posty 2,296 Posted January 19, 2018 http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/its-official-def-leppard-and-journey-to-join-forces-for-58-city-north-american-tour/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark It's official: DEF LEPPARD and JOURNEY will join forces for a massive co-headlining tour of North American stadiums and arenas. The 58-city trek will kick off on May 21 in Hartford, Connecticut. All the dates can be found below. Tickets go on sale beginning Saturday, February 3 at LiveNation.com. Stay tuned for presale and VIP ticketing information. "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!" JOURNEY guitarist Neal Schon said. The shows will feature complete sets and an all-new production from both bands, and an arsenal of their hits such as "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Lights", "Photograph", "Don't Stop Believin'", "Rock Of Ages" and "Faithfully". "This tour is going to be a blast! We've toured together before and it was massive," DEF LEPPARD frontman Joe Elliott said. "This time it's going to be even bigger and better!" JOURNEY keyboardist 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." DEF LEPPARD and JOURNEY previously toured together in 2006. The trek was reportedly one of LEPPARD's most successful U.S. runs since the 1992-1993 "Adrenalize" tour. The DEF LEPPARD-JOURNEY package launched in June 2006 and consisted of three legs, taking the two bands up to November of that year. At the time, DEF LEPPARD was supporting its covers album called "Yeah!" DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen has said in past interviews that he would love to tour with JOURNEY again.

It was a hella good time with all of us dancing on the grass. Have fun. tickets don't go on sale till next week. I'm just contemplating at this point but the venue alone would just about be worth price of admission. Opened a few years ago and looks amazing but I haven't been. First time I've honestly seen any sort of concert hosted there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally didnt notice but I'm not sure if they turn him down and the others up a little but they sounded fine. Fatter...but fine. Focker tried to break out new music though. Just don't.

wiffleball 4,640 Posted January 20, 2018 Too bad they didn't tell the drummer from Def Leppard. Some entertainment show caught him on the street and told him about this and he had absolutely no idea. It's almost as if the left hand didn't know what the right... Um, never mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunnysBastatrds 1,916 Posted February 4, 2018 A friend of mine was banging some chick that claimed shed seen def leppard over 100 times. She followed them around the country. You know shes tried to get on the tour bus many times. Sadly, I dont think she was hot enough to succeed. Dated a b!tch that used to try and get on "the bus" for many bands. She had a friend that was smoking hot (36c) and got many back stage passes. There are layers of hotness that those sluts need to go through to earn bus passes. Chick I was fawking heard over the walkie tally that she was a "pig in lip stick" and don't allow her to get passed the road crew. She wasn't worthy of a back stage pass. Meat for sound guys.
