Def Leppard will head out with fellow rock legends ZZ Top for the 16-date “20/20 Vision Tour” this fall. The US shows will follow Def Leppard’s recently announced co-headlining North American stadium tour with Mötley Crüe, which kicks off in June.
“What a year this is going to be! First, sold out stadiums, then we get to go on tour with the mighty ZZ Top!” Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott said in a press release. “Having been an admirer of the band for a lifetime it’s gonna be a real pleasure to finally do some shows together…maybe some of us will get to go for a spin with Billy [Gibbons of ZZ Top] in one of those fancy cars.”
Hitting mostly smaller markets, the tour starts on September 21st in Albany, New York, at the Times Union Center before routing across the South and Midwest. It wraps up on the Northwest on October 18th in Spokane, Washington.
Added Gibbons: “We’re excited about hitting the road with Def Leppard this fall; we’ve been fans of theirs since forever. We’ve been at this for 50 years now and the forthcoming run with them underscores that the good times are really just beginning. Joe Elliott is always welcome to ride ‘shotgun’ with us and we won’t even ask him to pay for the gas.”
It will be a busy 2020 for Def Leppard. They’ll only have a short break after their tour with Mötley Crüe, which ends on September 5th.
