Cheap Trick, Def Leppard, Poison band together for summer tour

So this seems to be this year's big multi-group flashback outing hitting amphitheatres this summer. Def Leppard, Poison and Cheap Trick will tour together from late June to early September. I have to agree with David Menconi's view that I would be much more interested to see Cheap Trick, who is third on the bill, than the hair metal/power ballad bands topping the bill (though I do enjoy the occasional classic Def Leppard song).

The tour will come to the amphitheatre at Walnut Creek on August 7. There's no word yet on when tickets will go on sale.
