Arriving in an ambulance à la Dr. Feelgood, Mötley Crüe held a press conference today at Fuse TV’s New York studios to announce who will accompany the band on its second annual Crüe Fest.
And what a lineup it is – Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Drowning Pool and Charm City Devils will cruise North America with Mötley Crüe , playing amphitheatres and giving audiences a good dose of old-fashioned mayhem. What’s more, the Crüe will play its first #1 album – Dr. Feelgood – in its entirety every night.
The tour was announced a few weeks ago, but the boys held back on the lineup until today’s press conference.
Arriving at Fuse TV in an ambulance accompanied by scantily clad nurses, the Crüe livened up an otherwise typical lunch hour in NYC. Theory of a Deadman’s Tyler Connolly, Drowning Pool’s Ryan McCombs and John Allen of the Charm City Devils joined the band at the press conference. All three vocalists appear in Crüe ’s new “White Trash Christmas” video as well as the single shipping to radio.
For Theory of a Deadman, Crüe Fest 2 means more cities, more hotels with Mötley Crüe. Theory is currently touring with Mötley and plays New York City’s Madison Square Garden tonight.
“This Saints of Los Angeles tour with Mötley Crüe has been, so far, the greatest rock experience for Theory of a Deadman, and I can happily say that they have been nothing but amazing to us," said Theory’s Connolly. “We so look forward to Crüe Fest 2 this summer and are honored to be part of the best f#@%in’ tour this summer. Period!”
Selected dates for Crüe Fest 2 go on sale to the public March 20 with the remaining dates going up on March 21. A Citi Private Pass presale for cardholders takes place on March 17. Crüe Fest 2 is a Live Nation tour, so you can also scope out ticket sales at the company’s Web site.
“This is what we imagined when we came up with the idea of Crüe Fest last summer – putting together the most kick ass bands on one bill for a day of rock,” said Nikki Sixx. “All the bands on this tour complement the others – musically, theatrically and passionately.”
