Def Leppard and Journey have kicked off their 2024 Stadium tour with a pair of hit-stuffed sets at the Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. The show was the first in a series of 23 US dates that climax at Coors Field in Denver, CO, on September 8.
Leppard’s two biggest albums did the heavy lifting, with 13 of the 18 song setlist coming from the band’s gargantuan Pyromania and Hysteria albums, including tour debuts for the former’s Comin’ Under Fire – first performed last week at an invite-only show in Los Angeles – and recent single Just Like ’73.
“We changed the whole set,” guitarist Phil Collen told Ultimate Classic Rock recently. “You know, there’s a whole screen [production] and we’ve been using pretty much the same stuff for like 12 years. So we’ve changed it completely. The stage show is drastically different. It’s going to take a lot of energy. There’s going to be a lot of running around.”
Meanwhile, Journey’s set included classics like Stone In Love, Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’, Open Arms, Wheel In The Sky, Separate Ways (World’s Apart) and the inevitable closer, Don’t Stop Believin’.
Support came from Cheap Trick, whose setlist is below, along with those of the co-headliners. They’re scheduled to play another five shows on the tour, with the other dates completed by the Steve Miller Band. Heart, who were due to play at three shows on the tour in Cleveland, Toronto and Boston, pulled out after singer Ann Wilson announced that she’s to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy.
The next show on the tour is at Truist Park in Atlanta, GA, on July 13. Full dates below.
