Next year’s summer stadium tour featuring Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett will now begin in June, after a further seven dates were added.

The run of shows will now kick off at the Alamodome in San Antonio on June 21 and also visit Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Nashville, Cincinnati and Cleveland.

Def leppard frontman Joe Elliott says: “The word on the street was that fans were overly excited about this stadium tour even before it was announced. Well it’s out there now and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. This is going to be a monster of a tour!”

Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx adds: “Little did we know that making The Dirt movie would lead us to this exciting new place touring stadiums with our friends in Def Leppard. We are beyond excited for this tour to begin.”

Tickets for the new shows will go on pre-sale on January 6, with the bands also confirming that the previously announced dates in Charlotte, Arlington, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, Denver and Seattle have now sold out.
