Mötley Crüe to go into hiatus in 2027

Motley Crue is considering taking a long sabbatical when their 2026 tour ends, according to Nikki Sixx, as per UCR. He was asked if Motley Crue had any intentions to play Japan in a recent social media exchange with supporters.

Don’t know if I’ll ever tour there again. I love Japan but after these 33 shows [the U.S. tour] our contract’s up and we will need some real time off to decide what we do or do not wanna do in the future.

When another fan inquired about Motley Crue‘s plans to return to Argentina, Sixx responded similarly, stating that the band is “book(ed) all this year” and will be taking “next year off.“
