Tesla Announce Summer 2026 Tour Dates with Mötley Crüe
Legendary rockers Tesla have announced brand-new tour dates for Summer 2026 with Mötley Crüe and Extreme on The Return of Carnival of Sins Tour!
Brian Wheat says, “We’re looking forward to playing this summer with the legendary Mötley Crüe and Extreme. We played with Mötley Crüe 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!”
Tesla has spent the past year bringing their Keepin’ It Real Tour to sold-out venues nationwide. Beginning in January, Tesla will hit the road again with the Still Keepin’ It Real Tour. Fans are encouraged to grab them early before they sell out.

About Tesla:
That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. Tesla may have been born in the mid-’80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like Bad Company, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith.
The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to Tesla, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla, who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song.” Suddenly, Tesla, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, Tesla helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other ’90s albums from Tesla include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release new material, including nine new albums since 2000. Most recently, they debuted the single “All About Love,” featured on their All About Love EP — now available as a special edition collector’s 12″ vinyl. They also celebrated two highly successful Record Store Day events since their last residency, with both volumes of their limited-edition double LPs, Real 2 Reel Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, completely selling out. Both are cover song studio albums that pay homage to classic rock tunes from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Tesla brings their unique touch to these iconic tracks, recorded using analog tape and vintage equipment, with a dedication to preserving the raw, authentic sound of the era. The albums showcase the band’s exceptional talent, captured in a live in-studio setting, without the use of pro tools or an automated mixing console.
Tesla’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. Tesla is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.
