Their unique sound, iconic stage presence, and electrifying live performances have earned them a legion of devoted fans who eagerly await their next live concert event.

The origins of Def Leppard can be traced back to 1977, when a group of friends from Sheffield, England, formed a band and began playing gigs around town. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Joe Elliott, guitarists Pete Willis and Steve Clark, bassist Rick Savage, and drummer Tony Kenning. However, it wasn't until the release of their debut album, "On Through the Night," in 1980 that the band gained mainstream success.

Def Leppard quickly became a household name with the release of their second album, "High 'n' Dry," which featured hits like "Let It Go" and "Bringin' on the Heartbreak." It wasn't long before the band was headlining sold-out concerts and embarking on massive tours around the world.

The album featured hit singles like "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," and "Foolin'," all of which became instant classics. It was also the album that launched the band into superstardom, selling over ten million copies in the United States alone.

The band faced tragedy in 1984 when drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm in a car accident. However, this setback didn't stop Def Leppard from continuing to make music and perform live. Rick adapted by developing a unique electronic drum kit that allowed him to continue playing with the band, and in 1987, they released "Hysteria," their most successful album to date.

"Hysteria" featured hits like "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Love Bites," and "Armageddon It," and sold over twenty-five million copies worldwide. The band embarked on a massive world tour in support of the album, playing to sold-out crowds in stadiums and arenas around the globe.
