Legendary glam-metal rockers Mötley Crüe have officially announced their return to the road with a reimagined “Carnival of Sins” tour in summer 2026. The band is the first to be announced at the brand-new Long Beach Amphitheater, perched on the waterfront next to the iconic Queen Mary.
Mötley Crüe will perform at the Long Beach Amphitheater on September 19, 2026. That’s prime summer time vibes for an outdoor show set right on the shores of the downtown waterfront.
As the LBC’s first-ever outdoor amphitheater, the waterfront venue is designed to hold about 11,000 attendees with a variety of seating options: grandstand, floor, and box seating, plus a pit and VIP sections.
Mötley Crüe’s 2026 tour will celebrate two milestones for the iconic rockers: the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking 2005-2006 Carnival of Sins tour and the 45th anniversary of the band.
Additional tour stops on the Crüe’s 33-city run include shows in San Diego (Chula Vista), Cincinnati, Tampa, and more cities across the country. Special guests Tesla and Extreme will join Mötley Crüe on tour. See the full list of tour dates for a show near you!
