Motley Crue and Def Leppard kicked off the "Stadium Tour" with Poison, Joan Jett and Classless Act on Thursday (June 16) in Atlanta. Tickets for the upcoming shows are on sale here, and the bands' setlists from the first concert are now available — see below.

The Stadium Tour, announced in 2019 by Motley Crue and Def Leppard, was initially to take place in 2020. It was moved to 2021 after COVID-19 emerged, and again to this year because of the pandemic.

Now, however, the tour's rockin' along, but Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee was replaced partway through their set due to an injury he sustained prior to the tour's start. With four broken ribs, he powered through five songs before being replaced by Ozzy Osbourne drummer Tommy Clufetos. Lee insists he'll play as many songs as he can each night before relinquishing the kit to Clufetos as the tour continues.

See the setlists for Def Leppard (who closed out the night), Motley Crue and Poison below.

It's currently unknown how much the sets will change as the tour continues across America. But fans can peruse each act's songs from opening night. Are any missing that you want to hear on the Stadium Tour?

Last year, Crue singer Vince Neil returned to performing after falling and breaking bones at a solo show. The L.A. glam icons reportedly sold the rights to their song catalog for $150 million around the same time. Their latest material is four recordings they contributed to the soundtrack of their 2019 biopic.

This month, Def Leppard announced signature gin and issued a mobile matching game for iOS and Android called Def Leppard - Let's Rock It! Last month, the English hard rockers released Diamond Star Halos, the first Def Leppard studio album since 2015.

After two summers of delays it is FINALLY happening! The world’s most iconic and celebrated rock legends will hit the road together this summer for a coheadlining tour SO MASSIVE that it could only be held in North America’s biggest stadiums. THE STADIUM TOUR featuring, MÖTLEY CRÜE, DEF LEPPARD with POISON and JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS will hit select cities in the U.S. and Canada where each band will bring their electrifying stage shows while promising to perform their stadium sized anthems. Produced by Live Nation, the summer tour is set to steamroll through North America starting June 2022.

Following the huge success of their NETFLIX biopic THE DIRT, Mötley Crüe has seen a massive surge in new audience with fans around the world demanding the band tour again. This led to the band members reuniting and announcing that “Mötley Crüe is back” in 2019.While The Dirt caused a meteoric 350% increase in streams of Mötley Crüe’s music across all platforms and the younger 18-44 demographic now represents 64% of the band’s fanbase most of the new fans have never seen any of the band’s legendary live shows that Crüeheads have relished for 4decades. In 2021, Mötley Crüe celebrated their 40th band anniversary, as well as the 40th birthday of their iconic debut album, TOO FAST FOR LOVE. The 35th anniversary of their GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS hit album is coming up on May 15.

ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES Def Leppard are one of the most important forces in rock music. In 2019, the icons closed out a sold-out worldwide tour including a North American stadium run & headlining the UK’s Download Festival to 90k screaming fans. Def Leppard’s star continues to rise and prevail. The band have amassed a staggering 5.5 billion streams since 2018, reaching a younger 18-44 demographic that now represents 58% of their fanbase. Additionally, the band have garnered an impressive 15 million followers across their social media platforms.

With a career that has spanned music, film, television, Broadway, and humanitarianism, Joan Jett remains a potent force and inspiration to generations of fans worldwide. As a producer, she has overseen seminal albums by Bikini Kill, and the Germs’ LA punk masterpiece ‘GI.’ Jett and Kenny Laguna (her longtime producer and music partner) co-founded Blackheart Records from the trunk of Kenny’s Cadillac after rejections from no less than 23 labels. 40 years later, Blackheart is a thriving entertainment company producing music, film and television, and continues to champion emerging bands. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts continue touring the globe with headlining shows alongside fellow rock legends like The Who, Green Day, Heart, and Foo Fighters.
