Twelve years after their first co-headlining tour, Journey and Def Leppard are reuniting for a 58-city, six-month tour that will make its way to the Valley later this year.

Kicking off in late May on the East Coast, the tour's first stop is Connecticut. Working their way through the states, the rock-legends will eventually end their tour in California in October.

The tour is set to headline in Phoenix Friday, September 7, at Talking Stick Resort Arena. We can expect rock classics such as "Don't Stop Believin'," "Faithfully," "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages," with a modern twist in an all-new production to the complete sets by both bands.

"Twelve years ago we embarked on a US tour with Journey and it was an absolute blast. Looking forward to hooking up again," says Rick Savage, bassist with Def Leppard, in a press release. "Believe me, this will be even more spectacular."

Ticket will range in price from $44.75 to $174.75. They will be available on Saturday, February 3, through Live Nation's website.
