The Bark at the Moon Tour was a tour by Ozzy Osbourne from 1983 to 1985, supporting his album Bark at the Moon .
Background [ edit ] Mötley Crüe and Waysted were support acts for the tour. Osbourne witnessed Mötley Crüe perform at the US Festival in May 1983 and chose them as his opening act for his upcoming world tour. Osbourne has been credited for the fame and success Mötley Crüe received going forward in their careers, and also the popularity of their hedonistic lifestyle.[1]
