Def Leppard played another show with Journey on the 2018 North American tour last night in Little Rock, AR with 16 songs performed.

The show took place at the 15,000 capacity Verizon Arena.

The band last played Little Rock on 11th May 2016 on the Summer Tour 2016.

The 7th show the band have played in this city .

The first visit was in May 1983 at the Barton Coliseum during the Pyromania tour.

A show slightly marred by the fact that one of Sav's black Fender basses was stolen from backstage.

The band returned to the same venue twice more in February 1988 and December 1992 for In The Round show during the Hysteria and Adrenalize tours.

They would return in July 1996 for an outdoor show at the Riverfront Park Amphitheatre on the Slang tour.

The same venue would then be played again in August 2000 on the Euphoria tour.

The next visit saw the first show at the Altel Arena in October 2006 on the YEAH! tour with Journey.

This venue would be played for a second time in May 2016 before being renamed as Verizon Arena.

Another near sell out crowd with Joe telling them about England's victory in the World Cup match against Sweden earlier in the day.
