egendary rockers TESLA are setting up for an absolutely massive 2026 by announcing two different tours, including a return to the summer stadium circuit. First, the band kicks off the Still Keepin’ It Real Tour in January after spending the past year successfully bringing their ‘Keepin’ It Real’ Tour to sold out venues nationwide. That momentum builds into the Summer 2026 run for The Return of Carnival of Sins Tour alongside Motley Crue and Extreme. Bassist Brian Wheat is highly enthusiastic about the summer shows, saying, “We’re looking forward to playing this summer with the legendary Motley Crue and Extreme. We played with Motley Crue way back in 1990 on the “Dr. Feelgood” tour and had a blast. The shows were off the hook. Now we are playing this summer and Extreme is joining us as well. I believe the shows will be a complete ‘hard rockin’, song filled rock n’ roll extravanganza!”
TESLA’s bluesy, soulful sound is firmly embedded in the organic, authentic roots of 1970s rock and roll, drawing inspiration from icons like Bad Company and Led Zeppelin. The Sacramento rockers have a rich history, beginning as City Kidd before honoring inventor Nikola Tesla with their new name. Their platinum debut album, ‘Mechanical Resonance’, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi,” and their subsequent double platinum album, ‘The Great Radio Controversy’, featured “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song.” The band famously stripped down for their album ‘Five Man Acoustical Jam’, which produced their biggest hit single, the cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Today, TESLA continues to record and release new music, like the single “All About Love” featured on their ‘All About Love’ EP, all while keeping their legacy alive by selling out venues all over the world.
