Motley Crue made some major changes to the setlist at their first 2026 concert, adding four songs that haven’t been heard live in over a decade to their Saturday night show at the Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg.

The fun kicked off with Shout at the Devil‘s “Red Hot” and Theatre of Pain‘s “Louder Than Hell,” which hadn’t been performed live since 2013 and 2015 respectively.

“We haven’t played these songs in a long fucking time,” singer Vince Neil noted later in the evening, as the band kicked into another Shout favorite that hadn’t turned up since 2015, “Too Young to Fall in Love.”

Next up was the evening’s biggest surprise, the band’s first run through “Take Me to the Top” since 1984. The band also performed a full version of “Smokin’ in the Boys Room,” instead of including it in the medley of covers they’d been performing since their 2022 reunion.

It should be noted that this was not the opening night of Motley Crue’s Return of the Carnival of Sins tour, which will find them celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Carnival of Sins tour with help from Tesla and Extreme. That tour kicks off July 17, after the band plays another festival date July 12 in Vancouver.
