News: DEF LEPPARD to be inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Legendary British rock‘n’roll icons Def Leppard are proud to announce their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame®. The band will be inducted into the 2019 Performer Category alongside The Cure, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, Roxy Music and The Zombies. Presented by Klipsch Audio, the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® Induction Ceremony will take place on the 29th March 2019 in Brooklyn, NY at Barclays Center.

Def Leppard join a long list of legends to receive this coveted honor, in addition to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the impressive “Class of 2019.” With sales eclipsing 100 million albums and a reputation as one of rock’s most enduring and influential bands, this represents yet another massive milestone for the legendary British rock icons.

Following the close of their historic 2018 co-headline stadium and arena run in North America, Def Leppard sold a staggering 1,000,000 tickets and the tour grossed over $100,000,000.00, a massive feat in today’s touring world. The band are currently in the UK performing their iconic album Hysteria to sold out arenas – see below for remaining dates – and set to tour Europe in 2019. As always, the group keep pushing forward with their electrifying live shows that have transcended the test of time.
