Heart in New Zealand - First Time Ever!
9/29/11
With more than 65 million albums sold worldwide, Def Leppard - Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick "Sav" Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar) and Rick Allen (drums) - continue to be one of the most important forces in rock music.
Over the course of their career, the band has produced a series of classic groundbreaking albums (including Pyromania and Hysteria) that set the bar for generations of music fans and artists alike. Their epic live show and huge arsenal of hits have become synonymous with their name, leading Def Leppard to be heralded as an institution in both the music and touring industry. With hits such as “Pour Some Sugar On Me”, “Photograph”, “Let’s Get Rocked”, “Animal”, “Rock of Ages”, “When Love & Hate Collide” and “Love Bites”, Def Leppard have become a staple on rock radio and music television worldwide.
Heart will be joining Def Leppard on their first ever tour of New Zealand. From their very first album in 1976, Heart showed the world that women can rock. Not only did the Wilson sisters (Ann and younger sister Nancy) lead the band, they wrote the songs and played the instruments too, making them the first women in rock to do so. Some of Heart’s biggest hits include “Magic Man”, “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You”, “These Dreams” and “Barracuda.” Throughout their 35 year career, Heart has sold more than 30 million records and had 22 Top 40 hits. In 2010 they returned to the Top 10 again with the critically acclaimed album Red Velvet Car. (www.vectorarena.co.nz) Read more...

Clevescene.com - We can pretty much guarantee Guns 'N Roses getting in this year. Heart have a pretty good chance too (especially since Ann and Nancy Wilson recently paid a visit to the Rock Hall).
Associated Press - Heart similarly made an indelible mark on the rock scene of the 1970s and `80s. Among the first women to front an aggressive rock band, singer Ann Wilson and her sister, guitarist Nancy Wilson, cut some of the era's most memorable songs, from "Barracuda" to "Magic Man," and inspired a generation of women along the way.
