Journey and Def Leppard Create a Summer Tour in 5 Minutes

Who says that planning a huge summer tour is a ton of work? Journey and Def Leppard apparently think it’s a walk in the park.

Neal Schon and Joe Elliott created their whole 2018 summer tour in about five minutes on a whiteboard in this exclusive behind the scenes footage.

The 58 city tour will begin on May 21st in Hartford, Connecticut, and end on October 6th at the Forum in Los Angeles. Both bands will split headlining spots, and the itinerary includes 10 huge stadium shows and visits to venues like Madison Square Garden and Fenway Park.
