Def Leppard have announced an extensive North American tour with REO Speedwagon and Tesla.
The lineup will hit 55 cities across the continent starting May 1 in Orlando, FL, with dates running into early October.
Several of the early shows on the trek are dates rescheduled by Def Leppard from their winter US tour, which was sidelined recently due to illness.
"I'm really looking forward to getting back out there and playing some great music with some great people for some of the most appreciative audiences in the world,” says vocalist Joe Elliott. “It really is always a pleasure."
"We played some shows with Def Leppard in 2008 and it was an amazing musical marriage, a melodic rock extravaganza,” adds Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon. “We are ready to restart that fire in 2016."
Pre-sale Tickets & VIP Packages are available starting March 1 at 12pm. With general public seats available starting on March 4th at Livenation.com.
Def Leppard’s North American tour is in support of their 2015 self-titled album.

Rappel : Joe Elliott, chanteur de DEF LEPPARD, avait du faire reporter la tournée US du groupe, en raison de problèmes importants au niveau cordes vocales. Le chanteur se porte mieux.
Vivian Campbell a récemment parlé de son combat contre la maladie d'Hodgkin malgré différents traitements dont des cycles de chimiothérapie. « La maladie est toujours présente. J'ai eu de la chance d'être diagnostiqué très tôt... Je suis en phase de maintien (...) Je vais voir les docteurs pour ce cancer comme je vais chez le dentiste », ironise-t-il.
