Rock icons Motley Crue have been confirmed as headliners of Ottawa Bluesfest next summer.
"I booked Tommy Lee at the festival when he was involved in a side-project, several years ago, and always thought it would be great to book Motley Crue one day," Ottawa Bluesfest executive and artistic director Mark Monahan said in a press release. "Well that day has arrived. And it gives us great pleasure to have landed one of the greatest rock bands of our times."
The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, garnered seven platinum and multi-platinum albums, 22 Top-40 mainstream rock hits, six Top-20 pop singles, three Grammy nominations, five New York Times best-selling books, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a hit Netflix movie.
Ottawa Bluesfest will take place from July 4 to 14, 2024 and the iconic rockers will play the RBC Stage on July 13.
