DEF LEPPARD's JOE ELLIOTT Says THE STADIUM TOUR Coming To UK/IRELAND In 2023

Def Leppard 2022. Def Leppard 2022

Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott has again said The Stadium Tour is headed to the UK in 2023.

The Stadium Tour is scheduled to start on 16th June in Atlanta, GA.

The band's first tour since 2019.

Following his previous comments on the tour heading to the UK in 2023 Joe said last night on his weekly radio show the tour will hit "Britain and Ireland" in 2023.

A run of stadium shows seems likely all over Europe with news the tour will also visit Germany.

The band's largest ever headline show on the continent to date was the May 1993 appearance at the Rock Am Ring festival in Germany to 55,000 fans.

Two stadium dates with Bon Jovi were played in 2019.

Although not headliners, Motley Crue played multiple stadiums in Europe in 1984 and 1991 during the Monsters Of Rock tours with AC/DC and Van Halen.

The Stadium Tour 2023

Joe has now included Ireland along with the UK as countries to be played in 2023 on The Stadium Tour.

This follows the previous news about the tour moving to the UK in 2023.

A full European tour "appears" to have been confirmed as Joe said the band will also play Germany in 2023 when speaking to local radio there.
