The tour, promoted by Live Nation, kicks off May 21 in Hartford, Connecticut, at the XL Center and will feature complete sets and all-new production from both bands, and an arsenal of their hits such as "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Lights", "Photograph", "Don't Stop Believin'", "Rock Of Ages" and "Faithfully".

The 58-city tour will hit ten stadiums — Toronto's Rogers Centre; Atlanta's Sun Trust Park; Detroit's Comerica Park; Chicago's Wrigley Field; Denver's Coors Field; Minneapolis's Target Field; Boston's Fenway Park; St. Louis's Busch Stadium; San Francisco's AT&T Park; and San Diego's Petco Park — as well as world-famous arenas, such as Madison Square Garden in New York and the "Fabulous" Forum in Inglewood, California.

JOURNEY's Neal Schon said: "These co-headlining JOURNEY/DEF LEPPARD dates will be epic classic rock shows. So many hits. It will be great to see you all, friends!"

DEF LEPPARD's Joe Elliott said: "This tour is going to be a blast! We've toured together before and it was massive. This time it's going to be even bigger and better!"

JOURNEY's Jonathan Cain added: "We are all anxious to share our sound with the world again and, along with DEF LEPPARD, we are part of a world-class package to the rock stage that spans decades and represents a multi-platinum legacy."

DEF LEPPARD's Rick Savage said: "12 years ago we embarked on a U.S. tour with JOURNEY and it was an absolute blast. Looking forward to hooking up again. Believe me, this will be even more spectacular."
