Def Leppard/Journey 2006

Def Leppard kicked off their 2006 YEAH! North American tour with Journey in Camden, NJ on this day in 2006.

The show took place at the 24,000 capacity Tweeter Center @ Waterfront.

Their second visit to Camden for a full show after playing the same venue in July 1996 on the Slang tour.

A show with Bryan Adams was scheduled on 1st July 2005 at Campbell's Field baseball stadium but the band only managed to complete the soundcheck before it had to be called off. This was due to damage to lighting equipment and the staging following heavy storms in the area.

The tour with Journey had been announced in late March 2006 and was the first time the two acts had toured together.

The initial announcement included 34 dates running from 23rd June until the end of August.

Ticket sales were so strong that in early May more shows were added.
