JOE ELLIOTT Says DEF LEPPARD's 2020 Tour To Begin In April/May

By Chele Drappel

Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott was recently interviewed about the Down 'n' Outz and mentioned 2020 touring plans.

Joe spoke to Billboard to promote the new Down 'n' Outz This Is How We Roll album.

Joe talked about the Down 'n' Outz album This Is How We Roll, the title track, musical style and Def Leppard's 2020 tour plans.

At the end he mentions Def Leppard will be "starting up again" in April/May 2020.

The first show "could" be a return to Mexico City with a number of local rumours there suggesting the band are in line to play at a festival.

One of these is the Domination Mexico festival. The line-up event has been officially announced yet by the organisers. Local fans say they are "100% confirmed" to play the festival.

The band last played Mexico in October 2017 including the Mother Of All Festival in Monterrey. Rumours for that show and others in Brazil, Argentina and Chile also leaked before they were announced.

Joe last talked of the 2020 tour in in September when he said the tour would begin in Summer time.

Phil has previously stated the band would be touring all over the world in 2020 including the USA, Canada and a return to South America was already hinted at for this year.

Def Leppard play the Exit 111 Festival later tonight in Manchester, TN with Live Updates to follow.

Def Leppard 2020 Tour

"We kind of fire up again towards late April, early May," Elliott says. "So far everything's pencilled in, nothing in ink yet. That'll happen over this winter."

Down 'n' Outz This Is How We Roll

"This Is How We Roll" also "became our mantra. We would jokingly say 'this is how we roll' to each other for the next five years. So it became logical that was gonna be the album title as well as the song title."
