Def Leppard, Poison, Cheap Trick on Tap For Tour

According to a report on Billboard.com, Def Leppard, Cheap Trick and Poison have teamed up for a summer tour that gets started on June 23 in Camden, NJ, and winds down on September 7 in San Bernadino, CA.

"We're going out with three bands, which limits the amount of time we can play to about 90 minutes," said Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliot. "When you do your greatest hits and some new material or extra stuff you might throw in, you have got to push and shove and clamp down."

Taking the sluggish economy into account, he added, "We've taken the path of least resistance, we've put a bill together that we think is attractive."

While the bands have not confirmed what venues they're playing just yet, they have nailed down the following dates and cities.
