News - Def Leppard UK Arena Tour To Be Announced

The UK Arena tour already (as good as) confirmed by Phil Collen/Joe Elliott looks set to be announced soon with Motley Crue as special guests.

News of the tour, with Steel Panther also on the bill, was mentioned on Manchester's Rock Radio 106.1 by DJ Dewsbury yesterday morning.

According to him the tour featuring Lep, Motley Crue and Steel Panther is due to be announced very soon for December. He later mentioned this on Twitter/Facebook in response to fan questions. See below.

Something else which seems to back this up comes directly from Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx who told a UK fan on Twitter the band would play the UK in December.

Motley Crue first supported Lep at the end of the US Pyromania tour in 1983 at Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego. For previous news on the UK tour see the news links below. Joe said the dates were being put together in April but 'just not on sale yet'.
