Big hair, big riffs, and even bigger cheesy arena rock: We're talkin' Def Leppard, folks. The band is headed our way with throwback lady-rockers Heart, who rocked this year's Lilith Fair and, according to Elke Mermis, actually kind of kicked ass. Rock's favorite one-armed drummer and the rest of the crew will be at the Sprint Center on August 27. (Insert "Pour Some Sugar on Me" joke here.) Tickets go on sale March 5, at 10 a.m.
