Def Leppard just can’t seem to get enough of the special pairings. The band toured with KISS last summer and this year they’re spending June-October with special guests Styx and Tesla. The English rock act shared the stage with Whitesnake on a handful of nights in 2013 as well as on a 2008 tour.
“I am very excited to be working with Whitesnake again; we had such a wonderful time when we did it back in 2008,” Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott says. “It’s a great experience for rock fans to be able to see two great live bands on the same stage on the same night.”
