Mötley Crüde

A tribute show by Mötley Crüde, a band that performs the music of Mötley Crüe, with Sven Smith also named as a performer. The production is called The Dirt Tour and covers several countries.

Mötley Crüde is a tribute act, not the original Mötley Crüe. Its four members, who perform under the first names Nikki, Vince, Mick and Tommy, recreate the 1980s catalogue of the American band, drawing on songs from Shout at the Devil, Theatre of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls and Dr. Feelgood. The group has been performing together for ten years and was voted the most authentic Mötley Crüe tribute by the official Mötley Crüe fan club.

The live show aims at note-for-note accuracy, with vintage-era costumes and gear and a sound intended to reflect the raw energy of the original band's wildest years. The Dirt Tour takes the production across the UK, parts of Europe, the United States and Australia, and fans have described it as a stadium-scale show staged in club venues.

In London the show is held at The Underworld in Camden, a venue that hosts concerts and shows. Mötley Crüde became the first tribute act to sell out the venue on presales alone, a feat matching that of the original band, which had sold out the same room in a secret show under the name Dögs Öf War.
