Announcing CRUE FEST 2: The White Trash Circus


Motley Crue (2008) Mötley Crüe, along with some of rock's top touring acts, will hit the road again this summer for Crüe Fest 2: The White Trash Circus. The Live Nation produced tour will visit cities across North America beginning July 19th in Camden, NJ through September 5th in Darien Lake, NY. Full tour details, including the line up, will be revealed at a major press conference broadcast from FUSE TV studios in New York on March 16th, before Mötley Crüe hits the stage at Madison Square Garden that evening.

Crüe Fest 2 pre sale tickets will be available exclusively to Mötley Crüe fan club members beginning on February 25th. Beginning on March 2nd, pre sale tickets will be available to the public. Fans can go to www.cruefest2.com for all pre sale information.

Last summer's multi-artist inaugural Crüe Fest was the most successful touring rock festival of the summer season. Crüe Fest was also the number ten tour overall for the summer of 2008, according to Rolling Stone. Featuring Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt, the festival played for nearly half a million rock fans to Live Nation amphitheaters and arenas in 40 cities across North America. Says Mötley's Tommy Lee, "Last year at Crüe Fest, we set out to have more fun than humans are allowed to have. We succeeded beyond that. This year, we are going to top that and I guarantee we will."

As part of the robust integrated marketing and partnerships, the activities surrounding the announcement of this year's line-up and ticket on-sale include launch parties in local venues and in-theater special screenings of a performance documentary on Crüe Fest 1, which will also be released on DVD on March 24th. More details on all of these activities are available at www.motley.com.
