Rock bands Def Leppard and Journey just announced a co-headlining tour that will stop in 58 North American cities in 2018. The bands will divide up the tour, with half of the shows to be closed by Def Leppard and the other half will finish up with Journey as the closing band.
“12 years ago we embarked on a US tour with Journey and it was an absolute blast. Looking forward to hooking up again. Believe me, this will be even more spectacular,” said Rick Savage of Def Leppard.
The 2018 tour kicks off in Hartford, Connecticut on May 21st. Other stops include Cleveland, Toronto, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Kansas City. The co-headlining tour will finish up on October 6th at The Forum in Los Angeles, CA. Fans can expect to hear classic hits “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Lights,” “Photograph,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Rock of Ages,” and “Faithfully” during the tour which will feature complete sets by both bands.
Tickets are set to go on sale beginning Saturday, February 3, at LiveNation.com.
“These co-headlining Journey/Def Leppard dates will be epic classic rock shows. So many hits. It will be great to see you all, friends!” stated Neal Schon.
“This tour is going to be a blast! We’ve toured together before and it was massive. This time it’s going to be even bigger and better!” said Joe Elliott.
And Jonathan Cain added, “We are all anxious to share our sound with the world again and, along with Def Leppard, we are part of a world-class package to the rock stage that spans decades and represents a multi-platinum legacy.”
