Def Leppard plays to a capacity crowd at Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Mich.

Def Leppard hit the road this spring for a three-month trek through North America and Canada, where they will be focusing on cities that they missed in the 2016 tour. The Live Nation-promoted, sold-out show at Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Mich., topped our Hot Tickets chart this week with ticket prices that ranged from $40-$125, grossed nearly $900,000, and treated 10,000 fans to an amazing night of rock-n-roll. The 38 dates in the band’s nostalgia-packed tour include four solo headlining dates, four festival dates, and 30 dates where Def Leppard will team up and share the stage with Poison and Tesla. The English rock band will make their next stop May 5, in Charlottesville, Va., at the John Paul Jones Arena.

Chris Rock launched his first extensive world tour in nine years when he embarked on his 2017 Total Blackout tour. Rock’s long-awaited tour made a stop on our Hot Tickets chart this week after entertaining a crowd of nearly 7,000 fans and grossing over $750,000 at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Conn. The comedian will continue to charm audiences with his quick-witted humor, May 13, at Smart Financial Centre, Sugar Land, Texas.
