Classic rock radio comes alive to kick off the week with what is a veritable super-bill featuring a pair of tried & true American rock & roll units (REO Speedwagon and Tesla, who’ve sold millions upon millions of records worldwide) teaming up with British heavy metal superpower Def Leppard.
The date comes smack dab in the middle of an almost 60-date run for Def Lep frontman Joe Elliott and band, so it’ll be interesting to see how the pipes are holding up when they get to the fairgrounds. The Leppards have already all but confirmed a 2017 tour with Poison, so Bret Michaels aficionados on a budget might consider sitting this one out.
It all happens at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, and more information is available at CL's events calendar page.
