Def Leppard, Motley Crue Annouce 'Intimate' Show

Another warmup gig was added in the U.S. before Motley Crue and Def Leppard will hit the road for "The World Tour." The bands will play at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fl. The show will take place March 12 and pre-sale tickets begin as early as tomorrow.


The Hard Rock venues do not hold nearly as many folks as other venues on the "world" leg, so this really is a good chance to see the bands if that is your thing.

Remembering Steve Clark

Def Leppard guitarist Steve Clark died January 8, 1991. He was 30. The remaining members of Def Leppard have never forgotten him and always include Steve as a member on official platforms, special merchandise, etc. I always listen to "White Lightning" on this anniversary.

'The World Tour' Adds American Dates And Alice Cooper

You already know that Motley Crue and Def Leppard are taking The Stadium Tour to other countries in the coming months and calling the run The World Tour. Now, the band has added some American dates - and also Alice Cooper has joined the bill.


One of the dates added is Columbus, Ohio but at this time I do not have plans to grab tickets. Also I think Alice Cooper will probably outperform Motley each night. Def Leppard can still hold their own, but there is no contest between frontmen when it comes to Alice Cooper versus Vince Neil. Alice wins every time.

Random Morning Announcement: Def Leppard, Motley Crue Add Two U.S. Shows This February

Def Leppard and Motley Crue will play two shows in Atlantic City, NJ, on February 10 and 11. The shows will take place at Hard Rock Live (Etess Arena). The Citi Presale literally begins today (talk about no advance notice!) and general on-sale is Friday.


Clearly these are warm-up gigs for The World Tour which starts in the middle of February in Mexico.

Def Leppard Will Release A Live Clip For 'Kick' 

Happiest of Fridays to my glam family! This has been a crazy work week for me - the kind where you feel like you are just barely treading water. I am so glad tomorrow is Saturday and I can sleep in.


In music mews, I sort of assumed Def Leppard was done releasing videos from their new album Diamond Star Halos, but I was apparently wrong. Today they teased a clip of "Kick" from live performances made over the summer during The Stadium Tour. The live video for "Kick" comes out Monday. Maybe this clip is more about promoting the band's upcoming European tour with Motley Crue?



If you'll recall, Def Leppard released an official studio video for "Kick" seven months ago.

Motley Crue, Def Leppard Announce European, Latin American Tour

I guess the rumors of The Stadium Tour going global were true. Motley Crue and Def Leppard will go to Europe and Latin America in 2023 and it looks like tickets go on sale next Friday. The run starts in Mexico in February and hits the UK in May. Like The Stadium Tour this is a co-headline event and Live Nation is the producer. Get ready for dynamic ticket pricing!


I guess we will see if the rumors about John 5 playing guitar instead of Mick Mars for this next run are true soon enough.

Def Leppard Announces New Book

DEFINITELY: The Official Story of Def Leppard will come out in May. The book is available for pre-order now and I just bought my copy. It is currently $45 on Amazon and is the number 1 bestseller in books about heavy metal music right now on that site.


I tried to buy a signed, special edition copy but they were all sold out by the time I got to the band's website. I think the photos look really interesting - the book seems thick and should include some stories we've never heard before. Plus, this will look cool on my coffee table.
