Def Leppard/KISS Tour 2014
Def Leppard's Summer Tour 2014 tour mates KISS and The Dead Daisies have today announced a tour of Australia.
They play dates between 3rd and 13th October in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane. The production includes their 'Spider' stage.
The Summer Tour 2014 ended on 31st August last year in Houston, TX.
KISS hinted afterwards that the touring with Leppard may well continue into 2015.
Today's news seems to suggest that won't be the case. Joe Elliott and others had mentioned touring Australia/New Zealand, Japan and even South America this year with the only available gaps in the current schedule being October/November.
The band will tour the UK in December and Vivian suggested recently the dates before this had yet to announced even to the band members.

2015 Tour/2016 Plans
"It's now until the end of the year actually. After America we're supposedly - I haven't seen the dates yet - but we're trying to schedule Japan, Australia, New Zealand. I know we have a tour in the UK coming up in December. And then actually even into early next year there's talk about doing a couple of things in January and February."
