Australian Mötley Crüe Show
🎸 When 1987 stumbles into 2026 and refuses to leave! 🎸
This isn’t a tribute show ticket…. It’s your permission slip. Fast riffs. Big hooks. Zero regrets. One night of bad behaviour 🔥 This is not a seated nostalgia night. There is no arena distance and there is no nostalgia polish.
This is a stand-up, shout-it-out, spill-your-drink kind of show with fists up, screamed choruses and where bad decisions are encouraged!
From Shout at the Devil to Girls, Girls, Girls, Dr Feelgood and Kickstart My Heart, this is a celebration of excess, danger, and the songs that made rock music feel untouchable.
