MÖTLEY CRÜE's 'Crüe Fest' Announcement Coming Mid-March
February 10, 2009MÖTLEY CRÜE will make an official announcement for this summer's Crüe Fest — the second edition of the CRÜE's own festival-style package tour — on Monday, March 16. Until then, the official Crüe Fest 2web site is hosting the countdown clock. Additionally, a hotline has been established. Fans can call 818-748-9075 to hear a pre-recorded message from CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx. Long-distance charges apply.
While last year's lineup featured PAPA ROACH, BUCKCHERRY, and TRAPT in addition to the CRÜE, drummer Tommy Lee told The Pulse of Radio that he'd like to shake things up this time around: "ROB ZOMBIE's name came up, GODSMACK, ALICE COOPER ... I know there's been a few names flying around, but no disrespect with the last lineup, I thought it was, you know, really great, but I'd like to see it just change slightly. I don't know about you, but it's a little hard for me personally to sit there and listen to, you know, six hours of kind of the same music. Just a little bit more variety could be kind of fun to inject into that."
MÖTLEY CRÜE kicked off a new North American arena tour on February 2 in San Diego, with HINDER, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, and newcomers THE LAST VEGAS also on the bill. The trek will last through March 18, when it winds down in Portland, Maine.
