Mötley Crüe Postpone Stadium Tour To Summer 2021

Unsurprisingly, Mötley Crüe's colossal stadium tour with Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett has been moved back to summer 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Before it even began (the first planned date being June 21 in Texas), the tour had already grossed a whopping $130 million with over one million tickets sold. Now, though, these million fans are going to have to wait until next year to catch the Crüe on their returning run.

"We wanted to continue to communicate with our fans and update you with valid information as it becomes available," the band say.

"The official decision has been made to move all 2020 North American Stadium Tour dates into the summer of 2021. The new stadium dates are being rescheduled, your tickets will be honored for all postponed shows and refund policy information will be made available shortly. Stay tuned, be safe and we will see you next year."

Announcing their return late last year, Mötley Crüe said in a statement:

“Almost six years after signing a Cessation of Touring agreement, the contract is off the table because a whole new generation of Crüeheads are relentlessly demanding for the band to come back together. Following the huge success of their Netflix biopic The Dirt, Mötley Crüe has seen a massive surge in new audience. And the band best known for breaking the rules has destroyed their cessation of touring contract in true Mötley Crüe-fashion, by literally blowing it up.

“After 35 years together onstage, and 30 years since the release of Dr. Feelgood, the members of Mötley Crüe parted ways without speaking to each other after their Final Show on December 31, 2015.

“Vince, Nikki, Mick and Tommy didn’t come together again until 2018 to participate in the making of The Dirt movie, which unexpectedly brought them closer together again including seeing them head back into the recording studio after having gone in their own directions for several years. The fuse was lit.”
