Def Leppard<\/a> is hitting the road again.<\/p>\n

And, as per usual, Def Leppard<\/a> is bringing along a co-headliner to help sell some extra tickets. This time around, it\u2019s a quite unexpected one \u2014 Goo Goo Dolls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yeah, there probably weren\u2019t a lot of people expecting a pairing of classic rockers Def Leppard<\/a> and \u201990s pop-rock hitmakers Goo Goo Dolls<\/a>. But, hey, it could work \u2014 maybe not as well as previous treks with fellow classic rockers Journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet, without a doubt, Goo Goo Dolls are leaps and bounds better than Def Leppard\u2019s<\/a> other longtime tourmate \u2014 Motely Crue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, of course, who isn\u2019t?<\/p>\n

Northern California fans can catch Def Leppard and Goo Goo Dolls \u2014 plus opening act The Struts \u2014 on May 5 at Chase Center in San Francisco and May 7 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.<\/p>\n

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Oct. 16, livenation.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There also several presales happening \u2014 artist fan club presale beginning at 10 a.m. Oct. 12; Citi and Verizon Shine presales starting at noon Oct. 12 (www.citientertainment.com<\/a>, My Verizon App).<\/p>\n
