Their groundbreaking records Pyromania (1983) and Hysteria (1987) continue to be counted among the best-selling albums of all time, featuring hits such as Rock of Ages, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Animal and Foolin’.
The band also commands a substantial digital presence with over 20 million followers across social media platforms. The 2026 tour will mark the first opportunity for Indian audiences to watch Def Leppard live, more than 45 years after the group first formed.
