Poison wins the award for most affable band of the evening. If her guitars have to do it, so should you. Her 45-minute churn of hit songs is worth braving the the heat and sun. Equal parts defiant growl and bright innocence, her iconic place in rock and roll is proven in her brief set. Rest assured, her vocals are as timeless as ever. And the guitars she played were somewhat uncooperative in the 90-degree Philadelphia swelter. Jett herself was quiet and reserved when speaking to the crowd.


Joan Jett and her Blackhearts took the stage at exactly 4:40, and were off shortly before 5:30 pm. They were off the stage by 4:16, and were invited by Tommy Lee and Vince Neil to open the 36 date tour. Classless Act would have been better served performing on a B stage during the intermissions between the earliest bands.

It’s clear he envisioned himself performing to a full stadium. Though, their lead singer Derek Day had plenty of energy. The group began performing at 4 pm to a near empty stage.

Below, each set is discussed with start time so that you may plan accordingly.Ĭlassless Act is the most underserved act on the bill. Fans should give themselves ample time to make sure they catch the band they are most dying to see. Indeed, this is a behemoth marathon of nonstop 80’s hard rock that has never happened before and will likely never happen again, at least in this capacity. Upon examination, this seems to have been corrected. Before the tour launched, some venue websites had 4:30 listed as the gate time instead of the show start time. You should look to your particular venue’s social media and website in the hopes of a finding a breakdown of parking, gates, and show times, as each is different. So let us here at TMU try to help with that.īeware that all adverts for the tour say it begins at 4:30 pm local time - that is when Joan Jett is supposed takes the stage. It's a good outdoor fun party evening.While the show is killer, it was clear in Philly that the logistics of such a monster bill mean that some fans are confused on when the show begins, and what time their favorite act hits the massive stage. I know people are super stoked for the lineup. And we'll just see what version of 'The Stadium Tour' might fit for other countries, if we decide to go. But us and DEF LEPPARD are super close that's great. Last July, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx told the 95.5 KLOS radio station that his band and DEF LEPPARD "might even drag" the same tour "to Europe, South America, Japan," but he cautioned, "We don't know yet. But I just want people to come out and be safe." So our fans are just particularly special I mean, they've always been a rock. The fact that we got the largest vote for the Hall Of Fame - the fan vote. "We're really bummed, 'cause, obviously, we wanted to get out there," he said. So, it's a bummer, but here we are."Īllen went on to say that he and his DEF LEPPARD bandmates were disappointed that they wouldn't be able to perform live again in the U.S. I think if we had gone out, it may have been a bit more of a patchwork of a tour as opposed to being able to play the whole thing from start to finish. "So I understand why they made that decision. "I think the primary focus has gotta be people's health and well-being," he said. In May 2021, DEF LEPPARD drummer Rick Allen told "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk" that promoters "made the right decision" by postponing "The Stadium Tour" for a second time. CRÜE toured with POISON back in 2011 and DEF LEPPARD teamed up with POISON for a string of road dates in 2017, but this jaunt marks the first time all four acts have hit the road together for an extended tour. "The Stadium Tour" marks the CRÜE's first live dates since wrapping its 2014/2015 farewell tour. "The Stadium Tour" will conclude on September 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The veteran rockers closed out a bill at Truist Park that included co-headliners MÖTLEY CRÜE and support from POISON and JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS.ĭEF LEPPARD's set included some of the band's biggest hits, such as "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Photograph" and "Rock Of Ages" - as well as songs from the group's latest album, "Diamond Star Halos", including "Kick" and "Fire It Up".ĭEF LEPPARD's long-delayed North American trek with MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON and JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS was originally planned for 2020 and later moved to 2021 and then to 2022. DEF LEPPARD battled rain for much of its performance Thursday night (June 16) at the opening show of "The Stadium Tour" in Atlanta, Georgia.
