The U.K. hard rockers will be joined by Tesla on the outing. Tickets for all the shows are on sale now. Prior to the Canadian tour, Def Leppard will play a series of concerts in Europe throughout June and in early July.
By the time Def Leppard hits the road, they will be full-fledged members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The band will be inducted, along with Stevie Nicks, The Zombies, Roxy Music, The Cure, Radiohead and Janet Jackson, at a ceremony held March 29 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
In other Def Leppard news, guitarist Vivian Campbell will take part in a charity event in Los Angeles presented by Rocker Collective, a group that includes members of pop star Pink‘s touring band.
The show, scheduled for February 4 at El Cid restaurant and club, will include a concert, a dinner party featuring a three-course meal and photo opportunities with the musicians. All proceeds will benefit Create Now, which helps provide arts programs to vulnerable children in Southern California.
