Kiss and Def Leppard have announced that they join together this summer for a 42-city tour across North America. The news was announced Monday at the House of Blues in Los Angeles via a press conference.

According to Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott, the idea of the tour came about two years ago when he played with Gene Simmons as part of a rock-and-roll all-stars tour in South America. “It’s finally happened, which is fantastic,” Elliott says.

“We’ve run into each other at festivals. It just seemed to be a natural fit,” expanded Kiss singer Paul Stanley.
