Def Leppard & Poison Unite: Tour Dates!

Where can you go this summer to hear “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” and “I Want You To Want Me” coming from one single stage? Plenty of places. Dates for 40-city North American romp that features Def Leppard, Poison, and Cheap Trick were just announced today. The action kicks off in Camden, New Jersey on June 23.

Def Leppard front man Joe Elliott is calling it the “rock tour of the summer,” and Poison singer Bret Michaels says each stop will be “a night of a 1000 hits.” Something tells us that there are tons of hard rock fans who are going to agree.

Live Nation produces the tour, and tickets go on sale March 6 at the Live Nation Website.

Make the jump to see all the specific cities and performance dates.

Sara March 15, 2009 at 1:47 am

I can’t believe their not coming to New York City. I would kill to see Def Leppard live

Colleen March 15, 2009 at 4:13 am

What gives? Tampa, FL is listed as a tour stop but ticketmaster knows nothing about it! Are tickets available? Where can I get them? Tour date list shows the groups in Florida in W. Palm Beach on August 13 and Tampa on the 14 but neither of these dates are listed for them with ticketmaster.

Alyssa March 15, 2009 at 1:12 pm

What the $$^+@*(&#@@#@~`_ no california? come on!!

Ray Schultz March 15, 2009 at 5:29 pm

Hey what about us over here in HAWAII! If U2 can ROCK out the ALOHA STADUIM than I know for sure these 3 Rock LEGANDS can bring it down!

Chris March 15, 2009 at 11:03 pm

witt March 16, 2009 at 12:02 am

DivaDetra March 16, 2009 at 7:05 am

What happened I swear when I first looked at the concert dates, they were coming to Cali. Now I will miss out….Boo

Tiffany Milano March 16, 2009 at 4:57 pm

What the hell is wrong with the WEST COAST? Are the fans here just a little too much for Poison? Seriously, 1 stop in the SOUTHWEST is the closest you will get to the actual West! The tour manager should to be shot!

amy March 16, 2009 at 6:54 pm

I think it sucks that they are not coming to MT. My sister and I saw Def Leppard in 2000, in Bozeman MT. COME BACK!!!

missy March 17, 2009 at 11:59 pm

APRIL March 20, 2009 at 4:14 pm

ITS REALLY SUCKS THAT DEF-LEPPARD ISN’T COMING TO WICHITA,KANSAS.DEF-LEPPARD IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND.

Fletcher Burdine March 21, 2009 at 12:30 am

Do you have any idea how many anglo saxon 40 something fans of Def Leopard there are in Tennessee. I should not be greedy but Knoxville, TN and Memphis the home of the king should have been included. I agree with the Boseman, MT dude too. Opportunities missed. I have not gone and bought a ticket since “Slow Hand himself” and “Motley Crue” came to Knoxville. Where the heck do you get tickets for this concert?

Deana March 21, 2009 at 9:28 pm

Would luv it if they would come to LUBBOCK, TX! Def Leppard hasnt been here since 2000! Poison and Cheap Trick even longer ago than that!!

Heather March 21, 2009 at 10:15 pm

OK… I thought this tour was coming to Minnesota or North Dakota??? I’m kinda upset that I haven’t seen this yet!! Whats the deal???

Jilly March 22, 2009 at 7:20 pm

My husband and I are going to the Def Leappard concert in Augst down here in West Palm Beach! I can’t wait to see them and to see Poison! Never have seen these 2 bands before in concert but we have seen Cheap Trick last year they were real good!

Thomas Brader March 24, 2009 at 12:57 pm

I think its funny , and a shame, that Cheap Trick will be the opener for this show. They clearly have more talent and have the best music, by far, out of the three. Cheap Trick are considered legends and have influenced many and i’m sure Def Leppard and Poison. But I guess Cheap Trick just love to play and don’t care. As long as they are playing they are happy. They are quite the band to see live!

ed doty March 27, 2009 at 5:29 pm

it really sucks that your not coming to cali or nevada

melissa j. March 29, 2009 at 11:57 am

i cant wait to see this concert ! ! i already bought my tickets for July 7th at the Meadows Music Theatre in Hartford CT ! ! I hope i am not disappointed ! ! But i probably wont be as long as they play their old junk ! ! Especially Photograph, Lets Get Rocked, Rock Brigade, Rocket, & Pour Some Sugar on Me ! ! This is gonna be the best concert yet ! !

Lauryn March 29, 2009 at 10:25 pm

I Love these band…but Def Leppard is my favorite…but because of me graduating this year from high school I can’t go see them in Wisconsin because my grad party is on July 18th and my birthday is the day after and i truely wish i could be there because that would be the best birthday weekend ever!

Diane March 30, 2009 at 4:01 pm

Carrie April 23, 2009 at 3:15 pm

OMG! My best friend and I are the biggest Def Leppard fans (her especially) and have been since the 80′s. Her 45th birthday is in July and we wanted to go to either Milwaukee, WI or Clarkston, MI to see them. Would love to get backstage passes for either of these shows for her for her birthday!!

Denny May 7, 2009 at 10:20 pm

Going to Post Gazeette Pavillion in Pittsburgh to see the show July 10th. I’m 55 and my daughter going with me is 25. We went two summers ago to see Def Leppard there and they were AWESOME !!!!! We are counting down the days.
