If Lep is playing a good enough set this tour, I may have to add Indy to my list. Being one hour ahead and having MC closing that show should allow me to get home nice and early if I pull it off. I'd probably get a ticket!

Does anyone know which band closes each night of this 2022 tour?

Photo by Jeff Diffner - Rick Allens Tech. Notice the Monitors are off to hide the song lists. Rig 1 of 3 ready for the road. It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child and the same could be said for getting a tour off of the ground. The above photo represents months of work and the dedication of countless people. While most people will only see the kit on stage, this rack is handles all of the electronics. I’d like to give shout out and thanks for the following companies and people that have made it all work. @digitalelements @encorecaseco @gracedesignproaudio @rjmmusictechnology @furmanpower @radialeng #Motu apple @sonnettechnologies @directout @mytekaudio @whirlwind_usa Not pictured, but ever so important; @yamahadrumsofficial @zildjiancompany @aheaddrumsticks @magnatrack @remopercussion @jhaudio

Roger Love is responsible for rehabilitating Joe's voice. Without him and a lot of hard work from Joe, we may have never seen Def Leppard live again after January 2016 or have a new album on the horizon.

You know me.. I’m all about the heavy. It’s the age old, what can they squeeze in?? It looks like the start time on TM is 4:30. I didn’t dig around to see if that’s gates open or when the first band goes on. If they stick with 5 bands, some variation of Tuk Smith and Restless hearts / whoever 430-5 Joan Jett 5-545? Poison 6-7 Motley 730-9 Lep 930-11 If they can squeeze 90 min maybe, but it’s looking a lot like 75-80 min Will Def Leppard Add any heavier Songs to the Set plus the New Song? I really wish Tuk Smith and the Restless Hearts were still on the tour. They are fantastic! I know about 6 shows start at 4 instead of 4:30, I wonder if the shows end earlier, 10:30 instead of 11, or if some get a slightly extended set?

Not a pairing I think they need to do again but interesting if they are thinking that far ahead with touring schedules.

I think the next step if they do another stadium run is logically Bon Jovi. Not a pairing I think they need to do again but interesting if they are thinking that far ahead with touring schedules.

After the disaster of the last Bon Jovi album I would take Journey anyday. Honestly after this tour I’d like to see Lep with some modern fresh acts. Rock is having a resurgence as of late with some great new bands. Take out The Struts, Maneskin, or another fresh act that hasn’t already been done. I get the intent is to fill seats but it would allow Lep to play longer and also bring in some fresh blood. Just my opinion

I hope Leps never tour with Bon Jovi again. They will always be the support act and Bon Jovi are terrible live these days because of Jons voice.

I personally agree with everything you said! Lol If they are talking a stadium co- headline I just don’t see a tour with Metallica, GnR or AC/DC really..Aerosmith *maybe* If it’s their farewell. Joe did say that that if they get into some different venues outside of the stadium tour they could add stuff from DSH when they can play longer. It’ll be fun to watch that play out, and the dates in the rest of the world go. I hope Leps never tour with Bon Jovi again. They will always be the support act and Bon Jovi are terrible live these days because of Jons voice.

Don't disagree about the quality of a BJ show these days, but Leppard might not be support in the US. Could be co-headline. BJ is touring in the US beginning April 1st. The shows are in arenas not stadiums. I think their popularity has dropped in the US while it can be argued that Def Leppard are on an upward swing. If the choices are Def Leppard with Journey or Def Leppard with Bon Jovi, I choose BJ.

I saw Bon Jovi back in 2013, it was Richie's 3rd to last show before he left. It was fun, but I have no intentions on seeing them again. Jon sounded horrible and he basically stood in one of 4 or 5 spots and did that thing with his hands he always does and that was it. So I agree with this. Musically they were good, but vocally? Not so much. In reference to above where someone mentioned taking some fresh acts out. There's a lot of really good European 80s sounding rock bands. Crazy Lixx, H.E.A.T., Eclipse, having one of them open would not only help out of those bands a lot, but it would show people here in the States that rock isn't dead, you just have to look hard enough. Of course, having those bands open for them in the UK or Europe would be a lot easier due to logistics.

Agree with all this! Eclipse and Crazy Lixx both playing Monsters on the Mountain in Tennesee in August. The MORC organizers get it and are doing a nice job mixing those Euro bands in. They generate a nice buzz on the cruise and I feel like they're slowly building a bigger following. I doubt they'll get a slot as an opener on a Leppard bill but that would be amazing. For me, if I had the choice of seeing Bon Jovi for free or paying $100 to see Eclipse or Crazy Lixx, I'd choose the Eclipse/Crazy Lixx side and happily spend $100 without hesitation. I know I'm in the minority though lol. Either way, I'd like to see a headline tour of some sort from Leppard after this Stadium thing. Or at least maybe another residency. But I vote for an East Coast residency somewhere this time either in Florida or NYC. Or why not do one on both coasts? I hope Leps never tour with Bon Jovi again.

I get the appeal of doing these co-headlining jaunts and playing bigger venues, but personally I'd rather see them do a tour on their own in smaller venues and charge higher ticket prices. I'd gladly pay more if we could get a "Vegas Residency" style show with two Def Leppard sets and an intermission.

Of course, having those bands open for them in the UK or Europe would be a lot easier due to logistics. I have said it before and I will say it again, The easiest way for Lep to " Blow up" and have a big Aerosmith type of resurgence would be to somehow get in front of the young people for live shows! I have know doubt the young people would be blown away by them. My 16 year old said it best the other day, Lep gets very little exposure on things like tik tok (todays mtv) like 100,000 views for new stuff, where as an artist like Conan Gray may get 5,000,000! So use some connections, play a few shows here and there off the beaten path of co headline with older bands, play something with the young folks. Keep in mind with all of this said I would personally rather see Leppard play a 14 hour show on my back porch!!! On the other hand how great would it be to hear leppard take over top 40 radio again. Sigh what a dream.

They could do a 2 week residency in various countries and let the fans do the travelling to get to them. It allows them to have a great stage like in Vegas and no need to have multiple rigs and crews. Fans can meet up during the days. Vegas was amazing. I'd message a group of people to see who wanted to meet for a meal and there would be a dozen of us, easily. I always have to travel to shows so it was a treat to stay in the same location for multiple shows. I'm not getting any younger and neither are they. The UK should be the first place for a residency. They deserve it after getting bypassed so much.

Wow! In a 4 band stadium tour where the sets will be limited and the nucleus of hits will of course be plenty, I would have to think a set that has KICK/TAKE WHAT YOU WANT/FIRE IT UP along with BGAG immediately makes this set pretty much a best case scenario. Might be asking for too much, but I would also love to see some sort of a 30th anniversary ADRENALIZE tribute that is not LGR or MLLAM. Too early for me to have to go into spoiler-free mode.

It would be cool to have White Lightening as the showcase moment near the middle of the set with footage/photos of Steve mixed in along with footage of the guys from the Adrenalize tour playing in the round on the screens. Then bust into BOTH and Switch 625 after that! I'm available to coordinate this setlist if they'd like my help 😀 Wow!

Just had a a thought.... does anyone think the band might mix up their sets on the Stadium Tour based on whether they are closing the show or not? I was thinking about how the band has talked about including more of the new album in the set for this tour, but in the past the band, particularly Joe, has been adamant about playing songs that the majority of the audience wants to hear.
On nights when Def Leppard are closing, we can presume that some Motley fans will probably exit, meaning the remaining crowd is more "there for Leppard" and I wonder if that might result in them playing more new tracks, as opposed to nights when they have the "full Motley crowd" watching, and as a result stick in more radio hits on those gigs.
Like I said, just a thought, I know Leppard usually doesn't vary the setlist that much from night to night.
