Def Leppard, Bryan Adams to tour minor league ballparks
Def Leppard and Bryan Adams , two acts that had enormous success in the '80s, will team this summer to co-headline a tour of minor league ballparks dubbed the "Rock 'N Roll Double-Header Tour."
The outing kicks off June 1 in Portland, OR, and will visit 26 minor league ballparks. All concerts take place on non-game days.
In each ballpark, the stage will be set up in the outfield. Fans can either bring a blanket to sit on the field or sit in the stands, according to a press release.
Def Leppard and Adams each plan to release a new album in 2005.
On May 17, Mercury/UMe will issue "Def Leppard--Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection," a two-disc best-of album that features the new single "No Matter What," which originally was recorded by Badfinger. Two of Def Leppard's albums--"Pyromania" and "Hysteria"--have sold more than 10 million copies each in the U.S.
"Room Service," the latest album from Canada's Adams, will hit stores this spring. It already debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's European album chart. He'll also release a new book of photography this spring, dubbed "Calvin Klein--American Women."
Among Adams' No. 1 singles are "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?," "Heaven" and "All For Love" (with Rod Stewart and Sting).
