Rock and Roll All-Stars featuring Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott have announced a concert in San Jose, Costa Rica for 3rd May.
The show appears to be part of the "Titans Of Rock" South American tour mentioned recently and takes place at the Ricardo Saprissa Stadium. The San Jose date was first listed as 5th May and without a venue (see previous news).
The article mentions that a world tour will be announced at a press conference in Los Angeles during early March. It also gives a little more insight as to what will be going on.
The first news about this proposed tour mentioned the name 'Titans Of Rock' which turns out to be the name of a new Gene Simmons clothing company (see link below).

3rd May 2012 - Ricardo Saprissa Stadium, San Jose, COSTA RICA
Tico Times - News Quote
"At least 11 "Rock and Roll All-Stars" will play Ricardo Saprissa Stadium, in the northern San Jose district of Tibas, May 3 at 8 p.m. in a wild and wacky, fantasy camp-style show, Brunka Producciones announced Thursday morning. Notorious TV and movie star Charlie Sheen will be the event's master of ceremonies."
"The show's glut of glam metal and heavy metal performers is straight off the walls of a male teenager's room in the mid-1990s - except for Ed Roland of the post-grunge Collective Soul, whose presence only adds to the concert's oddity."
"The lineup, led by tongue-wagging Kiss lead singer Simmons, consists of Joe Elliot (vocalist, Def Leppard), Jason Newsted (bassist, Metallica), Sebastian Bach (vocalist, Skid Row), Roland (vocalist, guitarist, Collective Soul), Duff McKagan (bass, Guns N' Roses), Matt Sorum (drummer, Guns N' Roses), Steve Stevens (guitarist, Billy Idol), Billy Duffy (guitarist, The Cult), Gilby Clarke (guitarist, Guns N' Roses) and Glenn Hughes (bassist, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath)"
"Sorum, the lineup's lone drummer, is the architect behind the show. The arrival of three former Guns N' Roses members, including original bassist McKagan, should please the country's plentiful metal fans. In 2009, Guns N' Roses planned to play Costa Rica for the first time ever, but erratic lead singer Axl Rose canceled the concert after his crew deemed the stage unsafe."
"Details about a world tour, and how exactly all these personalities will fit on one stage, will be given at a press conference in Los Angeles at the beginning of March."
