Motley Crüe Cancels Riverside County New Year's Eve Concert

PALM SPRINGS, CA — Motley Crüe has canceled its recently announced New Year's Eve concert in Riverside County.

Production issues were cited. In a social media post Thursday, the rock group wrote: “It is with deep regret we must inform you the Crüe Year’s Eve show in Palm Springs is being canceled. The very short time frame to produce the event resulted in issues beyond our control. We look forward to seeing you all in 2024!”

The concert was to take place at Acrisure Arena in greater Palm Springs. The band's statement was reposted by venue officials, though no information was immediately available about whether ticket-holders will be refunded or whether a replacement performance will be scheduled for the New Year's Eve show.

Acrisure Arena officials announced the Motley Crüe concert on Dec. 1, and general admission tickets went on sale Dec. 8. The rockers were scheduled to headline the “Crüe Year’s Eve” event, dubbed as "an unforgettable one-night-only New Year's Eve concert of rock and revelry at Acrisure Arena to ring in 2024."

In addition to a performance by Motley Crüe, concertgoers were told to expect "an immersive experience with special effects, pyrotechnics, and all the theatrical elements that have made Motley Crüe concerts legendary."

Fans were encouraged to secure their seats early because the New Year's Eve concert was expected to sell out quickly.
