Def Leppard will head to arenas across the UK and Ireland in December.
The British rockers will perform their 1987 seminal record, 'Hysteria', in its entirety, plus other hits, at 11 shows, including a return to Sheffield Arena for a homecoming date, and their first ever show at the O2 arena in London.
The tour, which also features stops in Dublin, Belfast, Cardiff, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, will be their first UK and Ireland trek since their arena tour in 2015. Tickets go on sale at 9am on January 26.
Speaking about it, Rick 'Sav' Savage said:
"After many requests from fans in the UK, 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.”
The band have also released their full catalogue of material on streaming services for the first time. Vocalist Joe Elliott commented:
"It is with a mixture of relief and euphoria that we now see our entire catalogue finally getting a digital release. Having embraced every other format with open arms, especially and more recently the re-emergence of vinyl, we’re now going to be available to everyone everywhere and honestly, it’s as exciting as the original releases were."
