2008 marks the release of a new studio album, Songs From The Sparkle Lounge, for Britain’s greatest arena rock band Def Leppard, and a World Tour.

2007 was another monumental year for the band, playing a 50 date arena tour across the USA. Starting June 2007 and ending in September 2007, the group’s summer concert tour became a must-see phenomenon -- regularly selling out arenas to crowds of 15,000 to 20,000! The show featured stunning production and a special acoustic set, in addition to Def Leppard’s huge catalogue of global hits. 2007 was also the 20th anniversary of the band’s legendary “Hysteria” release, an album summed up by Mojo magazine in Sept 2007 as “Hard rock’s equivalent of “Thriller””.

With more than 65 million albums sold worldwide, not to mention two prestigious Diamond Awards to their credit, Def Leppard--Joe Elliott (vocals), Vivian Campbell (guitar), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick "Sav" Savage (bass) and Rick Allen(drums)—continues to be one of the most important forces in rock music.  The group’s spectacular live shows are filled with hit after hit from their groundbreaking discography that set the sound for generations of music fans and artists. Def Leppard’s powerful rock anthems have become synonymous with their name and it’ easy to see why rock fans keep gravitating toward their electrifying live performances. On their 2008 tour, the band is promising a highly-charged, no-nonsense set of rocking performances, packed with hits spanning its entire career. Def Leppard are one of only five rock groups who can claim two separate original 10 million plus selling albums in the US.  The others are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Van Halen.
