SHOUT AT THE DEVIL… AND 70,000 FANS! MÖTLEY CRÜE SET TO ROCK SUPER BOWL 2026″

Get ready to crank it to eleven—Mötley Crüe is about to take center stage at the biggest sporting event of the year. The NFL has officially announced that the legendary glam metal titans will headline the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2026, and fans across the globe are already losing their minds. After more than four decades of decadence, debauchery, and deafening decibels, the Crüe is proving once again that rock and roll will never die.

 

Set to ignite the stage in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, Mötley Crüe’s performance promises a halftime spectacle like no other. Known for their explosive live shows, pyrotechnic-laden sets, and outrageous stage antics, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, and Mick Mars (yes, he’s back for this show!) are gearing up to deliver a sonic punch that’ll shake the stadium to its foundations.

 

**From the Sunset Strip to Super Bowl Spotlight**

 

Formed in 1981 on the gritty streets of Los Angeles, Mötley Crüe became synonymous with 80s glam metal excess. They turned heads with their wild fashion, rebellious attitude, and a string of now-iconic albums like *Shout at the Devil*, *Theatre of Pain*, and *Dr. Feelgood*. Hits like “Kickstart My Heart,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” and “Home Sweet Home” are still anthems to generations of headbangers.

 

Despite internal turmoil, lineup changes, and a much-publicized farewell tour in 2015, the band shocked the world when they “tore up” their cessation contract and returned to the road in 2019. Their story was immortalized in the Netflix biopic *The Dirt*, which introduced the band to a whole new wave of fans. Now, they’re ready to take that raw, rebellious spirit to the world’s biggest stage.

 

**A Halftime Show Unlike Any Other**

 

Sources close to the production team promise that this will be no ordinary halftime show. Think bigger. Think louder. Think… Crüe. Rumors are swirling about massive set pieces, Tommy Lee’s infamous drum coaster making a comeback, and maybe even a few surprise guest appearances from fellow rock legends.

 

“We’re not coming to play it safe,” bassist and primary songwriter Nikki Sixx said in a recent interview. “We’re coming to melt faces and remind everyone what real rock and roll looks like.”

 

Drummer Tommy Lee echoed the sentiment on social media, posting, “Y’ALL AIN’T READY. Super Bowl ’26 is gonna be NASTY.” Fans are already speculating on setlists, outfits, and just how much fire can legally be used in one performance.

 

**NFL’s Bold Move**

 

The NFL’s decision to feature Mötley Crüe marks a significant shift from the pop-heavy halftime shows of recent years. After performances by Beyoncé, The Weeknd, Rihanna, and Usher, bringing a full-throttle metal act to the halftime stage is a bold—and perhaps overdue—nod to rock fans.

 

“This is a celebration of legacy and rebellion,” said Super Bowl executive producer Sarah Jenkins. “Mötley Crüe represents a different era of music, but their energy and passion are timeless. This year, we wanted to honor that spirit of fearless performance.”

 

**Fans React Loud and Proud**

 

Within minutes of the announcement, social media exploded with excitement. Hashtags like #CrüeBowl2026 and #KickstartTheSuperBowl trended worldwide. Longtime fans shared throwback photos and stories of past concerts, while younger fans discovered the band’s music for the first time.

 

“I never thought I’d see the day Mötley Crüe would play the Super Bowl,” one fan tweeted. “It’s about time rock got its moment again!”

 

Ticket sales for the big game are expected to soar, with many fans saying they’ll tune in just for the halftime show. For Mötley Crüe, who have always thrived on spectacle and controversy, the Super Bowl is the perfect next chapter in their legacy.

 

**What to Expect**

 

While the official setlist is still under wraps, insiders suggest the band will play a mix of their greatest hits, possibly including “Live Wire,” “Dr. Feelgood,” and—of course—“Shout at the Devil.” With a runtime of roughly 13 minutes, the performance promises to be a non-stop adrenaline rush.

 

Love them or loathe them, one thing’s for certain: Mötley Crüe’s halftime show will be unforgettable. Whether it’s for the music, the chaos, or just the sheer audacity, the world will be watching as the bad boys of metal shout at the devil—and 70,000 fans—in front of millions worldwide.

 

**So grab your eyeliner, crank up the volume, and get ready to rock. The Super Bowl just got a whole lot louder.**
