The Stadium Tour is a co-headlining North American tour by British rock band Def Leppard and American rock band Mötley Crüe, taking place in the summer and fall of 2022. Poison and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts are serving as the tour's special guests, while Classless Act is the opening band.[1][2] It is Mötley Crüe's first major tour in seven years (following their final world tour in 2014–2015), and Def Leppard's first in three years, with the latter touring in support of their twelfth studio album Diamond Star Halos.[3][4]
The Stadium Tour was announced on December 4, 2019, and was set to take place in the summer of 2020.[5] It was later announced that the tour would be rescheduled for 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] The tour was once again pushed back to 2022 due to the same circumstances.[7] The members of Def Leppard have indicated that a European leg of The Stadium Tour will take place in 2023.[8][9]
