The initial tour announcement by Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and NEW YORK DOLLS' David Johansen was made on the syndicated radio show "Sixx Sense With Nikki Sixx"on March 1.

During a May 1 press conference at Bamboozle in East Rutherford, New Jersey, MTLEY CRE's veteran production manager and set designer, Robert Long, presented graphic renderings of the new set design, which he described as "a hard-hitting CRE rendition of a rock 'n' roll burlesque theatre." According to Long, the entire stage is enveloped in red velvet drapery and a damask printed wall of guitar amps.

Continuing to integrate the input of their fans, MTLEY CRE conducted a survey by listing every song they have ever recorded. Fans voted at Motley.com for the final set list, which includes tracks band hasn't performed live together in almost 20 years.
