Motley Crüe will play Scotiabank Place in Ottawa on May 14. Lock up your daughters.
Motley Crüe — the group that personifies almost every cliche of decadent rock and roll bands — is returning to Ottawa.
The biggest Canadian tour in the U.S. band’s history will stop at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa on Tuesday, May 14. Big Wreck is the opening act. It will be the final show of an 18-stop tour of the country.
The Los Angeles band, including Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Nikki Six and Mick Mars, reached its zenith with the 1989 album Dr. Feelgood, which had hits with the title track, Kickstart My Heart and Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away).
In 2001 the band released a group autobiography titled The Dirt, and it confirmed the Crüe’s reputation for outrageous behaviour, with a heady mix of sex, death and trashed flats or hotel rooms.
Tickets for the May 14 show are $49.50 to $59.50, plus the usual array of “service” charges, and they go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, March 1, through capitaltickets.ca or livenation.com. They’re also available through the Bank box office, the Sens Store or Sports Experts stores.
