After weeks of rumors, Motley Crue singer Vince Neil has confirmed that the Crue will join forces with KISS for a co-headlining U.S. tour this summer. The rocker spilled the news about the trek in a new interview with the Las Vegas Sun.

“It’s going to be really cool because KISS is bringing their full stage show, and Motley will be bringing our full stage show,” reveals Neil tells Robin Leach of the Las Vegas Sun. “So, you are going to see two huge headliners at the same time. It’s going to be one of the biggest tours of the summer, if not the biggest.”

The summer trek is set to take place from July through September, with an official announcement expected next week. Prior to the U.S. run, Motley Crue will tour Europe in June.

Neil also talked more about his Las Vegas strip club Girls, Girls, Girls, which has a soft opening this Friday, March 16. The singer claims that it’s the business venture he’s most excited about. “I love the tequila business, I love the restaurants and the nightclub stuff, but I’ve always wanted to have a strip club. It’s … a dream come true. I’ve been going to strip clubs my whole life, so I might as well own one.”

The official grand opening will take place a month from now, but Neil doesn’t plan to stop with just one club. “This is going to be the first of many of them around the country. In the next two years, we’ll have at least two more clubs open, hopefully more, and I’m looking for club spots right now, in New Orleans and elsewhere where I tour.”

Neil is excited about the tour with KISS, as well as having a new place to call home: “It’s going to be a great summer, and now every time I get back home to Vegas between shows, I’ll have my own strip club to hang out in — it’s all perfect!”
