Heavy metal veteran band Mötley Crüe has announced it is going hit Abbotsford during its 2013 tour of Canada.

Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, the quartet-Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee, who have dominated the music scene for over 30 years, announced the band will play the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre with special guests Big Wreck on April 23.

During its reign, Motley Crew's worldwide album sales have topped 80 million and the band has nabbed seven platinum or multi-platinum albums, 22 Top 40 mainstream rock hits, six Top 20 pop singles, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, three Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock Performance and played to millions of fans.

"Abbotsford is proud to be the Lower Mainland's host for Mötley Crüe!" said Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman.

"This concert will draw people to stay in our city from across Southern BC and Washington."

Mötley Crüe has completed a sold-out Las Vegas residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and continues to reinvent not only their live show with new elements such as Tommy Lee's 360 drum roller coaster and music, such as its brand new song Sex released in the summer 2012.

Tickets for the Abbotsford Show range in price from $72.75 to $92.75 and go on sale March 1 at 10 a.m.

Tickets are available at various locations including the abbotsfordcentre.ca, AESC box office, Abbotsford and Matsqui recreation centres and Whatcom Wine and Spirits or by phone at 1-866-977- AESC (2372).
