Def Leppard 2018. By dltourhistory

A round up of Def Leppard News with links to stories and updates from this week in the band's history.

A week where the band members all celebrated Christmas at home with their families.

New 2020 Def Leppard Releases

Joe talked about the many new releases the band have planned for next year when talking to SiriusXM recently.

They include The Early Years box set which feature the rare Oxford 1980 live show. A box set which is due in March and will probably confirmed/announced very soon.

He also confirmed "special" release is planned for Record Store Day in April.

Another exciting series of releases Joe talked about is "2020 Vision". A new reissue series where the band will re-release upgraded versions of past video content.

This will include not only previously released material but also unreleased and/or never before seen content.

Next Def Leppard Album/New Songs

Joe insisted the band will definitely make another album after they have completed more reissue work in 2020.

He also mentioned their ongoing work on new songs and that touring is the number one priority for now.

The Stadium Tour 2020

Joe said the band are gobsmacked and very happy about the strong opening ticket sales for the stadium tour.

He also said there is talk of adding more shows in addition to the seven that were added on earlier this month.

The tour might also extend into 2021 but it depends on all of the band's schedules.

In this and another interview he said the tour production will be impressive but not dramatically different to what we've come to expect from the band's recent tours.
