Def Leppard had announced a series of 'Hysteria' anniversary shows where they'll perform the record-breaking album in full. Taking in UK and Irish dates, including stops in both Belfast and Dublin, the trek will see the band joined by special guests Cheap Trick.
Late 2018 will see the band deliver what many UK and Eire fans have been waiting for – the 'Hysteria' album performed in full plus other Def Leppard hits across eleven arena dates in December 2018
Says bassist and founder member Rick “Sav” Savage; “After many requests from fans in the U.K, I'm delighted that we can bring the whole 'Hysteria' album to arenas across Britain and Ireland later this year. From 'Women' to 'Love and Affection' plus many other faves thrown in for good measure. Oh, and our old pals Cheap Trick will be there also to help with the celebrations!! We can't wait'."
These will be the first Def Leppard UK and Eire tour dates since the sold-out Arena run in late 2015. The band will return to Sheffield Arena for what is sure to be a monumental homecoming show, in addition to their first ever show at The O2, London. 2018 also marks the 35th anniversary of 'Hysteria’s predecessor 'Pyromania'.
The seminal 'Hysteria' album is rightly seen as a landmark recording in the history of rock music. It was the album that saw Def Leppard conquer the world with global hits such as 'Animal', 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', 'Hysteria', 'Armageddon It', 'Love Bites', 'Woman' and 'Rocket'. The band will deliver 'Hysteria' in full alongside other songs from their incredible catalogue.
