May 8th is officially recognized as “Motörhead Day” (or “Lemmy Day”), a global celebration of the iconic band and its late frontman, Lemmy Kilmister. Chosen because the date “The 8th of May” sounds similar to “Ace of Spades,” this day honors the band’s legacy with special events, music, and, as of 2025, the unveiling of a statue in his hometown.
