DEF LEPPARD's Joe Elliott said: "This tour is going to be a blast! We've toured together before and it was massive. This time it's going to be even bigger and better!" JOURNEY's Jonathan Cain added: "We are all anxious to share our sound with the world again and, along with DEF LEPPARD, we are part of a world-class package to the rock stage that spans decades and represents a multi-platinum legacy." DEF LEPPARD's Rick Savage said: "12 years ago we embarked on a U.S. tour with JOURNEY and it was an absolute blast. Looking forward to hooking up again.
