Hitmakers

Following the huge success of their Netflix biopic ‘The Dirt’, Mötley Crüe has seen a massive surge in new audience with fans around the world demanding the band tour again. This led to the band members reuniting and announcing that ‘Mötley Crüe is Back’ in 2019. They have over 15 million social media followers, a New York Times bestseller and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (tourist attraction in Los Angeles, California). The band is ready to deliver an over the top stage show packed full of hit songs.

Mötley Crüe said in a joint statement, “It’s on! We don’t think we’ve ever looked forward more to kicking off a tour than this one. We can’t wait to finally see all the fans across North America again. Get ready for a wild ride this Summer!”

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Def Leppard are one of the most important forces in rock music. In 2019, the icons closed out a sold-out worldwide tour including a North American stadium run and headlining the UK’s Download Festival to 90k screaming fans. Def Leppard’s star continues to rise and prevail. Additionally, the band has garnered an impressive 15 million followers across their social media platforms.

Exulted Joe Elliott, “On behalf of the band, we’re beyond thrilled that the stadium tour is finally happening this Summer … it’s been a while coming and we can’t wait to get back on stage again and we can’t wait to see you in one of the many stadiums soon!”

Poison will be bringing a rocking real and relevant no holds barred thunderous live show to the Stadium Tour this Summer with the all original line-up of Bret Michaels, C.C. DeVille, Bobby Dall, and Rikki Rockett. Poison will be unleashing an onslaught of hit after hit songs in its set.

Poison’s Michaels added, “There are not enough words to thank the three generations of fans for making this such an exciting, record breaking, historical tour with the fastest sellouts in history at these stadiums.”

Joan Jett grew up during a time when rock ‘n’ roll was off limits to girls and women, but as a teenager, she promptly blew the door to the boys’ club right off its hinges. After forming her band the Blackhearts in 1979, with whom Jett has become a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, she has had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles to her credit.

Enthused Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, “We are so excited to be back out on the road! We missed doing what we love most and can’t wait to see the fans out there again!”
