Who are Def Leppard?

Def Leppard are a hard rock quintet from Sheffield, England. The band formed in 1977 and has featured frontman Joe Elliott, guitarists Vivian Campbell and Phil Collen, bassist Rick Savage and drummer Rick Allen since 1992. Across 12 studio albums, Def Leppard have sold over 100 million records and notched 15 Top 40 singles such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Photograph,” “Rock of Ages” and the chart-topping 1988 hit “Love Bites.” The group are one of the only musical acts to have earned two diamond certifications, for 1983’s Pyromania and 1987’s Hysteria, and the latter has since surpassed 20 million copies sold worldwide. Def Leppard were influential in the ’80s hair metal scene, but have continued to rock with eight Top 10 albums including their 2022 album, Diamond Star Halos. In 2019, Def Leppard were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The all-star lineup of The Summer Stadium Tour also matched the standard set by Def Leppard’s previous two live treks, 2022’s The Stadium Tour and 2023’s The World Tour, which included Mötley Crüe, Alice Cooper, Poison and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
