Def Leppard will start their 2015 tour of UK and Ireland in Dublin in 5 days on 6th December.
The 10 date tour was announced on 27th March this year when the band also (sort of) confirmed their new album would be self titled.
This countdown focuses on the ten shows and the band's live history in each city with links to the show pages.
The sixth show takes place in Nottingham, England on 13th December.
This will be the band's 9th show in Nottingham since the first visit in September 1979.

- July 17th, 2008 - Trent FM Arena, Nottingham, ENGLAND
The first arena show played here and it took place on the 30th anniversary of their first ever public show in Sheffield.
A return to the same venue as 1987 after a 16 year gap.

As you can see from the photo - the last show played here with Steve Clark in the band and last time they would play here until 2003.
A show originally planned for the Rock City venue in March but postponed due to Joe's health. One of the three shows played in December 1983.
- December 11th, 1980 - Nottingham Boat Club, Nottingham, ENGLAND
- February 23rd, 1980 - Nottingham Boat Club, Nottingham, ENGLAND
Two shows including a return on the ill fated December 1980 club tour.
The first show in the city during their Early Years tours at this tiny venue with a capacity of just 200.
