To celebrate the band’s long overdue return to Australia, the ever-popular CHEAP TRICK will be along for the ride, making this one helluva double shot of rock With singles like ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’, ‘Love Bites’, ‘Rocket’, ‘Rock of Ages’ ‘Armageddon It’, ‘Let’s Get Rocked’ and ‘Photograph’, DEF LEPPARD have become a staple at rock radio all over the world.
DEF LEPPARD’s spectacular live shows have made them a touring institution, as they continue to sell out arenas around the world – Australia get ready!
CHEAP TRICK burst out of Rockford, Illinois in the late 70’s with an irresistible blend of pop, punk and metal. With timeless classics like ‘I Want You To Want Me’, ‘Surrender’, ‘Dream Police’, ‘If You Want My Love’ and the late 80’s lighter-waving favourite ‘The Flame’, the band have sold more 20 million albums and had their songs featured on 30 movie soundtracks. The four original members Rick Nielson (guitar), Tom Petersson (bass), Robin Zander (vocals/rhythm guitar) and Bun E. Carlos (drums) are still together, and still giving fans a fantastic live show.

"Armageddon It". Incredible word play. Poetry. Have they still got that one-armed drummer? Remember when he got arrested for beating his wife up? I always wanted to know how he did that.
The drummer smokin a ciggie all the way through the clip, the guitarist's rad Egypt-inspired knit, and the combined "whoo"s make that Cheap Trick clip pure gold.
