Def Leppard will start their 2015 tour of UK and Ireland in Dublin in 8 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 third show takes place in Newcastle, England on 9th December.
This will be the band's 13th show in Newcastle since the first visit in August 1979.
