Def Leppard will play the NFL pre game show at Wembley Stadium tomorrow before the Oakland Raiders vs Miami Dolphins game.
The Oakland Raiders will play the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium tomorrow with the band scheduled to play at 5:38pm. Kick off is at 6pm.
The performance is the first without Vivian Campbell since he joined the band in early 1992.
Def Leppard have only played Wembley Stadium once before at the April 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute show. The stadium has since been rebuilt and was reopened in 2007.
The appearance was announced on 26th August by the band in a video message on NFLUK.com.

Trivia - The T-Shirt worn by Joe when he sang with Queen was given to him by bassist John Deacon in 1986. He had worn it during The Magic Tour and swapped it with Joe for his "Freddie Starr" T-Shirt (as worn on the 1986 Monsters Of Rock tour).

Joe Elliott 26th Sep Quote
"It's ironic actually that the performance on Sunday, which by the way it's not half time it's pre game. It's the first gig in 22 years that we'll have done without Viv. And the first gig we did with him was at Wembley for the Freddie Mercury Tribute show. Save for a little rehearsal show in Dublin."
