When news of this tour reached my ears – I was pretty much grinning from ear to ear for weeks. As the time come closer, I am getting so hyped up about the line up.

UK fans will be treated to Def Leppard coming home for a UK arena tour — and they’re bringing Motley Crue along with them! To top it all off, Special Guests Steel Panther will warm up the crowd each night on the tour.

The official tour promotional video has been released and you can view it below.

So the day has finally come that I can announce and confirm this AMAZING tour!

That’s right people – these three legends are joining forces to play six shows in arenas across the UK this December.

There are a full list of dates below and tickets go on Presale this Thursday (1st September) and on general sale on Friday (2nd September).

****TOUR HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN ANNOUNCED AND COMPLETE TOUR DATES ARE AVAILABLE HERE

Over the weekend I noticed that this line up was starting to pop up on forums across the web.

At first I thought it was just someone listing their dream line up (it is one of mine for sure).

Fresh from preforming two warm up dates in Belfast and Dublin – Def Leppard took to the stage to headline Friday at Download. It’s been two years since they were on the Download stage and all members of the band have spoken about their love of the festival.

While there are many things the band have been criticised for – a lack of showmanship or sense of spectacle are not among them. Showing off the stage that will be used for the ‘Mirrorball’ tour – the band did not disappoint the crowd. They are tighter than I have ever seen them play and it was a great night.

The set was a run through of the bands greatest hits to support the new album live ‘Mirrorball’ which is out now.

As we know Ms Gaga has a wide range of influences that range from any genre you can think of. She may be located in the dance/pop genre but she is by no means restricted by it.

Metal Hammer recently posted a interview with the pint size singer about her love of Iron Maiden after attending one of their concerts.

She spoke about the non-judgement attitude that comes from rock/metal crowds.
