DEF LEPPARD 2019 News Recap Part 11 (November)

Def Leppard 2019. By dltourhistory

Welcome to recap of all things Def Leppard in the year 2019 continuing with the month of November.

Another year (and decade) for the band has just ended and these updates look back at the major events that took place over the last 12 months.

Featuring links to past news stories.

A month in which the band played their final show of 2019 in Sacramento, California.

The last show of the year also saw Vivian open the night with his other band Last In Line.

Joe announced a show in Mexico City for 2020 three weeks ahead of the official announcement by the festival (Oops).

Rick Allen celebrated his 56th birthday just a day before the show.

Vivian revealed the announcement date for the 2020 tour after a couple of weeks of speculation online about a stadium tour with Motley Crue and Poison.

Joe talked about the possibility of a Down 'n' Outz UK tour in late 2020 and that it was highly unlikely before November.

Other major anniversaries also took place including the formation of the band in Sheffield in late 1977. And Rick Allen joining the band a year later in 1978.
