Motley Crue and Def Leppard kicked off their anticipated “Stadium Tour” with Poison, Joan Jett and Classless Act on Thursday (June 16) in Atlanta. For fans unable to attend, the bands’ setlists from the show have been made available.
The Stadium Tour, jointly announced in 2019 by Motley Crue and Def Leppard, was initially to take place in 2020. It was moved to 2021 after COVID-19 emerged, and again to this year because of the pandemic.
Now, however, the tour is rockin’ along, but Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee was replaced partway through Crue’s set due to an injury he sustained prior to the tour’s start. With four broken ribs, he powered through five songs before being replaced by Ozzy Osbourne drummer Tommy Clufetos. Lee insists he’ll play as many songs as he can each night before relinquishing his drum kit to Clufetos as the tour continues.
See the setlists for Def Leppard (who closed out the night), Motley Crue, and Poison, below.
It’s currently unknown how much the sets will change as the tour continues across America. But fans can peruse each act’s songs from opening night. Are any missing that you want to hear on the Stadium Tour?
Last year, Crue singer Vince Neil returned to performing after falling and breaking his ribs during a solo show. The L.A. glam icons reportedly sold the rights to their song catalog for $150 million around the same time. Their latest studio material is four recordings they contributed to the soundtrack of their 2019 biopic The Dirt.
Earlier this month, Def Leppard announced a signature gin and issued a mobile matching game for iOS and Android called Def Leppard – Let’s Rock It! Last month, the English hard rockers released Diamond Star Halos, the first Def Leppard studio album since 2015.
