Tesla Announces Summer ’26 Dates With Motley Crue, Extreme

By: Philip Sayblack

​Tesla will serve as support for Motley Crue’s “The Return of Carnival of Sins Tour” next summer.
The band made the announcement Friday through a news release. According to the release, the band will share time with Extreme as support for the tour, which is scheduled to kick off July 17 in Burgettstown, PA and to run through Sept. 26 in Ridgefield, WA. The tour includes stops in Charlotte, NC; Dallas, TX and Wheatland, CA.
Bassist Brian Wheat discussed joining the tour in a prepared statement:
“We’re  looking forward to playing this summer with the legendary Motley Crue and Extreme,” Wheat said. “We played with Motley Crue way back in 1990 on the “Dr. Feelgood” tour and had a blast. The shows were off the hook. Now we are playing this summer and Extreme is joining us as well. I believe the shows will be a complete “hard rockin”, song filled rock n’ roll extravanganza!”
Ahead of that tour, Tesla still has a handful of dates coming up for its own headlining “Keepin’ It Real Tour.” Tickets are available here. The tour’s remaining dates are noted below along with the schedule for the band’s tour with Motley Crue and Extreme.
