DEF LEPPARD: Ottawa, Hamilton Shows Rescheduled

April 18, 2008

The DEF LEPPARD show scheduled for Saturday, April 12 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada has been rescheduled for Sunday, August 10. Meanwhile, the April 13 concert at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada has been moved to Wednesday, August 6. Tickets purchased for the original shows will be honored on the new dates. Refunds will be made available at point of purchase.

Several DEF LEPPARD concerts were postponed due to an upper respiratory tract infection affecting the band's lead singer, Joe Elliott.

The group's tour, which was arranged in support of DEF LEPPARD's forthcoming album release, kicked off earlier this month.

DEF LEPPARD's new studio album, "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge", is scheduled for release on April 29 via Bludgeon Riffola/Island/UMe.

The 11-track "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge" is DEF LEPPARD's first album of brand new material since 2002's "X" and begins yet another remarkable new chapter in the band's 30-year recording career. Recorded last year during month-long stints at lead singer Joe Elliott's Dublin studio, the album's title refers to a backstage area called The Sparkle Lounge on DEF LEPPARD's 2006 tour where the band would go to write songs.
