DEF LEPPARD Prepare To Return To The Road

September 19, 2005

The following update has been posted at DEF LEPPARD's official web site:

"After a summer of extensive touring, and before two more months of playing live shows, September seems to be the month when the guys aren't playing live on stage. However, that's only partly true! Yes, on October 11 the 'Rock of Ages' tour will pick up again in Boston, but for those who can't wait that long, there are two chances to see band members on stage.....just not with their regular stage buddies!

"We already reported that Phil [Collen, guitar], Simon Laffy and Paul Cook will be playing their very first show as MAN-RAZE on September 27 at The Spitz in London. Tickets seem to be sold out at the moment but there is a possibility that more will become available at We Got Tickets, so keep checking their site. A day later, on September 28, you can check out Vivian [Campbell, guitar] playing songs from his solo album at The Mint in Los Angeles. This show promises to be an unique opportunity, as Viv will be joined on stage by Terry Bozzio, Mark Browne, Bruce Cornett, Michael Fell and Tor Hyams — the exact same line-up that can be heard on [Vivian's solo] album 'Two Sides of If'. Tickets are available at the venue, and can be purchased through GrooveTickets soon.

"And then after that, it's time for the band to hit the road again.....some 18 dates have been announced so far for October and November, with a handful more to come. On this leg of the tour, there's three artists DEF LEPPARD will be playing with. First of all, Ricky Warwick [ex-THE ALMIGHTY] returns, opening each show with songs from his latest release 'Love Many Trust Few'. Then on some dates, following the success of this summer's Rock & Roll Double Header tour, it will be a BRYAN ADAMS/DEF LEPPARD double bill (with DEF LEPPARD playing the late set). And finally, late October and early November, none other than CHEAP TRICK will be supporting. All confirmed dates can be found at the tour section of this site. Next week, we hope to be able to announce three more shows for November, as soon these are fully confirmed."
