Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe are hitting the road for another co-headlining tour. On Thursday (Dec. 8), the rock bands announced that they will be trekking across the United States in 2023, with Alice Cooper as a special guest for the series of dates.
“After finally getting back on the road this past summer, we’re beyond thrilled to bring this massive tour to a global audience including some special dates in America!” Joe Elliott of Def Leppard said in a statement.
“We had an incredible time playing The Stadium Tour in North America this summer and we truly can’t wait to take the show around the globe with The WORLD Tour in 2023,” Mötley Crüe added in a joint statement. “Crüeheads, get ready because we have a few amazing U.S. dates set for you!”
The U.S. dates will commence on Aug. 5 with a show at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., and will make stops in Columbus, Ohio; Fargo, N.D.; Omaha, Neb.; and Tulsa, Okla. before concluding in El Paso, Texas, on Aug. 18 at the Sun Bowl Stadium. The new set of dates are tacked onto the end of the bands’ previously announced global portion of The World Tour, which will kick off in February with a pair of dates in New Jersey before heading to Mexico, South America, Europe and the United Kingdom.
