MÖTLEY CRÜE & LIVE NATION? - Apr. 14, 2008

MÖTLEY CRÜE is expected to make an important announcement in Los Angeles tomorrow (Tuesday, April 15), and sources have told Pollstar.com what that big announcement is.

MÖTLEY CRÜE is expected to be the next 360-deal signing to Live Nation Artists, adding to the pool that includes MADONNA and, presumably, JAY-Z. At least that's the word at press time. No further details were available.

The CRÜE recently denied a post at Robin Leach's Las Vegas gossip blog which suggested that the band had signed a three-album, three-tour deal with Live Nation for $100 million. Although the source of the rumor was reportedly singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx said in a statement, "MÖTLEY CRÜE has not signed any deals to tour or record whatsoever. Any information to the contrary is 100 percent incorrect."

The first **rumored and unconfirmed** dates have been leaked for the "Cruefest" tour, featuring MÖTLEY CRÜE alongside several other bands, including BUCKCHERRY, PAPA ROACH and SIXX: A.M.. They are as follows:

Jul. 01 - Cruzan Amphitheatre - West Palm Beach, FL
Jul. 03 - Ford Amphitheatre - Tampa, FL
Jul. 05 - Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre - Charlotte, NC
Jul. 08 - Nikon at Jones Beach Theater - Wantagh, NY
Jul. 13 - Nissan Pavilion - Bristow, VA
Jul. 24 - Superpages.com Center - Dallas, TX
Jul. 27 - Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre - Englewood, CO
Aug. 02 - Glen Helen Pavilion - Devore, CA
Aug. 08 - White River Amphitheater - Seattle, WA
Aug. 23 - PNC Bank Arts Center - Holmdel, NJ
Aug. 31 - Post Gazette Pavilion At Star Lake - Pittsburgh, PA

***Important***: The above-listed tour dates should be treated as a rumor only until officially confirmed by MÖTLEY CRÜE and its management.

	It's odd to me how bands like Motley Crue can't grasp the concept of information leaking at such a rapid rate due to the internet. The minute a "rumor" gets out, they seem to have to do damage control only because they were not the source of the news. Anyone else realize this? I also like how Blabbermouth is trying to prevent any damage to themselves with the disclaimers.

	COMMENT \| The recording industry as we knew it is officially over! posted by : TruthIsParamount 4/14/2008 8:18:25 PM

	These 360 deals where records, publishing, touring, merchandising and other business ventures are all tied into each other are the future. Live Nation are gonna be THE biggest entity in the biz and they will be pissing on every remaining major label before too soon if they're not already.

	COMMENT \| Crue! Crue! Crue! posted by : RiotAct666 4/14/2008 8:19:20 PM

	I'll be checking it out tomorrow for sure. Also heard the new song on the radio today. Vince sounded good , Nikki , Tommy , Mick all were solid as well. Can't wait for the CD to come out this July.

	COMMENT \| The Crue return posted by : proudlikeagod 4/14/2008 9:04:54 PM

	While I doubt their new CD will be earth shattering it's always great to have the original Crue back. Love them or hate them, at least you are talking about them. I will be buying my ticket and enjoying their show. Talk shit about them all you want, it won't make a bit of difference. And to the haters: how's YOUR band doing these days?

	TruthIsParamount is 100% correct. i've been talking about these deals for awhile. the independents are far behind, some already starting. illegal downloading and tough economic times have forced the issue.

	the independent are NOT far behind......sorry

	COMMENT \| will this album be as good as "Generation Swine" ? posted by : maniacal 4/14/2008 11:04:10 PM

	Nikki is a drama queen....he creates all this hype! detest the way he uses the media and treats the fans like they are idiots.

	COMMENT \| I think Nikki arranges the leaks posted by : jamiejade 4/15/2008 9:59:49 AM

	It's smart marketing. I also think the audio leak of the new single was from the Crue camp itself!
