Big news for rockers waiting for ‘The Stadium Tour’.
Classless Act — the rising Los Angeles band that once included Slash’s son London Hudson behind the drum kit will join Motley Crue and Def Leppard’s Stadium Tour next summer.
That means Classless Act will accompany the previously announced Stadium Tour supporting acts Poison, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Tuk Smith and the Restless Hearts when the already twice-postponed trek kicks off in July 2022 for a long stretch of dates across the United States.
Def Leppard’s Rick Allen recently talked to SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” about Leppard’s “The Stadium Tour” along with Motley Crue, Poison, and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, where it will now take place in 2022.
He said:
“I knew that [another postponement] was a possibility, but that news couldn’t come from me.
“I think whether it’s sports, whether it’s music, whether it’s theater, all of the promoters, it was their call. I happen to think they made the right decision because I think the primary focus has gotta be people’s health and well-being. So I understand why they made that decision.
“I think if we had gone out this year, 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, it’s a bummer, but here we are.
“I kind of knew it was coming, because when I saw Rage Against The Machine when I saw their tour get pushed, I was, like, ‘You know what? It’s a bummer, but I think we’re probably gonna be next.'”
