“So I’m really looking forward to performing there before the NFL game and of course soaking up the excitement of the actual match. I can’t wait!”
Alistair Kirkwood, Managing Director of NFLUK, added: “Having Def Leppard perform at Wembley is going to be very exciting and a lot of fun.
“We know their performance will get Wembley pumping, have the fans on their feet and set the tone for a great game.”

The game kicks off at 6pm and will be aired live in the UK on Channel 4.
