It seems as though 80’s arena rock is back in action, as Def Leppard has announced a major tour schedule with support from REO and Tesla throughout. Just when you thought you were done pouring sugar, Leppard revealed a 55-date tour, with Styx playing three shows and REO Speedwagon joining for the majority of the rest.
The tour schedule begins on May 1st at the Moonstone Festival, wrapping through the country with summer dates spanning from June through September. A handful of fall dates in October conclude the announced schedule, with the final performance on October 10th in Cedar Rapids, IA.
Tickets for the new shows go on sale this Friday, March 4th, and all the information can be found on Def Leppard’s website. The full schedule is viewable below:
