'Crüe Fest 2008' DVD Coming In March

February 21, 2009

A two-disc DVD set containing footage from last year's inaugural edition of MÖTLEY CRÜE's own festival-style package tour Crüe Fest is scheduled for release on March 24. The set will reportedly contain the full CRÜE concert from on August 28, 2008 at Toronto, Ontario, Canada's Molson Amphitheatre along with select tracks from the other bands that took part in the festival — BUCKCHERRY, PAPA ROACH, TRAPT and SIXX: A.M. The DVD is also expected to include several official CRÜE music videos. More information will be made available soon.

MÖTLEY CRÜE will make an official announcement for this summer's Crüe Fest on Monday, March 16. Until then, the official Crüe Fest 2web site is hosting the countdown clock. Additionally, a hotline has been established. Fans can call 818-748-9075 to hear a pre-recorded message from CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx. Long-distance charges apply.

While last year's lineup featured PAPA ROACH, BUCKCHERRY, and TRAPT in addition to the CRÜE, drummer Tommy Lee told The Pulse of Radio that he'd like to shake things up this time around: "ROB ZOMBIE's name came up, GODSMACK, ALICE COOPER ... I know there's been a few names flying around, but no disrespect with the last lineup, I thought it was, you know, really great, but I'd like to see it just change slightly. I don't know about you, but it's a little hard for me personally to sit there and listen to, you know, six hours of kind of the same music. Just a little bit more variety could be kind of fun to inject into that."

MÖTLEY CRÜE kicked off a new North American arena tour on February 2 in San Diego, with HINDER, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, and newcomers THE LAST VEGAS also on the bill. The trek will last through March 18, when it winds down in Portland, Maine.
