[Def Leppard 2001 publicity shot 1- LS]NEW YORK, NY, April 13, 2011 - Def Leppard has confirmed June 7th as the release date for their first ever live album Mirror Ball (Bludgeon Riffola/Mailboat Records), which will be available exclusively at Walmart & Sam's Club locations in the United States and Canada.  The album will include a 50 minute DVD that contains live performances and intimate backstage footage of the band captured on the road. A special limited vinyl edition will also be made available. Mirror Ball will also be available online, marking the first time the band's music will officially be made available for digital purchase.  Def Leppard will also be releasing their new community based website in May, which is being developed to be the ultimate Def Leppard fan experience and go- to destination for all things on the band.

Said Joe Elliott, "To be able to say at last, we have a live album out & it be a three disc package which includes a DVD makes me very happy ... it's the soundtrack of OUR lives...!"

Mirror Ball was recorded across the world over the course of many of the band's sold-out dates and features all of the classic songs that have made Def Leppard one of the most respected and beloved power rock bands in the world. The album captures the group's legendary concert experience at its thunderous best, bringing together live versions of classic Leppard hits such as "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Rock of Ages," "Foolin'," "Hysteria," "Photograph" and an incredible rendition of "Bringing on the Heartache."  With their creative juices at full flow, the band has also added three new studio tracks:  "Undefeated," "It's All About Believin'" and "Kings of the World," that are undeniably Def Leppard. Mirror Ball follows the band's 2008 studio release, Live From the Sparkle Lounge, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200, marking the group's highest chart position since 1992's Adrenalized.

Over the course of their career, the band has produced a series of classic groundbreaking albums that set the sound for generations of music fans and artists. The group's spectacular live shows, filled with powerful melodic rock anthems, have become synonymous with their name. For the past thirty years the band's concerts have become must-see events and have quickly made them and institution in the touring industry, as they continue to sell out arenas worldwide.
