Def Leppard played another show on the 2017 North American Tour last night in San Antonio, TX with 17 songs performed.
The show took place in front of over 19,000 fans at the AT&T Center Grounds.
The first ever visit to the River City Rockfest.
They headlined the Bud Light stage alongside Godsmack, Three Days Grace, The Pretty Reckless, Buckcherry, Black Stone Cherry, Kyng and The Heroine.
The band's first visit to San Antonio since 24th September 2011 on the Mirrorball World Tour.
The 14th time the band have played in this city.
The first visits were in June 1980 as support to Judas Priest and Ted Nugent on their debut American tour.
They returned to the Convention Center Arena for shows in November 1981 and for their first headline show in May 1983 on the Pyromania tour.
This venue was once again played for two In The Round shows in November 1987 and February 1993.
The next visit was at a Walmart parking lot in June 1999 to promote the Euphoria album release with a second full show taking place at Freeman Coliseum in August 2000.
A run of four shows at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater started in May 2003 on the X/Ten tour followed by shows in October 2005, July 2006 and August 2007.
The last visit in September 2011 on the Mirrorball tour saw them play the AT&T Center arena for the first time.
Last night's show took place on the grounds of this arena.
The full production was once again used on the smaller outdoor stage.
17 songs were played at last night's show with all three new album songs staying in the set.
All new songs were played in San Antonio for the first time.
