SEE EVENT DETAILS
Def Leppard
https://www.defleppard.com
The world is a confusing place, but there's one resounding truth we can all count on: Def Leppard will rock you. Going strong for more than four decades, the British heavy-metal heavyweights are the world's premier torchbearers of the hard-partying, fist-pumping, ear-splitting hard-rock tradition.
With more than 100 million albums sold, dozens of arena-filling world tours under their spiked belts, and an upcoming induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Def Leppard is headbanging as hard as ever -- and once again launching themselves into a globe-spanning concert tour.
Def Leppard's longevity is all the more surprising given their debaucherous origins. The band's longest-standing members -- singer Joe Elliott, bassist Rick Savage, and drummer Rick Allen -- met as teenage secondary-school students in Sheffield, England. They soon found themselves swept up in the late-1970s wave of British metal that included Iron Maiden and Motorhead.
Year after year, No. 1 album after No. 1 album, they've survived all manner of rockstar antics over the course of their career through luck, fortitude, and good choices. When Allen lost his left arm after crashing his Corvette in 1984, the band never considered replacing him. After joining the band during the recording of 1982's Pyromania, guitarist Phil Collen quit booze, went vegetarian, and began studying martial arts. Today, at 61 years old, he gives a new definition to the term "dad bod" (dude is ripped). The final puzzle piece, Vivian Campbell, signed on after the 1994 death of original guitarist Steve Clark. This current lineup has endured together for a quarter of a century, longer than the entire lifespan of lesser bands.
As seen throughout 2018's 30th-anniversary tour, the members of Def Leppard remain in peak form and the band is a live-performance powerhouse. Summer of 2019 sees them embarking on a tour through Canada, England, and Northern Europe. If you ever needed affirmation about the life-preserving properties of rock 'n' roll, this is it.
The world's most iconic and celebrated rock legends hit the road in the summer of 2020 for a coheadlining tour so massive that it could only be held in America's biggest stadiums. The Stadium Tour featuring Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, with Poison and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts hit select cities in the U.S. where each band brings their electrifying stage shows while promising to perform their stadium sized anthems.

Mötley Crüe
https://www.motley.com
After more than three decades of headbanging, heavy metal bad boys Mötley Crüe announced that 2015's The Final Tour would be their last ever, giving fans one final opportunity to see Tommy Lee and company in the flesh before the curtain falls for good. The band has always been a revered live act for their showmanship and over-the-top performances, but their 2013 shows were their biggest and fieriest yet, featuring pyrotechnics beyond fans' wildest dreams - including the late Nikki Sixx's legendary flamethrower bass. With 72 North American dates in 2014 and international dates to follow, the Crüe are doing it big in true form, burning bright to the very last guitar solo.
Formed in LA in 1981 by guitarist Nikki Six and drummer Tommy Lee, Mötley Crüe was quickly rounded out with the addition of lead guitarist Mick Mars and singer Vince Neil. The band became notorious in the early '80s for their glam image and hard partying lifestyle, but it was 1983 sophomore album Shout at the Devil that made them international superstars. 1985's Theatre of Pain and 1987's Girls, Girls, Girls would prove even more successful, spawning '80s hard rock staples like "Smokin' in the Boys Room" and "Home Sweet Home." With 100 million albums sold worldwide, Mötley Crüe endures as one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time, making their 2014 farewell tour a bittersweet last hurrah for their legions of fans.

Poison
http://poisonofficial.com
Helping bring commercial metal to the masses since the early '80s, Poison remain at the top of their game well into the current decade. Their Glam-a-Geddon tour in 2011 commemorating their 25th anniversary was a huge success, reflecting the band's now legendary status as a forerunner of American pop-metal. The same can be said for their 2012 tour with fellow rockers Def Leppard. Poison's live shows often combine raucous fun with serious musical entertainment. Ticket buyers were in for a night of loud, high-energy concert rock, not to mention the onstage antics of the notorious C.C. Deville, whose amazing guitar solos are known to exceed nine minutes. Poison's 2011 Double Dose: Ultimate HIts compilation album preceded their summer tour and features all their hit singles that topped music charts.
It began in 1984, with frontman Bret Michaels, bassist Bobby Dall and drummer Rikki Rockett. Deville joined the band shortly thereafter, and the spirit of Poison was born. The glam fashion and metal attitude were a surprisingly effective mix. The 1986 hit Look What the Cat Dragged sold over two million copies, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200. With the release of 1988's Open Up and Say... Ahhh!, the super-smash anthem "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" cemented Poison firmly in their place in musical history. Their 2002 album Hollyweird reunited the band's original lineup after years following a falling-out among members. The reunion seems to have reinvigorated Poison, as it holds true to everything the band ever was and everything it ever will be in the public's eye. Songs like "Wishful Thinkin'" and the title track are hard-driving, good-old-fashioned rock and roll with a pop-metal edge. Fans could not ask for anything more, and a whole new generation of fans got a good glimpse of what the legendary Poison was all about.

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
https://www.joanjett.com/
Considering the glowing praise of everyone who has ever seen her perform live, it's hard to believe Joan Jett ever had a "Bad Reputation." With her jet-black hair and punk attitude, Jett became one of rock's most iconic frontwomen in the early '80s, blowing up charts around the world with muscular hits like "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" and "Crimson and Clover." Since then, she hasn't lost a beat, continuing to bring the same mix of talent and sheer ferocity to her adrenalin-filled live shows. Riding high off the 2013 release Unvarnished, Jett and the Blackhearts have fans eagerly awaiting their upcoming tour dates.
Born in suburban Philadelphia, Joan Marie Larkin, a.k.a. Joan Jett, got her first guitar when she was 14. Shortly after ditching guitar lessons because her teacher would only teach her folk songs, Jett's family moved to suburban Los Angeles, where she would immerse herself in the city's glam rock scene. In 1975 she formed the Runaways, an all-female hard rock band that skyrocketed to international success in the late '70s with brazen, heavy-hitting singles like "Cherry Bomb." After the band's dissolution in 1979, Jett launched her solo career, eventually eclipsing the fame of her former band when she joined forces with the Blackhearts for a string of early '80s smashes that included 1981's epochal "I Love Rock 'n' Roll." More than three decades later, Jett continues to thrill fans with her infectious energy and perennial touring.
