Crue Fest 2 Lineup Announced

What better way to announce a tour than to stop New York City traffic riding around in an ambulance to Fuse studios outside of MSG. Motley Crue arrived at their press conference in a Dr. Feelgood era ambulance accompanied by scantily clad nurses. Also in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their first #1 album, the band will be playing Dr. Feelgood from beginning to end every night of Crue Fest 2 in addition to all their hits and songs off of their new album “Saints of Los Angeles”.

The lineup this year will feature Motley Crue, Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Drowning Pool, and Nikki Sixx’s new proteges, Charm City Devils. At the press conference, Motley Crue debuted a new music video featuring members of all five Crue Fest 2 bands performing the single “White Trash Circus”, which hit radio today. Accompanying the band on stage were Sully Erna of Godsmack, Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman, Ryan McCombs of Drowning Pool and John Allen of Charm City Devils.

The tour starts off on July 19th in Camden, NJ tours and finishes on September 5th in Darien Lake, NY. Tickets go onsale March 20th and 21st. Check out www.CrueFest2.com and www.Motley.com for exact on-sale information and for tickets. There’s also a tour hotline with extra details that you can reach by calling 818.748.9075. Presale tickets to Citi cardholders are available tomorrow March 17th at 10am local time.

Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx says, “This is what we imagined when we came up with the idea of Crue Fest last summer - putting together the most kick ass bands on one bill for a day of rock. All of the bands on this tour complement the others — musically, theatrically and passionately.”

Theory of A Deadman’s Tyler Connolly states, “This Saints of Los Angeles tour with Motley Crue 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. We so look forward to Crue Fest 2 this summer and are honoured to be a part of the best f#@%in’ tour this summer. Period!”

Ryan McCombs from Drowning Pool notes, “Drowning Pool has been touring straight through for the past two years and we are psyched to bring a kick ass show to these crowds on the ultimate rock festival.”

Charm City Devils’ John Allen says, “We are so lucky that Nikki Sixx has taken Charm City Devils under his wicked yet brilliant wing and is allowing us to share the same stage with this incredible bill just as our record, Let’s Rock -n- Roll is hitting on Eleven Seven Music.”
