the August 3<sup>rd</sup> 1987 British rock band Def Leppard released the album “Hysteria”. Already a major force in rock music, “Hysteria” catapulted the band into the stratosphere. The statistics for “Hysteria” are astounding. The album has sold in excess
of 20 million copies and counting. Due to the incredible success of previous albums “Pyromania” (released in 1983) and “Hysteria” Def Leppard
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt">are one of only five rock groups who can claim two separate original 10 million plus selling albums in the US. The others are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Van Halen. The “Hysteria” album also spawned 7 hit
singles! Enormous hits such as “Pour Some Sugar On Me”, “Animal”, “Love Bites”, “Armageddon It” and “Rocket” are rock staples that still enjoy huge popularity today and have helped make Def Leppard Britain’s greatest ever arena rock band. The album remains
Def Leppard’s best loved…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

perfect way to bring together the live & the studio experience in a 2013 celebration of all things Hysteria.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
