Def Leppard unfurls more headlining dates

British rockers Def Leppard , who recently launched a co-headlining run with Bryan Adams, have lined up lots of new headlining dates for themselves, including a late-summer swing through Canada.

The group, which wraps up its first batch of shows with Adams in Texas on Saturday (6/11), will then tackle a dozen additional June dates, most of which will feature fellow rock quintet Tesla. A handful of July headlining stops--for which a support act has not yet been named--will follow, as will a 12-date run through Canada with Canadian rock trio The Tea Party in the opening slot.

The group also has additional July and August dates planned with Adams; dubbed the "Rock 'N Roll Double-Header Tour," the joint run touches down at minor league ballparks throughout the U.S.

All of the upcoming dates are shown below.

Last month, Def Leppard and Adams both issued new albums. Leppard offered up the two-disc best-of set "Def Leppard--Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection," while Adams delivered a new studio set titled "Room Service."

"Rock of Ages" entered The Billboard 200 album chart at No. 10 with sales of about 66,000 copies, according to Leppard's website.
