The hottest rock tour of the summer has just gotten hotter. Fifteen additional fall concerts, including seven in Canada, have been added to the critically hailed tour starring British rock legends Def Leppard, with special guests Cheap Trick. The tour stops at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH on November 17.

“We are really amazed by how well the tour has been received,” said Def Leppard front man Joe Elliott. “Our fans have been absolutely fantastic. There’s really no greater compliment than to be asked to keep on doing it so that’s what we’re going to do.”

The tour highlights three decades of music from one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest bands. With combined sales of 80 Million albums worldwide, 65 million from Leppard alone, fans will be treated to hits like “Photograph,” “Rock Of Ages,” “C’mon C’mon,” “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” “Foolin’,” “Bringin’ On The Heartbreak,” “Nine Lives,” as well as Cheap Trick classics “I Want You To Want Me” and “Surrender.”

The tour has played to massive crowds throughout the summer. Celebrity guests, including include Taylor Swift, Larry Mullen, Jr. Of U2, and Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction, along with a wide range of fans of all ages have come to see the mega hit-filled show. Def Leppard also launched the first interactive tour in history via Rockzimity, a Bluetooth and Wifi exclusive.

Def Leppard (Joe Elliott/vocals, Vivian Campbell/guitar, Phil Collen/guitar, Rick "Sav" Savage/bass and Rick Allen/drums) sits at the top of an iconic class of rock ‘n’ roll bands. In fact, they are one of a handful of select groups, including the likes of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Pink Floyd and The Eagles, who have been awarded the R.I.A.A.’s prestigious Diamond Award more than once (Pyromania and Hysteria). The band’s most recent album Songs From The Sparkle Lounge debuted last year at #5 on the Billboard Top 200. They’ve also sold out the 02 in Dublin AND headlined Britain’s Download Festival 2009 to more than 80,000.

Over the course of their career, Def Leppard has produced a series of classic groundbreaking albums that set the sound for generations of music fans and artists. The group’s spectacular live shows, filled with powerful melodic rock anthems, have become synonymous with their name and are an institution in the touring industry as they continue to sell out arenas worldwide.

With more than 5,000 performances, 20 million records sold, 29 movie soundtracks and 40 gold and platinum-recording awards, Cheap Trick may be one of the most covered bands of all time. Since the 70s they’ve been blending elements of pop, punk and even metal in a way that is instantly catchy and recognizable.
