Mercury Studios will release DEF LEPPARD "One Night Only Live At The Leadmill Sheffield May 19, 2023" on October 11, 2024.

Following a hugely successful "Record Store Day" release in April 2024, DEF LEPPARD "One Night Only Live At The Leadmill Sheffield May 19, 2023" will be available on CD, DVD+CD, Blu-ray+CD, limited-edition two-LP pressed on orange vinyl, digital audio and digital video. The DEF LEPPARD store is offering copies of the CD with a signed card (limited to 100 copies),and a "Live At The Leadmill" shirt.

On the eve of the band's largest European run ever — including a sold-out night at Wembley Stadium — and on the heels of launching their critically acclaimed and chart-topping new album "Drastic Symphonies" (recorded at the renowned Abbey Road),DEF LEPPARD streamed a one-off live performance from the historic Sheffield venue, The Leadmill. This unique set was from one of the most intimate shows the band has played in Europe in over 35 years, giving their fans the chance to hear and see the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame-inducted band up close performing an extraordinary stadium style set in a club setting.

DEF LEPPARD wanted to shine a light on The Leadmill, a vital part of the Sheffield and national U.K. music scene which is among many of the small U.K. music venues threatened with closure. Net proceeds from ticket sales from The Leadmill show are being donated to Music Venue Trust who diligently work to help struggling U.K. music venues.

When the show was first announced, DEF LEPPARD singer Joe Elliott 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 U.K., 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 U.K. clubs alive…and to coincide with the release of our symphonic record, 'Drastic Symphonies'. It's all very special!"
