Mötley Crüe has announced a pair of February warmup dates with new guitarist John 5 prior to their massive overseas run with Def Leppard. Ultimate Classic Rock reported the band will play Atlantic City's scaled-back 7,000-seat Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena on February 10th and 11th — marking their first shows without the retired Mick Mars.
Last month it was announced that Mars, the band's co-founder and guitarist for the past 41 years, was stepping down from the band's road work due to his ongoing painful struggle with Ankylosing Spondylitis.
