Mötley Crüe are headed back to where it all began.
The Crue will support their upcoming new EP, Cancelled, with a return to their old Sunset Strip stomping grounds as part of what they’re calling a Höllywood Takeöver.
The three gigs were teased over the Labor Day weekend when flyers promoting the gigs at The Roxy, Troubadour and Whiskey A Go Go popped up all over L.A.
Tickets for the gigs — October 7 at the Troubadour, October 9 at The Roxy and October 11 at the Whiskey a Go Go — will go on sale to the general public on Saturday, September 14, at 1PM ET exclusively at the box offices of the three venues as hard tickets only. Sales are limited to two tickets per person.
The three gigs will be in support of the October 4 release of their three-song EP, which features the new songs “Dogs of War” and the title track, as well as their rocked-up cover of the Beastie Boys’ beloved 1986 Billboard Hot 100 No. 7 hit “Fight For Your Right.”
Along with the club shows, the band will host a pop-up store with exclusive, band-curated merch slated to open on October 6 at another iconic Sunset Strip joint, the Rainbow Bar and Grill; the store will remain open through Oct. 12 from 3PM-midnight daily.
The Crüe announced a new philanthropic effort, the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative, which will have them partnering with several non-profits close to their hearts, including the teen homelessness organization Covenant House. An auction for two pair of tickets to the Troubadour show opened on Tuesday — click here to bid — and will be followed by another auction beginning on Sept. 30 featuring rare, stage-played collectible instruments from each of the three club shows.
The band — singer Vince Neil, drummer Tommy Lee, bassist Nikki Sixx and newest member, guitarist John 5 — will also host a charity dinner at the Rainbow on Oct. 8, with proceeds benefitting Covenant House.
