In an exciting announcement, rock bands Def Leppard and Journey have revealed plans for a massive U.S. summer stadium tour. The two iconic groups will be joined by Cheap Trick, Steve Miller Band, and Heart at various locations throughout the tour, providing an unforgettable night of memorable Eighties hits for fans.

Following the success of their Diamond Star Halos album promotion, Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour. "Having just completed a sensational 18-month run, we shall hit the boards running with a brand-new stage show and set of songs that will celebrate specific parts of our history," said Elliott. He hinted at surprises in store, ensuring an enticing experience for concert-goers.

Last summer, Def Leppard embarked on a stadium tour alongside Mötley Crüe, Poison, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, which predominantly catered to hair metal enthusiasts. This time, the tour will be a treat for arena rock aficionados. Cheap Trick is scheduled to play four shows, Heart will perform at three, and Steve Miller Band will make appearances at 16 cities.

Despite their recent legal and personal disputes, Journey guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain have not let their differences hinder the band's touring momentum. They successfully toured with Toto last year and are set to share the stage once again in early 2024.

The rock group Heart, comprised of sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, has also faced its fair share of challenges. After a lengthy period of estrangement from 2016 to 2019, the Wilson sisters reconciled but have since been touring separately due to differing creative visions. Ann expressed her desire to push boundaries and break rules, while Nancy leans towards legacy performances and embracing the LA imaging aspect. However, the sisters recently reunited at a show in Santa Rosa, California, marking their first joint performance in four years. They have three upcoming Heart shows scheduled for later this month.

Fans eagerly await the start of the Def Leppard and Journey Stadium tour, which promises a blockbuster lineup of beloved hits and electrifying performances from some of rock music's most revered acts. Be sure to mark your calendars with the tour dates provided below:
