Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Def Leppard and Journey are teaming up for a joint 2024 stadium concert tour of North America. The 23-city tour opens July 6 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis and concludes Sept. 8 at Coors Field in Denver.
The tour will include three California dates: Aug. 25 at SoFi Staidum in Los Angeles; Aug. 28 at Oracle Park in San Francisco; and Aug. 30 at Petco Park in San Diego. The opening act for all three California dates — and for all but seven of the tour dates — will be fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller and his band.
Two other Rock Hall inductees will alternate as opening acts for the seven shows Miller is not playing — Cheap Trick and Heart, which is co-led by former San Diegans Ann and Nancy Wilson. The tour will mark the second joint Petco Park show by Def Leppard and Journey, whose 2018 concert at the home of the San Diego Padres baseball team drew an audience of 34,300 and grossed $2,526,226 in ticket revenues.
The tour was announced Thursday morning.
“We shall hit the boards running with a brand-new stage show and set of songs that will celebrate specific parts of our history,” Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott said in a statement released Thursday. “We may even have a surprise or two up our sleeves ….”
The show is the seventh concert of 2024 to be announced thus far at Petco Park, tying the ballpark’s 2022 record for the most full-stadium concerts at the downtown San Diego venue in a single year.
The tour is being promoted by AEG Entertainment. Ticket prices were not announced.
