Nikki Says Motley Crue To Start Rehearsals In May

Detailing Motley Crue’s Stadium Tour, Nikki said that Motley Crue to start rehearsals next May. He also admitted that he looks forward to playing live on stage in front of Motley Crue fans.

“We restart designing the show in April,” Nikki adds. “It’s basically designed, but there’s some new technology that happened in the last few years we might wanna involve. And then we’ve already got our set — it’s done — so it’s not like we have to have that meeting where it’s, like, ‘I wanna play this song’ or ‘I wanna play this song.’ Everybody agreed on these songs, and it’s a really cool set, and there’s some medleys in it.

“We start band rehearsals in May. I don’t know what that looks like. We like to rehearse for three or four weeks.

“Even if we have four weeks and we’re pretty tight at three weeks, sometimes you lose a day here and there — a guy gets sick or someone’s car breaks down — so we always [give ourselves] four weeks.

“And then we go to Atlanta where the tour opens and we do pre-production with everybody on the bill and we set the show up and tear the show down so it all fits. And then June 19th, I think, the tour starts. And I can’t wait.”
