Get ready to rock out to MÖTLEY CRÜE's iconic sound once again! The legendary band is set to release a special EP, 'Live Wire', on April 18, 2026, as part of Record Store Day. This EP marks a significant moment in their history, as it's the first time the 'Live Wire' radio-only promo EP will be made available on 12-inch color vinyl with newly created cover art. It's been 45 years since the EP was last in print, and fans are in for a treat! The EP features two tracks: 'Live Wire' and 'Take Me To The Top' on Side A, and 'Merry-Go-Round' on Side B. But here's the intriguing part: 'Live Wire' carries a powerful message. In 2019, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx revealed that the song is about domestic violence, drawing from his personal experiences with his mother and stepdads. This EP is not just a nostalgic release but also a chance to explore the band's deeper lyrics. As if that's not enough, MÖTLEY CRÜE is gearing up for their highly anticipated 'The Return Of Carnival Of Sins' tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 'Carnival Of Sins' tour and their 45th anniversary as a band. The 33-city tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick off on July 17, 2026, in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, with support acts EXTREME and TESLA. The band is also committed to giving back, as they've pledged to donate $1 from every ticket sold to ASAP! (After School Arts Program) through the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative. Additionally, MÖTLEY CRÜE's Las Vegas residency, which was initially set for spring 2025, was postponed due to Vince Neil's health issues. Neil suffered a series of strokes, including a major one in his sleep, which left him bedridden. The band's resilience and dedication to their fans are truly remarkable. So, mark your calendars, rock out to 'Live Wire', and get ready for an unforgettable tour experience with MÖTLEY CRÜE!
