Def Leppard: Their 2011 Mirror Ball Tour
The hard rock group Def Leppard is currently on tour visiting seven different countries and more than sixty cities world wide. The rock band is receiving rave results from fans as they continue their 2011 "Mirror Ball" Tour debuting their new album of the same name.
The tour began on June 7th of this year in Belfast, Ireland and then moved on to the United States. They have 46 U.S. cities on their tour and currently they will be playing in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Sept. 20, New Orleans on Sept. 22, Houston on Sept. 23, and San Antonio on Sept. 24. San Antonio will end the U.S. portion of their Mirror Ball Tour. Tickets are not sold out yet so you still have a chance to see them in concert.
On October 12th, the Mirror Ball Tour continues in New Zealand for one show and then for the rest of October, Def Leppard will be performing in Australia where fans have been begging them to return. In November, they have two shows scheduled in Japan and then it's on to the United Kingdom where they have six shows scheduled and they will end their Mirror BallTour.
Def Leppard's new album "Mirror Ball" is their first ever live album and it was recorded during their 2008/2009 Sparkle Lounge Tour. There are several studio tracks on the album including "Kings of the World", "Undefeated", and "It's All About Believin'". Other tracks found on this new album include "Foolin'", "Rock! Rock! ('Til You Drop)", "Nine Lives", and "Hysteria".
The band consists of five members all of which are original members: Rick 'Sav' Savage, Joe Elliott, Phil Collen,, Rick Allen, and Vivian Campbell. Joe Elliott hosts a show every Saturday on PlanetRock.com where he talks with other musicians, shares their stories, and plays song tracks. The show begins at 1 PM EST and is aired worldwide.
Recently, Def Leppard performed live on the season finale of "America's Got Talent" where they stopped in-between tour dates.
