Def Leppard + Journey Book Massive 2018 North American Tour
Do you wanna get rocked? Well, if you live in North America, you're about to because Def Leppard have just announced they'll be teaming up with Journey for an exhaustive 58-day tour starting in late May.
The tour is reminiscent of 2006 when both bands united for a co-headlining North American trek and for those looking to relive that experience, you're in luck. The run kicks off on May 21 in Hartford, Conn. and will wrap up on Oct. 6 in Los Angeles, featuring small breaks in the daunting schedule to afford the groups some rest. Check out all the stops below and look for tickets to go on sale on Feb. 3.
There's doubly good news for Def Lep fans as the band's entire catalog has finally arrived at all official streaming platforms and is available for digital download as well. "It is with a mixture of relief and euphoria that we now see our entire catalog finally getting a digital release. Having embraced every other format with open arms, especially & more recently the reemergence of vinyl, we’re now going to be available to everyone everywhere and honestly, it’s as exciting as the original releases were," comments Joe Elliott.
Def Leppard also have special shows in store for the U.K. and Ireland at the end of 2018. They'll perform their wildly successful Hysteria album in its entirety on a short batch of dates featuring Cheap Trick as the opening act. For more info, head to the band's website.
