New York, NY (July 22, 2009) – The sequel to last summer’s biggest touring rock festival premiered on Sunday night with the kick off of Crüe Fest 2 at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ.   Crüe Fest 2 stars Mötley Crüe with Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Drowning Pool and Charm City Devils.  Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Dr. Feelgood, Mötley Crüe performed the #1 album in its entirety in their self-created sanitarium followed by a completely separate set of the best of the rest of their hits including the Grammy nominated title track from their current album Saints of Los Angeles.  Opening night revealed this visual, conceptual, theatrical show about which Rolling Stone.com noted, “Capping a daylong loud-fest of heaviosity…the Crüe’s set commenced with a spectacle.”

The opening date also featured the introduction of the Monster Energy Stage, doubling the rock experience and value for fans by offering music from ten great bands between the two stages.  The 32-city trek will travel to the west coast and back with a final performance on September 5th at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien Lake, NY.  Crüe Fest 2 tickets are available now through Live Nation.

 “This is a crazy tour unlike any we’ve ever done before.  Crüe Fest 2 has ten bands rocking two stages.  Mötley’s doing two completely different sets – all of the songs from the Dr. Feelgood album and then a whole different look, sound, lights, dancers and even microphones with the grime and slime of our greatest hits.  We’ll change up the set list a bit during the second half of the show, just really do something different this summer,” shares Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx.

The Monster Energy Stage, filled out the festival experience and brought the Camden crowd hours of non-stop rock.  In addition to Rev Theory, Cavo, Shram and 16 Second Stare, the Monster Energy Stage will feature a band chosen locally in select markets.  Joining the Camden line-up were local winners Shovelhook hailing from Philadelphia, PA, chosen by WMMR.
