In 2015, legendary heavy metal band Mötley Crüe announced that they were done with touring and making music for good. They even signed a ‘Cessation of Touring Agreement’ much to the dismay of fans worldwide.
After 34 years in the music industry, and selling over 100 million records worldwide, the band felt it was time to take a step back.
However, the Hall of Fame rockers came out of retirement in 2023 with a blockbuster stadium tour. The tour included a 20-date European leg and a 5-date UK leg.
The tour was co-headlined alongside British heavy metal pioneers, Def Leppard, who are also Hall of Famers in their own right, having sold over 25 million records worldwide.

When did Def Leppard & Mötley Crüe last tour?
Mötley Crüe's last tour before this, titled simply ‘The Final Tour’, took place in 2014. It consisted of 158 dates all over the world, including a massive headline show at Download Festival in the UK.
The tour ended with 3 nights at the Staples Centre in the band's hometown of LA. After an almost 10-year hiatus, fans in the UK will be thrilled to get the chance to see the ‘Too Fast for Love’ singers again.
Def Leppard's last tour happened more recently, in 2019. The Sheffield-born metal band played 42 shows in 14 different countries, including a headline appearance at Download Festival at Castle Donnington.
Are Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe releasing new music?
Mötley Crüe haven't released any new music since they produced 4 new songs for the soundtrack to their 2018 biopic, ‘The Dirt’. The band hasn't released a studio album in 15 years, since the release of Saints of Los Angeles in 2008.
However, bassist Nicki Sixx has stated that he would like to release another Motley Crüe album in the future. Speaking on SiriusXM Sixx stated: “I would love to make some music with the guys again”. So, while nothing has been officially confirmed new music could be on the way.
