Have you ever needed someone so bad? Have you ever wanted someone you just couldn’t have?

No need to feel that way when it comes to Def Leppard, as they are currently doing a tour across the US! This rock band from England took your heart away in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and luckily for us, they are still singing all their greatest hits live and in person. It’s so much better to enjoy rock stars when they’re “in your face” as in performing in front of you, above your awesome front row seats.

Def Leppard in particular is a great experience. The band has been rocking the charts since the 1980s with albums like High ‘n’ Dry, Pyromania, and Hysteria. Their best hits included “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak”, “Photograph”, “Pour Some Sugar on Me”, and “Love Bites”. Everyone has a favorite Def Leppard song, which is why the band is one of the world’s best selling artists with diamond certified albums and 100 million albums sold across the globe. The 1990’s also saw some major hits for the band, with their albums Adrenalize and Retro Active having the big hits like “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad”, “Let’s Get Rocked” and “Two Steps Behind”.

The band started in 1977 and was part of the “British Heavy Metal Movement”. Musically speaking, they are innovators, having combined elements of hard rock, pop, heavy metal and arena rock. Unlike most heavy metal bands, Def Leppard brings soulful guitar riffs and deep, multi-layered vocals to their music.

What does the future hold for this trendsetting band? In 2011, the band released the new album Mirrorball: Live and More and went on tour to promote the album. The album contains three brand new songs titled “Undefeated”, “Kings of the World”, and “It’s All About Believin'”.

In 2012, the band is teaming up with another rock legend, Poison, and is doing a summer tour across the US as well as headlining at Rock Fest. This is going to be one rocking summer for concerts, so be sure to see who is coming to your town, including the legends known as Def Leppard.
