11:56pm - Def Leppard song 19 - 'When Love & Hate Collide' - first encore song.

6:20pm - Luca has said he may not update as much and given he's travelled all the way from Italy to see these shows you can understand him not wanting to post every 5 seconds. You should probably check in here every 20-30mins or so. Will likely be the same setlist but we'll see. Hopefully some live pics tonight (I did cheekily hint at this to Luca) and I did pass on all the thank yous to him from last night.

6:19pm - Blog is now live. If you see any news/updates online about the show please contribute.

As with yesterday - new updates will appear above this, each with a new time. Refresh to keep seeing them.
