According to Rolling Stone, the Crüe is voiding that contract and will hit the road with Def Leppard and Poison for a 2020 U.S. stadium tour.

Mötley Crüe called it quits from the road after a 158-show farewell run that ended New Year’s Ever 2015 in Los Angeles. Before the tour began, all four members — frontman Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist Mick Mars — claimed to have signed a “cessation of touring agreement,” legally preventing them from sharing the stage together in the future.

“Legally, we can’t play again,” Sixx told Rolling Stone in 2014. “The only loophole is if all four band members agreed to do it, we could override our own contract.”

He added, “But we know that will never happen.”

However, things started to ramp up again in the Crüe camp this year. In conjunction with the band’s Netflix biopic The Dirt, the foursome reunited to record three new songs, plus a cover of Madonna‘s “Like a Virgin.”
