Mötley Crüe and Alice Cooper will tour Australia in May.
For Mötley Crüe, this will be the last time they tour Australia. The band will disband after the last show of 2015 on December 30 in Los Angeles. Unlike many other bands who mount a final tour before their next final tour the members of Mötley Crüe have made this ending legally binding,
According to promoter Live Nation, in January 2014, all four original members gathered to sign a binding ‘Cessation Of Touring’ agreement taking effect at the end of 2015 before a press conference in their hometown of Los Angeles and announcing the global two-year Final Tour. A year later, on January 20, 2015 in New York City, the band announced Mötley Crüe’s highly anticipated final live performance of the band to take place at LA’s Staples Centre on New Year’s Eve 2015. The 2014 portion of ‘The Final Tour’ was one of last year’s top grossing US tours, selling close to a million tickets across 72 cities and grossing more than $45 million USD.
“We can’t wait to celebrate 34 years of Mötley Crüe with our Australian fans and come over there one last time,” bass player Nikki Sixx said in a statement. :We always have an amazing time in Australia and we’re not holding back either… we are bringing along our full production including the Crüecifly drum coaster, as well as the pyro and every other bell and whistle.”
