What:
After a successful summer run, Def Leppard and Bryan Adams are teaming up once again for a co-headlining tour this fall. Only a handful of October and November dates have been announced including a tour stop at the Everett Events Center on November 8th. Showtime for this event is 7:30 pm.

Def Leppard's place in music history? Only five rock groups can claim two original albums selling over 10 million copies each in the U.S.: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Van Halen and Def Leppard. The British band's blockbuster Pyromania hit #2 and 10 times platinum; Hysteria soared even higher--#1 and 13 times platinum--led by the #1 single "Love Bites." The retrospective Vault has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. Now Def Leppard - Rock Of Ages: The Definitive Collection (Mercury/UMe) marks the band's biggest-ever "best of" album and the first two-CD set in the group's phenomenal career featuring the newly recorded single, "No Matter What" (originally recorded by Badfinger).

Bryan Adams is one of the world's most highly acclaimed musicians whose career has spanned more than three decades. This spring will see the release of Adams' 14th CD, Room Service, which debuted at No. 1 on the European Top 100 Album Chart!

The Everett Events Center, a $71.5 million multi-purpose complex, was developed by the Everett Public Facilities District. The 10,000-seat venue hosts a myriad of events including concerts, rodeos, ice skating and family shows. The Everett Events Center is also home to the Everett Silvertips, a Western Hockey League franchise, and the Everett Hawks, ArenaFootball2 League team. The venue accommodates other sporting events such as basketball, volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics.

The Comcast Community Ice Rink is used for public skating, local hockey leagues and much more. The two ice sheets can be converted to form a 57,000 square foot space to host trade shows and special events. The three-story Conference Center includes three 900 square foot executive meeting rooms, a 12,000 square foot ballroom, which can be arranged in a number of different configurations.

Global Spectrum (global-spectrum.com), the fastest growing firm in the public assembly facility management field, has more than 45 facilities throughout the United States and Canada. The Philadelphia-based company is part of one of the world's largest sports and entertainment firms Comcast-Spectacor.
