Def Leppard and Journey Tour Already Tops $50 Million (Week in Review)

Def Leppard and Journey Tour Already Tops $50 Million was a top story on Thursday: (hennemusic) The Def Leppard and Journey co-headlining tour of North America has topped $50 million in revenue just past the halfway mark of the six-month trek, according to Pollstar.

They report that the veteran rockers have played to more than half a million fans through 33 shows on the 58-city run since launching the series in Hartford, CT on May 21.

A mix of arena and stadium concerts, the top box office gross for the two classic rock bands so far comes from a July 21 show at Denver's Coors Field, where they earned $3.8 million in sales from a sellout crowd of 44,928.

"This tour is going to be a blast!," said Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott prior to the launch. "We've toured together before and it was massive. This time it's going to be even bigger and better!"

"These co-headlining Journey/Def Leppard dates will be epic classic rock shows," added Journey founder and guitarist Neal Schon. "So many hits. It will be great to see you all, friends!"
