JOE ELLIOTT Says DEF LEPPARD Will Bring DIAMOND STAR HALOS Tour To UK In 2023
Def Leppard 2022
Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott revealed the band plan to tour the UK sometime in 2023 during his weekly radio show.
The Stadium Tour, the band's current and upcoming tour, is scheduled to start on 16th June in Atlanta, GA.
But Joe has now followed a fellow Planet Rock DJ in hinting at a UK tour.
In support of their new 'Diamond Star Halos' studio album.
Announced on 17th March it will be released on Friday 27th May 2022.
During his weekly Planet Rock radio show last night Joe was more specific in stating the tour will reach the UK in 2023.
This means finally the band maybe break the three tours in a row in (the freezing wastelands of...) Winter run and play here in the Spring.
Currently the 2022 tour is set to end on September 9th in Las Vegas, NV with no other shows yet scheduled for this year.
This will be the band's first UK tour since December 2018 when they brought the 'Hysteria & More' show to UK arenas.
After that they brought the show back for their third headline slot at the Download Festival in June 2019.
Let the speculation begin on whether Joe's comments can be interpreted as The Stadium Tour itself expanding to the UK/Europe or a normal UK headline arena tour.
The Stadium Tour at Wembley Stadium would be kind of cool though...
A look at previous tour schedules shows us that Australia, New Zealand and Japan have been played in Oct/Nov for the last few visits which could fill the gap before the UK tour.
