The select new shows will take place in October and December as part of the band\u2019s two year Final Tour cycle. M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce\u2019s touring career will conclude on New Year\u2019s Eve, December 31 at Staples Center in their hometown of Los Angeles where the band\u2019s career began 34 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Says bassist Nikki Sixx: \u201cThe demand to add more shows in North America has been overwhelming. The fans have spoken so we\u2019ve been trying to find time for more dates in addition to the international dates on the schedule this year. We want to say goodbye to as many fans as possible so we added these shows around the holidays. No better way to spend them than with the people who have supported us over all these years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new North American shows announced today will see the band visit cities such as Little Rock, AR and Lincoln, NE in the US and Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon in Canada. All dates will be taking place in arenas exclusively to ensure fans get to experience the full show production of the Final Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Leading-up to today\u2019s announcement, M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce gave fans an opportunity to voice their thoughts on what additional cities they would like to see the band play. Fans shared their messages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #DemandtheCrue and could see the progress of the conversation via a heat map that was updated daily at: Motley.com\/DemandTheCrue<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/motley_crue1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/motley_crue1-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"motley_crue\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-43536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/motley_crue1-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/motley_crue1.jpg 319w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\nAfter thirty-four years performing together, the 2015 leg of the Final Tour includes shows all across the globe. Next up, M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce will head over to Australia and New Zealand in May for their last ever shows there. June will see the band saying farewell to the European festival circuit with 3 massive performances at Download (UK), Sweden Rock (Sweden) and Novarock (Austria) Festivals before taking their can\u2019t-miss show back to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico this summer.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce first announced plans for their two year Final Tour by signing a Cessation Of Touring Agreement at a press conference in Los Angeles in January 2014, solidifying the end of their touring career for December 2015. Since the announcement the band has been touring tirelessly to say goodbye to fans around the world, most recently playing their final shows in Japan.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Motleyoldschool.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Motleyoldschool-210x300.jpg\" alt=\"Motleyoldschool\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-43534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Motleyoldschool-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Motleyoldschool.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe 2014 leg of the Final Tour was one of last year\u2019s top grossing tours, selling close to a million tickets across 72 cities and grossing more than $45 million. \u201cM\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce\u2019s Final Tour has been a massive global success and a true testament to the popularity of this legendary rock band,\u201d says Rick Franks, Live Nation\u2019s Regional President of North American Concerts. \u201cNew Year\u2019s Eve 2015 will mark the end of an era in rock history but there\u2019s no doubt that M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce\u2019s music will influence generations of artists for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Audiences can also expect a high-energy performance from very special guest Alice Cooper, who joined the band for the Final Tour in 2014. He will be tearing up the stage for crowds across North America once again on most 2015 dates.
