Report: Fans Received Emails About Postponed Def Leppard/Motley Crue/Poison/Joan Jett Dates

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter
May 18th, 2020 10:07 AM

Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts have already announced that they would officially confirm on June 1 the future of “The Stadium Tour,” but some fans may already know the fate of the tour.

According to a blog called Bring Back Glam!, fans who bought tickets to July 2 show in Cinncinatti and the August 28 show in Chicago have received emails stating the shows have been postponed. This report would also be cited by Metal Injection and Metal Wani. The postponed dates, however, were not reported.

A source close to Motley Crue told Beasley Media that the report was untrue, saying “There just isn’t any definitive info right now,” adding that the band will make an announcement on June 1.

Earlier this month, all four acts released a joint statement saying the following:

“We wanted to reach out to all of our amazing fans and let you know that we’ve been hard at work preparing an amazing show. Our priority during this unprecedented time is to make sure that we are being as thoughtful and responsible as possible in the decisions we are making regarding The Stadium Tour and that we are putting the fans’ health, well being and safety first and foremost. We are currently weighing all options and are awaiting further direction from the powers that be. Our goal is to have an official update to everyone by June 1 outlining exactly how we will proceed. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy. We can’t wait to see you all again.”

‘The Stadium Tour’ Press Conference: 5 Biggest Takeaways

  • The 1980’s wasn’t a “mockable decade” for music.

    Share

    Def Leppard's Joe Elliott made a very interesting point about what this tour means for this genre of music. He said,"You just put those four names on a piece of paper and look at ’em, whichever way ’round they look at it, it’s a big statement really. And you know, the Eighties get mocked a lot. There is a lot of people that still think of the Eighties as a mockable decade, and we’re about to prove that it’s not. It’s last man standing to a point, maybe, but we have survived… You can sit and analyze it all you like, but at the end of the day, if the songs are still getting played on the radio, there’s a reason for that. It’s because they were good songs."

  • Tommy Lee will do something crazy with his drum rig

    Share

    Now that the Crue is back together, what should fans expects from Tommy Lee and his drumming theatrics? "I’m going to shoot myself out of a fucking cannon at this point," said Lee. "I don’t even know what’s left to do. We started designing the production a couple of days ago. We’ve always put everything we have into the design and the production, always try to do a show where people walk out going, ‘That was f---ing insane.’” What all that means is unknown as of right now, but Lee also said, "...everything's going to be four times as big" since they're playing stadiums.

  • Making the film version of ‘The Dirt’ really did bring the Crue back together

    Share

    Nikki Sixx made is very clear that he never thought Motley Crue would tour again after their last tour. He said, "We weren’t really getting along at that point. We had been together 35 years and it’s been a lot of years on the road. I don’t think we took a lot of time for ourselves off. We were just constantly touring for all that time. And when we came to the end, we broke the band up and everybody went their own ways. I think we really needed that break." However, that all changed with the script writing and filming of 'The Dirt.' Sixx said, "And I think we sort of realized how much, without even talking about the music, how much we missed each other… We missed each other to be honest with you. We missed being in a band together."

  • These shows are going to be an epic party

    Share

    With a bill like this, plenty of people are going to want to check out the show and have a blast, and that's something Poison's Bret Michaels knows and made a point to mention, "I'm just telling you that it is going to be not just ‘The Stadium Tour,’ it is the party of the summer." Nikki Sixx even mentioned, "Bret was saying to me a little while ago, [if] he wasn’t on the bill, he’d be going to the show."

  • More dates could be on the way

    Share

    Yesterday, 22 shows were announced for "The Stadium Tour," but more might be on the way. Joe Elliott said, "There’s 22 stadium shows, so it’s pretty much most major territories. And in fairness it seems to be growing and there’s more interest before it’s even gone on sale. So it may extend one way or another, even in the next year."
