Last month, Mötley Crüe, confirmed long-speculated news: Mick Mars was retiring from touring due to the guitarist's "ongoing painful struggle with Ankylosing Spondylitis (A.S.)." To fill his place, the glam-metal stalwarts recruited John 5, who's known for playing in Rob Zombie's band since 2005. 

Now, the Crüe have announced their first shows with their new touring guitarist holding the ax. On February 10th and 11th of 2023, the band will be playing with Def Leppard at the Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena in Atlantic City, New Jersey. 

Pre-sale tickets are available here, while general on sale tickets go live Friday December 2nd. See the official show flier below.
