk with Mitch Lafon podcast with rock journalist Mitch Lafon, Bobby Blotzer discussed the Motley Crue reunion.
Lafon also mentioned a fourth band which will be added to the lineup.
Here’s the statement (Transcribed via Sleaze Roxx):
“And there is a rumored fourth band on the understanding that it’s going to be a different opener or different fourth band. You know, none of this has been announced officially but I’m sort of hearing and perhaps wrongly that it might be one band for three or four shows, another band for three. Who knows? We will see if it gets announced. Now, it’s all speculation so if you’re out there in internet land quoting me, make sure that you write that it’s speculation.”
When Bobby was asked about Motley Crue reunion, he said:
“But you know, Mötley getting together does zero for me. I couldn’t care less personally. But you know, bands get back together after breaking up, I mean, if it makes them happy — awesome. If the fans are happy, that’s what’s going to make them happy. You know, I understand. But it’s a very exciting tour. I don’t know who’s headlining. I’m sure that Poison is going on first. I don’t know if they’re flip-flopping with Leppard or what’s going on first but you know, good news for ’80s genre of metal and hard rock. I love it!”

How about Skid Row now that would be the icing on the cake… But I don’t think that’ll happen… Somebody needs to sit down with those guys and let them hash out all their issues and be like the arbitrator… I’m sure if they all got together with no managers or lawyers involved in 1 room with Rob Affuso and Sebastian and laid everything out and talked to each other about whatever the issues are a reunion would happen… Nothing against ZP or their current drummer those guys do a great job but fans wanna see the classic lineup reunite even if it’s just for I tour… There’s gotta be somebody out there that can make this happen…
I bet it’s MGK so they can do the Dirt live
At this point, these cats should be opening for Panther.
Add The Struts in there. They are the second wave of glam rock and this would be a perfect introduction to the fans of this kind of music… though if they haven’t stumbled onto them at a Foo Fighters, GnR, or Motley Crue concert already, they’re a little behind.
They can call it The Big Fat 4
Ratt please
Put Liliac on the bill and watch them blow them all away
Love Liliac….and you’re right….
Just send Liliac out on tour covering some songs from each band and adding their originals…would be a far better show
the dead and bloated tour 2020. yawn. glad I saw these bands when it mattered.
Then be on ur way. Yawn.
no worries, Ann Marie. I, like most of their original fans, am long gone already. I just popped by to mock these overweight has beens. enjoy your too old to rock tour. or is it the too fat to sing tour? the divorcing another trophy wife that wasn’t even born when their band started tour? the state fair only tour? the what happened to our groupies tour? them and you, yawn.
I heard vince has to lose 40 pounds to comply with the tour contract. I hope he doesn’t and has to cancel
Tesla would be a great band for the tour but they should not ba a opening act for sure.
Just seen a add about Tesla coming. maybe! Your thought there might just happen definitely heck of a show
Poison should open and Tesla take there spot lol
Yes
Call it the Depends, Geritol tour 2020
You guys are aiming so low with your suggestions of Ratt, Skid Row and Steel Panther. How about another big band to make it worth re-growing the ol’ mullet?! Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Van Halen, Journey, Aerosmith, Kiss, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake, Scorpions. Why not aim big? But you know how life is, we’ll probably end up with the likes of Faster Pussycat, Wasp or Stryper, ha!
Absolutely Any one would be a great addition.
Spread Eagle, Winger, Slaughter, Dokken, Kixx, not in particular order 🙂
for the girls girls girls tour it was White Snake and poison who opened… why not just add White Snake again or Lita Ford or Vixen if they still perform
Theresapop Whitesnake.
Throw poison out and I may go. Only reason I would go is Def Leppard. Crue hasn’t done anything good since Shout at the Devil
No dates yet ?
