Mötley Crüe performed the second show of their "The Return Of Carnival Of Sins" tour on Saturday 18 July at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien Center, New York. The tour marks the 20th anniversary of the band's original 2005-2006 "Carnival Of Sins" run and the group's 45th anniversary overall, forming part of a wider return to the road for the veteran rock act.

The 33-city, Live Nation-produced tour features support from Extreme and Tesla, and includes a 17-song set spanning classics such as "Wild Side", "Home Sweet Home", "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Kickstart My Heart", alongside rarer cuts like "Take Me To The Top" and "Too Young To Fall In Love". Bassist Nikki Sixx has said the band wants to balance crowd-pleasing hits with deeper album tracks, and possibly let fans vote on setlist choices as the tour progresses. Mötley Crüe has also pledged to donate $1 from every ticket sold to the After School Arts Program via its Giveback Initiative.
