Fans that can’t wait for this weekend's online sale can get their tickets early by going to TheRockvine.com
On-site activities will include a 2nd “Stage” presented by Rock Band (the game) where fans attending the show can play the part of “rock star” while playing the game. A special Crüe Fest CD featuring tracks from all of the bands on the tour will be available exclusively at Best Buy beginning June 17th.
Mötley Crüe also announced the upcoming release of Saints of Los Angeles, their first new studio album recorded with all of the original band members in over a decade, hitting stores on June 17th.
