Def Leppard

With more than 110 million albums sold worldwide and two prestigious Diamond Awards in the U.S., 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame^® inductees Def Leppard – Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar) and Rick Allen (drums) – continue to be one of the most important forces in rock music. The band’s classic groundbreaking multi-platinum albums have set the bar for generations of music fans and artists. The group’s spectacular live shows and an arsenal of hits have become synonymous with their name, leading Def Leppard to be heralded as the world’s greatest live rock band. Def Leppard’s influential career includes two of the best-selling albums of all time, “Pyromania” and “Hysteria” – the former now celebrating its 40th anniversary, capturing the group’s legendary hits such as “Rock of Ages,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Foolin.” For the first time, in 2018 Def Leppard debuted their full recording catalog worldwide via streaming and download platforms. As they did with the original release of their records, Def Leppard dominated the worldwide charts, charting in the iTunes Top 10 in more than 30 countries, including “Hysteria” at No. 3 in the U.S. and No. 5 in the U.K., 36 years after the album charted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. The band has amassed a staggering 5.5 billion streams since 2018, reaching a younger 18-44 demographic that now represents 58 percent of their fanbase. Additionally, the band has garnered an impressive 18 million followers across their social media platforms. In 2022, Def Leppard released their critically and commercially acclaimed 12th studio album, “Diamond Star Halos.” The album debuted at No. 1 on the Apple and Amazon Music charts, scored a Top 10 debut on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart, marking the band’s eighth Top 10 album, and garnered a No. 1 debut on Billboard’s Hard Rock chart. Following this success, the band released their 13th studio album, “Drastic Symphonies” with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 2023. The album charted at No. 4 on the U.K. album charts and spent an impressive 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Current Classical chart. In 2023, the band scored a U.K. No. 1 Netflix film with their cameo in the acclaimed movie “Bank of Dave.” The band will return for the film’s highly anticipated sequel, “Bank of Dave 2,” set for release in 2025. For their historic 2018 co-headline stadium and arena run in North America, Def Leppard sold more than 1 million tickets, a massive feat in today’s touring world. Def Leppard & Mötley Crüe topped that with a sold-out stadium run in 2022 and 2023, selling over 2.1 million tickets performing in 27 countries on five continents. As always, the group pushed the boundaries with their electrifying live shows and filled stadiums across North America with Journey on their Summer Stadium Tour. Most recently, the band teamed up with legendary guitarist Tom Morello for their single “Just Like 73,” which soared to No. 1 on the Mediabase Classic Rock chart.
