With an ‘all killer: no filler’ greatest hits set of Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Poison, Whitesnake and all their hard-rockin’ amigos, King Awesome hold their crowds in the palm of their leather-gloved hands and partying like it’s 1989!

Established in 2015, Mötley Crüde is Europe’s longest running Motley Crüe tribute band, and crowned winners of the world’s most authentic tribute to Mötley Crüe, as voted by the official Mötley Crüe global fanclub.
In 2023, the band became the first tribute act in history to sell out the iconic ‘Underworld’ venue in Camden, London, UK on presales alone, equalling that of the real Mötley Crüe who sold out the same venue just 6 months prior in a secret show under the name Dögs Öf War.
Lifelong Mötley Crüe fans, Mötley Crüde are unparalleled in their attention to detail when recreating what they believe to be the four most iconic and best loved Mötley Crüe eras (1983’s Shout At The Devil, 1985’s Theatre of Pain, 1987’s Girls, Girls Girls & 1989’s Dr. Feelgood) with costumes, instruments and performances replicated in minute detail, which are to date replicated by no other Mötley Crüe tribute.
2025 sees the band embark on a nationwide tour named ‘Decade of Decadence’ to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, with a full 2-hour show of the hits as well as fan favourite album tracks. So prepare to relive the Sunset Strip glory days as Mötley Crüde brings you a night of non-stop anthems, face-melting riffs, and enough anarchy to make even Nikki Sixx proud. Dust off your leather jackets, tease up your hair, and get ready to scream your lungs
out as Mötley Crüde takes you all the way to the top of the mountain … and then throws you off just for kicks.
