Today, the Keystone Centre has confirmed that 80s metal band Mötley Crüe will be playing the Wheat City on May 6th, 2013, along with special guests Big Wreck.This tour “marks the most expansive run of Canada in the band’s history,” accommodating a total of 18 show dates everywhere from Vancouver to Quebec. After performing in Estevan on May 4th, the band will visit Brandon before moving on to Winnipeg the following day, and continue sweeping across Canada.This news comes only a week after rumors of rock band KISS stopping in Brandon surfaced early last week, giving fans a chance to lick their wounds and celebrate the arrival of another quartet of legendary musicians.

Formed in California in 1980, Mötley Crüe has since been described as the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band. Having sold more than 80 million albums internationally, the band has been commandeered for over 30 years by members Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, and Vince Neil.

Tickets are available online, by phone or in person at the Box Office starting at 10:00 am on March 1st.
