I've heard about this for awhile. Wanted to wait until it was
confirmed.

[quote]Kiss and Def Leppard have made their long-rumored tour
team-up official. The two popular bands will share the stage at
40 venues across North America this summer, beginning June 23 in
West Valley City, Utah.
All nine members of the two groups seemed to be in a fantastic
mood during the Los Angeles-based press conference today,
trading jokes about weight, ages, hair and inter-band
relationships. Def Leppard singer Joe Elliot even offered a
theory about the (relatively) minor earthquake that rocked the
city earlier in the day: I think it was Gene [Simmons], he
dropped his wallet.
Everyone got more serious when they spoke of the charitable
aspect of the tour. Simmons explained that much like Kiss last
stateside trek, a dollar from each ticket will be donated to
various wounded warrior organizations, to support our proud
military, [who] make freedom possible. Elliot explained that
the choice was an easy one for Def Leppard as well, seeing as
how weve got our own wounded warrior here, a reference to
drummer Rick Allen, who famously lost an arm in a 1984 car
crash.
One or more veterans will also be hired to work on the tour as
part of the Hiring Our Heroes campaign, which Kiss previously
supported on their 2012 tour. In addition, military personnel
will have first crack at concert tickets with a special pre-sale
at Military.com starting Tuesday, March 18 at 10AM local time.

I know that they are the Big Two for this particular Tour, but I
they should have had Night Ranger up on stage to really 'sell'
the f*ck out of the package and make it even more desirable.
Missed opportunity on their part. Don't care if there isn't
enough room on stage for all 3. Make it work.
