DEF LEPPARD Announce First Show Of 2019 European Tour In BARCELONA

Def Leppard 2018

Def Leppard will headline the 2019 Rock Fest in Barcelona, Spain as part of their European tour.

The first show of 2019 has just been announced by the organisers of the festival which takes place in July.

The band will return to Spain as part of their European tour from July 4th to 7th (day to day schedule to be confirmed).

Rock Fest takes place outside Bracelona in Parc de Can Zam, Santa Coloma de Gramanet.

This will be the band's first ever festival show in Spain.

The last visit took place in June 2013 when four shows were played in the country with Whitesnake and Europe. Two of those shows (San Sebastian/Madrid) featured the full 'Hysteria' album played. Two of only three times this was done outside of the VIVA! Hysteria residency.

Also playing the festival are Testament, Avatar, Demons & Wizards, Elvellon, Rage, Sonta Arctica, Therion and fellow UK rockers Thunder who played with Def Leppard in 1993 and 2008.

Further European festival shows are likely to be announced soon as part of the tour already mentioned by Phil. This first show puts them in Europe not long after the Download festival happens in England (...). Shows will also be played in USA, Canada and in South America.

The appearance is being advertised as "unique and exclusive" suggesting a 'Hysteria' album show.

On 19th January 2018 around the world, legendary British rock icons Def Leppard debuted their full recording catalogue worldwide via https://DefLeppard.lnk.to/Digital. One of the last multi-platinum selling acts to be made available on streaming and download platforms, music fans from all corners of the globe have been streaming and downloading tracks and albums from Def Leppard.

The response has been extraordinary with a host of Def Leppard album and singles re-entering the charts across the world. “Hysteria” reached No 3 in the USA iTunes chart and No 5 in the UK iTunes chart.

As a cornerstone of rock and roll’s history, Def Leppard’s substantial career includes numerous hit singles including their first early chart hit “Wasted” — to their radio and MTV staples “Bringin’ On The Heartbreak”, “Photograph”, “Rock of Ages”, “Too Late”, “Animal”, “Armageddon It”, “Love Bites”, “Rocket” and “Let’s Get Rocked.” Their ground-breaking multi-platinum albums—including two of the best-selling albums of all time with sales of more than 10 million copies each in the U.S. alone Pyromania and Hysteria, captured some of the group’s legendary tracks, bringing together classic Leppard hits such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me”, “Hysteria” and “Foolin’.” The group continued their success expanding into the world of film, covers, and new collaborations including “Two Steps Behind” from the film Last Action Hero, “No Matter What”, “Waterloo Sunset”, and “Nine Lives” with Tim McGraw as well as Def Leppard hits “When Love and Hate Collide”, “Slang”, “Work It Out”, “Promises” and “Now.” Finally, all of Def Leppard’s awe-inspiring music is available to everyone, around the world from the band’s eponymous debut EP through to their most recent album.

Def Leppard – Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick “Sav” Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar) and Rick Allen (drums) – continue to be one of the most important forces in rock music. Over the course of their career the band has produced a series of classic ground-breaking albums that have sold over 100 million copies worldwide and set the bar for generations of music fans and artists alike. The group’s spectacular live shows and arsenal of hits have become synonymous with their name, leading Def Leppard to be heralded as an institution in both the music and touring industry.
