Def Leppard, Motley Crue Announce Destination Festival

Well this is new and out of the blue. Rock the Tides fest will take place November 7-9 in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The event is a destination festival with everything happening at an all-inclusive resort called Barcelo Riviera Maya. I've never been to that resort, but I have been to the area of Mexico a few times. Very beautiful water. 

In addition to headliners Motley and Leppard, Bret Michaels, Dorothy, Extreme and more will perform. Looking at packages online, it seems to be around $3k or $4k a person on double occupancy. Not cheap for three days in Mexico, but you're paying for the entertainment! I'm sure this will sell-out pretty quickly, assuming people still have jobs and/or savings considering the way the economy is looking these days. Pre-sale starts next week. If you are attending this, please let me know in the comments!

Turning out to be a busy year for Motley Crue, isn't it?!?

Holy Crap, Tomorrow Is Record Store Day!

If it wasn't for the sponsored Motley Crue ad below that popped up in my feed, I would have completely forgotten about Record Store Day this year. I've got so much going on, it just slipped my mind - but the big event is tomorrow! I want to give my favorite local shop, Omega Music, some love!

Illness Cancels Motley Crue's Boardwalk Rock Performance

Alice in Chains will now headline Boardwalk Rock in place of Motley Crue. Motley Crue pulled out of the fest due to Vince Neil's medical condition - which is still undisclosed, as is his right. I just hope he is okay or at least on the mend from whatever ails him.

Boardwalk Rock takes place this May in Ocean City, Maryland. Tickets are on sale now - details in poster below.

Motley Crue Residency Dates Moved

Vince Neil needs a medical procedure. Because of this, Motley Crue's Las Vegas residency will now start in September instead of later this month. That doesn't give folks who already bought flights and hotels much time to change things around, but it is what it is I guess.

The residency will take place at Dolby Live Park MGM. New show dates are listed below.

Vince Neil - Motley Crue Statement On Plane Crash

I was on the treadmill last night when I saw the news of a Lear jet crash at Scottsdale airport. Like everyone else, I thought "Another one?" and then I saw that one of the aircraft involved is owned by Vince Neil.

Obviously I was pretty concerned and assumed the worst. As I kept refreshing socials for what felt like forever, I was finally relieved to learn that Vince wasn't on the plane at the time of the crash. His girlfriend Rain Hannah was and she did get hurt with non-life-threatening injuries. Sadly, a pilot was killed and another injured.
