Def Leppard and Journey have announced they are going on an epic tour together – and they’re coming to Columbia.

Both bands are teaming up for a co-headlining North American tour at both stadium and arena concerts, with half of the shows being closed by Journey and the other by Def Leppard.

The tour kicks off May 21 in Connecticut. They’ll play at Colonial Life Arena on Aug. 15.

Tickets go on sale Feb. 3. There will also be a presale and VIP ticketing, but that information was not immediately available.

It’s not the first time both bands take on a tour together. A similar venture was done during the 2006 “Yeah! Tour.”
