80s stars Def Leppard bringing Hysteria show to NZ with Scorpions

April 26, 2018
Musicians Rick Allen, Phil Collen, Joe Elliott, Rick Savage and Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard.

British rock stars Def Leppard have extended their US and UK tour to include a show in Auckland later in the year.

The band will play their landmark, longest recording, 1987's seminal Hysteria, in full at Spark Arena on November 12.

German rock legends Scorpions will join the tour for their first New Zealand concert in the band's 50-plus-years history.

Four years in the making, Hysteria is the groundbreaking, 12-track album that saw Def Leppard overcome the adversity of drummer Rick Allen's car crash injury.

He remained in the band, playing with one arm. 

The album includes rock anthems such as Animal, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Hysteria and Armageddon It.

Def Leppard will also perform other songs from their 100-million-plus selling catalogue.

Tickets go on sale on May 4, with pre-sale commencing May 1.
