1980-luvun glam heavyn veteraanit Mötley Crüe ja Poison suuntaavat yhdessä tien päälle Amerikassa heinäkuussa 2020. Mötley Crüelle kyseessä ovat ensimmäiset esiintymiset yhtyeen kuuluisan The Final Tourin päätyttyä vuoden 2015 lopussa. Poison on kiertänyt viime vuosikymmenen aikana harvakseltaan ja edellisen kerran kesällä 2018. Kolmantena yhtyeenä rundilla nähdään Def Leppard sekä illat avaava Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.
Mötley Crüen Nikki Sixx kommentoi yhtyeen paluupäätöstä:
Honestly, I don’t think any of us thought, when we were on ’The Final Tour’, we would ever get back together. We weren’t really getting along at that point. We had been together 35 years, and it had been a lot of years on the road. I don’t think we took a lot of time for ourselves off; we were just constantly touring for all that time. And when it came to the end, we broke the band up and everybody went their own ways. I think we really needed that break, and it was during the making of ’The Dirt’ movie, we started working on the script, started being on the set, we started hanging out again together. And I think we really started to realize — without even talking about the music — how much we missed each other. And then that got us to go in the recording studio, which is where the whole thing always starts for all of us. And we wrote a bunch of new music, and had a blast in the studio. And then the movie took off. And our fans were super stoked, but we also got a new generation of people. And that kind of started the conversation. But it really was from the heart. We missed each other, to be honest with you, and we missed being in a band together.
