Def Leppard announce intimate Sheffield gig

Sheffield legends Def Leppard have announced an intimate gig in the city.

The 'stadium rock pioneers' are heading back to their roots and playing the 850 capacity Leadmill later on this month!

Joe Elliot from the band said:

“Sheffield is in the very DNA of this band! We are ecstatic to be starting the European leg of our world tour at home at Bramall Lane! When thinking of a warm up, it made sense to do a special set at The Leadmill, in the city where it all started.

"We know there are a lot of small music venues struggling across the UK, so we wanted to give back to what gave to us. The net proceeds from the evening will go directly to Music Venue Trust in an effort to keep UK clubs alive…and to coincide with the release of our symphonic record, “Drastic Symphonies”, on the 19th of May. It’s all very special!”
