Def Leppard and Journey Kick Off Summer Stadium Tour in St. Louis: Video + Setlists
The post Def Leppard and Journey Kick Off Summer Stadium Tour in St. Louis: Video + Setlists appeared first on Consequence.
Def Leppard and Journey launched their Summer 2024 North American co-headlining stadium tour on Saturday night (July 6th) at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
The highly anticipated trek sees the rock legends teaming up for an all-star tour package that also includes support from Steve Miller Band and Cheap Trick on select dates (get tickets here).
This first show gave concertgoers a snapshot of the setlist that they can generally expect to hear from each band as the tour rolls through August and into September.
Def Leppard stuck closely to their classic 1980s albums and the hits from each: High ‘n’ Dry (“Too Late for Love,” “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak,” “Switch 625”); Pyromania (“Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop),” “Foolin’,” “Comin’ Under Fire,” “Die Hard the Hunter,” “Rock of Ages,” and “Photograph”); and Hysteria (“Rocket,” “Armageddon It,” “Animal,” “Love Bites,” “Hysteria,” and “Pour Some Sugar on Me”).
The setlist also included the new stand-alone single “Just Like ’73” , as well as one song from their 2022 album, Diamond Star Halos (“This Guitar”).
Guitarist Phil Collen recently told Ultimate Classic Rock that fans who saw Def Leppard in the past can expect a significantly new experience on this run. “We changed the whole set. You know, there’s a whole screen [production] and we’ve been using pretty much the same stuff for like 12 years. So we’ve changed it completely. The stage show is drastically different. It’s going to take a lot of energy. There’s going to be a lot of running around.”
Journey’s set was also rife with hit songs, most notably radio staples such as “Open Arms,” “Wheel in the Sky,” “Separate Ways (World’s Apart),” and the obligatory closing anthem and fan favorite “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
