After two summers of delays it is finally happening! The world’s most iconic and celebrated rock legends hit the road together this summer for a coheadlining tour so massive that it could only be held in North America’s biggest stadiums. The Stadium Tour featuring, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, and Classless Act bring their electrifying stage shows while promising to perform their stadium sized anthems.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Def Leppard are one of the most important forces in rock music. In 2019, the icons closed out a sold-out worldwide tour including a North American stadium run & headlining the UK’s Download Festival to 90k screaming fans. Def Leppard’s star continues to rise and prevail.
The band have amassed a staggering 5.5 billion streams since 2018, reaching a younger 18-44 demographic that now represents 58% of their fanbase. Additionally, the band have garnered an impressive 15 million followers across their social media platforms. Def Leppard also celebrates the landmark 45th anniversary of their formation this year, marking 45 years of legendary rock ‘n’ roll history making.
Def Leppard’s influential career crosses generations and includes 110 million records sold, numerous hit singles and ground-breaking multi-platinum albums—including two of the best-selling albums of all time, Pyromania and Hysteria, both of which are certified Diamond (10x platinum).
“On behalf of the band, we’re beyond thrilled that the stadium tour is finally happening this summer … it’s been a while coming and we can’t wait to get back on stage again & we can’t wait to see you in one of the many stadiums soon!” said Joe Elliott.
This concert rocked the roof off!Setlist for the show at the Alamodome
Def Leppard is my favorite band! They are still together after everything they have been through. Watching You Tube videos Joe Elliot, Rick Allen, Rick Savage, Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell showed so much energy at their concerts. Of course this was back in the day when they were all teens. Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee are both insane, everyone loved their comments! Poison and Joan Jett were great, I loved their acts.
I would love to see Def Leppard again. They did an awesome set. High energy and great vocals.
The wait was definitely worth it! Joan Jett sounded great and Poison had a lot of energy. Definitely glad that Def Leppard ended this show as they were the reason I bought tickets. They sounded and looked amazing, both during their normal songs and their two acoustic songs. Tons of interactions with the crowd and lots of energy on stage.
I absolutely loved seeing them in person! My dad introduced me to a lot of the bands he listened to growing up. So it was absolutely incredible to watch them preform. Would definitely recommend/go to another show if I have the chance.
Def Leppard was awesome!
The band is at its best. The music was great. You could hear the words. Perfect entertainment. The whole stadium was singing.
