Motley Crue will take a second pass through North American during a massive late-summer/early fall leg of shows that now graces the group's 2005 reunion tour itinerary.


After posting strong sales for its first swing through North America--which kicked off earlier this month--the band has now added a 47-city stretch that begins on the West Coast in late July and runs until mid-October. Details are shown in the itinerary below.
Concertgoers can expect to hear many of the Crue's hits, as well as a number of songs "the band has either never played live, or has not played live in many years," according to the group's website.


The tour--Motley Crue's first since 1999 to feature the four original members: Nikki Sixx (bass), Mick Mars (guitar), Tommy Lee (drums) and Vince Neil (vocals)--follows the Feb. 1 release of "Red, White & Crue," a two-disc best-of set that features 37 tracks, including three new songs: "If I Die Tomorrow," "Sick Love Song" and a cover of The Rolling Stones' "Street Fighting Man." The album sold more than 90,000 copies during its first week in stores, and debuted at No. 6 on The Billboard 200 album chart.


In addition to its tour schedule, the Crue's plans also include a Thursday (3/3) appearance on "Live with Regis and Kelly." The group can also be seen on an upcoming VH1 special titled "The Fabulous Life of Motley Crue," which debuts Wednesday (3/2) night, and will re-air several times in March. A schedule is posted at the Crue's website.


Known for their internal squabbles, the members of Motley Crue have stayed busy with side projects since splitting up in 1999: Lee recently released an autobiography titled "Tommyland," and is scheduled to star in a new NBC reality program that will debut this year; Sixx has been touring and recording with his post-Motley outfit Brides of Destruction, and is preparing to release an autobiography titled "The Heroin Diaries"; and Neil has continued to tour as a solo artist, was a cast member on the WB reality series "The Surreal Life" and recently was the subject of a VH1 makeover special.
