Def Leppard and Journey are teaming up for an extensive, co-headlining tour of North America.
The 6-month, 58-city trek, which mixes arena and stadium shows, will see the bands switch headlining slots from the time it opens in Hartford, CT on May 21 until it wraps up in Los Angeles in early October.
“This tour is going to be a blast!,” says Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott. “We’ve toured together before and it was massive. This time it’s going to be even bigger and better!”
“These co-headlining Journey/Def Leppard dates will be epic classic rock shows,” adds Journey founder and guitarist Neal Schon. “So many hits. It will be great to see you all, friends!”
Tickets will go on sale beginning Saturday, February 3, with details regarding pre-sale and VIP ticketing information to follow.
Def Leppard released a series of 30th anniversary editions of their fourth album, “Hysteria”, in 2017; the project is biggest-selling record of the band’s career, with more than 25 million copies sold worldwide – including 10 million in the US.
Journey were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame last year; the band were named the No. 8 Rock News Artist Of The Year and delivered the No. 6 Rock News Story Of The Year as part of the 2017 hennemusic Rock News Awards.
