M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce<\/a> recently announced a Summer 2026 North American tour<\/a> with strong support from Tesla and Extreme. However, bassist Nikki Sixx<\/a> reveals that the Cr\u00fce unsuccessfully tried to get a few other bands to reunite for the bill.<\/p>\n

The 33-city tour, dubbed \u201cThe Return of the Carnival of Sins,\u201d launches July 17th in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, and runs through a September 26th show in Ridgefield, Washington, with tickets available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Minnesota radio station 93X (as transcribed by Blabbermouth<\/a>), host Lyndsey Marie asked Sixx how the bill for the tour came together. \u201cIt\u2019s who\u2019s available, which is not easy,\u201d responded Sixx. \u201cAnd who\u2019s still around, which is really not easy. There\u2019s a few bands that we actually talked to about getting back together to do this tour with us, and there\u2019s a couple of bands I just couldn\u2019t get \u2019em to understand that it would be better for the fans than their egos. And so we try.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he didn\u2019t name any names, the most obvious band Sixx is likely referring to are Cr\u00fce contemporaries Skid Row. Egos have gotten in the way of the band reuniting with classic frontman Sebastian Bach, who has expressed interest in rejoining the group. Moreover, Skid Row haven\u2019t yet announced a new singer to replace their most recent vocalist, Erik Gr\u00f6nwall, who exited the band in 2024.<\/p>\n

Another band Sixx may have been alluding to is RATT, whose original members Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini have been playing shows together recently. And, less likely, Sum 41, who supported the original \u201cCarnival of Sins Tour\u201d that took place in 2005-2006. The Canadian punk band broke up earlier this year, although the split seemed amicable.<\/p>\n

Still, Sixx is excited about the 2026 bill, continuing, \u201cTesla and Extreme both were available, and we couldn\u2019t believe it. We were so happy because that\u2019s just \u2014 from the opening chords of Extreme to the last chords of M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, it\u2019s really good songwriting, and I just love good songs. Whether it\u2019s done Metallica style, Rammstein style, Norah Jones style \u2014 I don\u2019t care \u2014 Al Green style, M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce style, a great song is a great song. And it\u2019s just gonna be a night of just singing everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
