Mötley Crüe remain one of the most recognizable hard rock names for U.S. fans. After closing their Australian run with a show in Toowoomba at Heritage Bank Stadium on May 2, 2025, the band currently has no officially listed new tour dates on major ticket platforms.

Last confirmed Australian stadium date

The most recent substantial live listing for Mötley Crüe appears in Australia, where local coverage and venue listings show the group on a 2025 stadium tour with a stop at Heritage Bank Stadium in Toowoomba on May 2, 2025.

This date was presented as part of a larger run including other Australian cities, underscoring the band’s ongoing ability to draw large crowds outside North America.

Current tour status for U.S. fans

As of mid-2026, major U.S. ticketing and live-listing platforms do not display newly announced future dates for Mötley Crüe, meaning American fans currently have no on-sale concerts to target for late 2026 or 2027.

The pause comes after several years of high-profile touring, including the co-headlining stadium run with Def Leppard, and suggests a regrouping phase before any next U.S. leg is confirmed.
