History & Tour Archive
We are creating the "Ultimate" presentation list of Motörhead tour dates and media. Your help is invaluable. The three sources of information for the foundation of this ever growing document of the bands live shows come from Steffano Loi, Alan Burridge via his amazing book "Keep Us On The Road," and Paul May, who went through official band paperwork and the other two lists for clarification, consistency and additional information.
We are looking for Pictures, scanned ticket stubs, poster images, audio and video recordings (YouTube or submission via mail) show reviews, set list and support act information. Anything you might want to add to this section, please send to [email protected] with the subject “Tours” with either date and or city of show.
