Watch: MÖTLEY CRÜE Performs In Darien Center, New York During ‘The Return Of Carnival Of Sins’ Tour
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.

Explained simply
Mötley Crüe are an American rock band that became one of the most commercially successful and visually distinctive acts in heavy metal history after rising to prominence in the 1980s. The band earned international fame through energetic performances, guitar-driven rock music, and a deliberately provocative public image that attracted a devoted global fanbase.
The group disbanded in 2015 but has occasionally reunited for performances since then, making extensive touring uncommon in recent years. Their current tour, "The Return Of Carnival Of Sins," marks the 20th anniversary of a tour with the same name from 2005-2006, as well as the band's 45th anniversary overall.
For fans who grew up with Mötley Crüe's music during its commercial peak, this tour represents a rare opportunity to see them perform live. The reunion is taking place across multiple cities in North America with support from other established rock acts.
